BTW...I have no idea how kasino is able to knock out 300 reps of an excersizes....my abs are pretty strong and I'm done right under 200 somewhere.

I could hit 300 probably on a day dedicated to abs only but after doing a hour worth of weightlifting...no way I can knock out 300 reps lol.
.the number is slowly climbing though...I went from about 150 to about 190 in a span of 3 weeks....still can't see it though.

How many different ab excersizes do you do? I don't use any ab machines I just do steep decline sit ups (real steep...maybe 150-160 degrees from 12 o'clock)...dip station leg raiseS....and then knee raises.

What's the point of doing that many reps of any exercise tho? Isn't it counterproductive?
and @Kasino416 how are you cooking these meats and sweet potatoes bruh?

Would you say 10lbs of fat loss is highly noticeable for someone that's already relatively lean (i.e. 15% bf)?

I do about 3-4 different ones. 300 is nothing, mind you I've been doing it for a while, you learn over time, gets easier. 4 sets rope pull downs (25 reps), 4 sets of weighted oblique extensions (2 sets per side, 15 reps each). 4 sets of machine crunches (25 each). and hanging leg raises, 4 sets of 10-12 reps. You dont necessarily have to do abs daily, but i like to in order to keep my core tight.

For sure, ten lbs, especially pure fat, is highly noticable. 15% bf isnt relatively lean at all bruh. Once you get to 10%, youre talking lean. 8-10 is ripped, 8 under is shredded status.

Yes, I work them in between my lifts. E.g. chest day. Ill start flat bench 4 sets, then triceps (skull crushers), then 100 ab reps. Then incline dumbell press, then tricep rope or bar pull downs, then another 100 reps, then chest cable fly's then another tricep exercise, then bang out the last 100. hit decline bench, another tricep exercise (maybe weighted dips), then im done. Play a bit of basketball if theres a nice run going on, or do some low intensity cardio to warm down. This can all be done in 1 - 1.5 hrs tops if you arent focused and not being too social.

Do you prep asparagus for several days at a time? How do you usually cook it?

I'd like to be able to make some for 3-4 days at a time, but it ends up wilted and kinda meh by the end of it...

No, it actually builds muscle and increases vascularity (especially if its a cable exercise). For biceps ill do some bar or cable curls, go to 15 reps, 4 sets, by the end your veins will be popping out your biceps, try it. Its all about form. Going 4-6 reps and being an ego lifter does nothing for your physique. If you want to get "big" this could possibly work, although I doubt it. Being ripped is all about being aesthetic, which means you have to target certain muscle groups, and hit them hard. Doing 4 rips isnt hitting anything hard. Try to incorporate cable exercises into your workouts and go til failure.

Honestly, I stopped prepping meals so far in advance, it tastes terrible after sitting in the fridge, I try not to go more than 2 days worth of cooked food.
Asparagus, I usually steam it, but when I have more time, I just discovered an amazing way to fry it:
Take a frying pan, pray it with pam.
Throw the asparagus in, throw in some finely chopped garlic, throw in some Ms. Dash seasoning and some cajun clubhouse spice (chilli flakes will do as well), about a table spoon of olive oil (healthy fat), and some ground black pepper. And just use a spatula and move it around in the pan til it gets nice and juicy (shouldnt take more than 5-7 mins). It takes amazing, nice and crispy, and the spices make it taste amazing. Alot of times with the steamer, it comes out soggy and mushy, but its all about the gains!

I'm shaped damn near exactly like this, with bigger shoulders and love handles. I'm 6'2, 222lbs. Never worked my legs, no gluts or back muscles, use to have a 6 pk 10yrs ago, before I knew how popular there were. I just experienced a back injured last week playing basketball. Doctor said I need to work on my core. My back is slowly recovering. I was about 190lb for the longest. Starting lifting and eating a few years ago and shot up the 220. I want to get back down to like 205. I want to make my legs, core, butt and abs stronger. I want to start of slow because of my lower back issue . Help me please

As I suggest with everyone, incorporate a high protein diet to build muscle. Lets say you're 20% BF, this means you carry 44lbs of fat (222-44 = 176, round to 180) this is the min amount of protein you should be getting on a daily basis to maintain your muscle mass. In doing this, while lifting heavy and following a clean diet as laid out throughout this thread, your body will shed fat, while maintaining the muscle. Once you start dropping in bf, the muscle will be more pronounced, which will in turn make you look bigger/more cut/muscular.
