I started at 150 no muscle what so ever in april. Bulked up to 160 with preworkout, 100g protein a day, and creatine.

Cut back down to 150 all muscle on a strict diet of Oatmeal for breakfast. PBJ and a banana for lunch, and a grill chicken salad for dinner straight for like 3 months.

Now I dont take anything as far as powders or shakes I just lift 6days a week.

First off breh. You have a nice physique (no homo). I haven't been in the gym for 6 months now and I plan on starting fresh next week. I have a few questions.

1. What exercises you do for your abs?

2. When you bulk and went on cut. What kind of workout you do for cutting? I know how to bulk but not cut. Going to bulk up first.

3. Any chest advice?

Abs man so many exercises decline situps is my main exercise though, oblique twist, hanging leg raises and knee raises. Crunches for upper abs etc I follow Athlean X on youtube he has the look I'm going for. He also has an app called 6 pack I used to use when starting out.

My routine never changed it's as my muscle endurance increased I found myself exercising between sets...supersetting constantly. Like if I bench instead of sitting there for 3 mins waiting I would do some situps then back to bench for next set. I do that with everything. Diet is the key to cutting

As far as chest pushups is the key to building your chest and have it sit out. I do em everyday regular, hands by sides, diamonds, wide etc. I use a app called 100 pushups it's free and it helped me increase my numbers.

I think all the extra hot, hot sauce that ive been adding to my diet is giving my metabolism a boost, is there any scientific merit to this brehs?

Capsaicin, the active agent in peppers that give it their hot, irritant sensation has been linked with temporary boosts in metabolism after consumption.

So you may have a claim :manny:

The Claim: Spicy Foods Increase Metabolism
