The Situation banned from showing off his abs [VIDEO]

Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino is going through a rough patch lately.

After admitting himself to rehab last week for substance abuse issues, the “Jersey Shore” star is facing another roadblock: He is forbidden from showing off his abdominal muscles — as he is frequently wont to do.

Sorrentino’s so-called “situation” is his abdominal region, which he frequently exposes on “Jersey Shore.”

Unfortunately for The Sitch, while undergoing treatment at the celebrity favored Cirque Lodge in Utah, he must conform to all the guidelines of the facility, including following the ”no abdominal exposure” rule.

TMZ obtained the guidelines for residents at Cirque, which prohibit showing excessive skin, muscle shirts, sleeveless tops, ripped jeans, hats, sunglasses, and all clothing with obscene language.

Guess that rules out just about every article of clothing in his closet.
