you should consider lifting breh.

cardio is effective at keeping off water weight but outside of that its not much on its own

lifting preserves muscle, and even if you lose nominal amounts of fat, it looks that much more when you preserve muscle

btw, yeah the 2pac version only...not that Jay-Z trash :childplease:

how does lifting weights get you a six pack? you mean doing chest and arms right? or doing machine weights for your stomach....does doing crunches help?

its simple really

when in a deficit of any kind, your body feeds on not only the fat you have...but the muscle too

muscle is easier to break down than fat...so especially when youre already skinny, youre much more likely to experience muscle loss

looks are two fold:

musculature
body fat %

the less musculature you have the less the effect of low body fat will be

double your gains by keeping what muscle you have by lifting..and if youre a novice possibly get both :ohlawd:

start deadlifting and squatting some serious weight, and as long as your diet is on point your ab game will improve something serious :ohlawd:

Make sure to get lots of protein in your meals so you stay full. If you don't get in your protein, you going to go ham on those calories
