The lower abdomen area and it's not going anywhere unless I have surgery to remove it. I have been working out too- am seeing a difference in my arms and legs- but I think my stomack is going to be like yours. 1 Dtrain84 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vikingbeast 987 Posted October 10, 2021 This is my goal. I was a strongman before and while I don't anticipate that's going to be part of my life any longer, I do love being strong. Can't wait till I can touch a barbell again. Two and a half more weeks... two and a half more weeks... argh! 2 Dtrain84 and Jaye W reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Two and a half more weeks... two and a half more weeks... argh! I don't lift heavy weights. I lift manageable weights with high repetitions until failure. Whatever muscle group I'm working, I give it 48hrs before I work that muscle group again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Whatever muscle group I'm working, I give it 48hrs before I work that muscle group again. I do both... lighter weights for more reps for time under load for size and endurance, and heavy weights for raw strength. I'm with you on not overstressing the muscle groups. I won't even do front squats and back squats without three days in between. You look fantastic. #goals Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
