Abs/Cardio?

Take out the fruit and add some oats and brown rice. Welcome to the forum!

For the most part I would say it's pretty good, but it could be better. I eat at least my bodyweight in protein every day, eat every 2-3 hours at least 6 times a day. My diet consists of mostly chicken, lunch meat, shakes, and red meat and lots of fruit. Where I slip up is fast food occasionally at work.

james, welcome to the board.

the first place you should look at when trying to lean down a bit is you diet. is your diet pretty good or is it lacking?

do some cardio a couple times a week low intensity low heart rate, do a steady walk on an incline burn some calories without losing to much muscle, and you gotta work lower abs man there like any other muscle, if you lose weight your triceps will show but why not make them bigger and have them pop out

I've been lifting for about a year now and I'm 5ft 10in and weigh 180lbs. I'm starting to get a lil bit of size to me now. Before i was pretty skinny. I haven't been worrying about cardio at all. I have a 4 pack, but want all six, although I haven't ever been consistent with doing my abs. I don't want the cardio to affect my size at all. Should I begin doing cardio now, or should I just hold off till I'm at a size to where I'm ready to start cutting. If I really put more effort into my abs I could probably get the bottom ones to show without cutting any body fat, but if i cut the body fat they would show for sure. I appreciate any suggestions you guys have. Thanks
