alternate title: aspartame is *not* bad for me.

spent the afternoon reading more about delta debugging and trying to have more of a breakthrough in my research. current trace alignment approach is mediocre, at best. it’s easy to lose focus sometimes, so i use diet coke to keep me going. now this foot business seems to be gradually improving it’s nice to regain some of my concentration. very much looking forward to my trip to panama over winter break.

about the shot setup: had a lot of diet coke cans and bottles that i was about to recycle and i had a stack of research papers to re-read. i took a plate, crumbled up some napkins and coffee grounds, threw it on the table and framed the shot while rearranging various cans and bottles for optimal messiness.

No whipping the head around or flapping your arms! This is not a sit-up either, the hips are stationary. Also important is to minimize any tension in the neck, I do this by very lightly supporting my head with my hands or the weight plate The main reason to workout abs is because strong abs stabilize your lower back and shield you from injury but as a side benefit a 6-pack looks great!You can ask me questions on my facebook page: www.facebook.com For more ab exercises: scoobysworkshop.com Nutrition is key to getting abs!
