Is getting ab lean worth it? Or would rather embrace the bulked look? 🔽
At 36 lbs down, I'm feeling great but realizing it's gonna take quite a bit more to lose the belly fat I've carried since childhood, even if I'm not going for a 6 pack. Your "before" video at 205 lbs is SEXY AF and closer to my ideal size, but at 203 I still don't look like that. Goes to show it's all relative and our bodies are unique, and it really is an experiment to see what you like on yourself. I'm at that in between stage, and I'm going to keep going to see what happens, not giving up now! Thank you for all your continued support and always keeping it real, brother!
You're crushing it, Pauly :)
Sometimes it takes a few different pushes to get where you want to go, too.
Maybe we do a muscle gain diet together, after you get as lean as you want? You have the right attitude - 'let's see how it goes / it's all an experiment'.
Thanks for watching!!
I get abs but unfortunately my face ends looking like death 😂
I have that face right now lmao
I got down to 15% body fat and then I started lean bulking. Just had a dexa scan and I’m now down to 13%. I lost 1kg of fat and gained 2kg of muscle whilst ‘bulking’. I do weight training 5 days a week and eat loads of protein but I think the key for keeping off (or even losing) fat on a bulk is loads of very low intensity cardio
Solid progress Jon! Keep up the great work and thanks for watching 🙏
@@MatteoMarra3 thanks matteo. I’m 46 by the way so if I can do it then anyone can. Just have to learn to love the process
last place to lose weight is the belly, thats why face looks frail. Its important to eat heathy food and maintain proper portion of protein, fiber and less carbs. I am not heavy but never had abs, did a smei-keto diet and just ate heathy and now I have noticeable abs and flat stomach and didnt lose much on the face, took a good 3 months. You can do it, but it takes dedication, no fast and easy approach
Good work, dude! The face gets lean because you lose face fat, too!
I get a nice jawline when I'm super lean 😂
I’m on the “x-pak” journey right now. I’m 61 and fit after decades of consistent weight lifting and competitive cycling I don’t really have a long way to go but it isn’t easy. This guy is telling the truth, the truth you won’t find in a massive sea of “how I got six pak abs” vids on you tube. If you want to maintain most of your lean mass it can take months to see any progress and in my case, my face gets so lean I can be described as gaunt. I’m going to continue because I always experiment with food and physical activity but I think I already know I feel better and perform better with a higher level of body fat. Just one thing: I drop the F bomb myself on occasion but in a really good video the word “fuck” was relied on too heavily as a sentence enhancer. For me it kinda reduces that quality of the product from a 10 to an 8. Cheers.
Great to hear from you Mike - thanks for watching, and sharing your feedback!
This video is the most informative thing i‘ve ever seen on youtube. I myself dieted down to Ab lean and i can only confirm everything he said. Especially the part about the false total weight loss expectations. If you think you need to lose 20 lbs to get lean, trust me you probably need to lose double that. Also the diet Phases and break are extremely important because trying to lose the weight all at once is very counterproductive and you‘ll end up regaining it back.
Thanks for your comment dude - if you've been there, you know that what I'm saying is true!
Appreciate you watching :)
I have had a 4 pack for months, but this 6 pack is taking up a lot more effort than I thought.
Yeah, it's definitely a lot of work!
Thank you for watching, Vaibhav :)
I think that especially the last part should be listened to by guys with body dysmorphia or someone who has never been this thin. Thanks for the good material!
👊
100% agree - thanks for watching :)
Makes perfect sense. Thank you.
Happy to help! Thank you for watching :)
youre a good speaker, subbed!
Appreciate that - thanks for being here, Moti :)
rly nice video, subscribed and liked, thank you!
Awesome! Thanks for watching :)
First video I found of yours. Great advice
Right on - thanks for watching JJ! Plenty more coming your way.
what some people forget is that abs are muscles i have like prob 20-25% body fat and my abs still poke through a small amount like a four pack you dont need to have a 6-10% body fat percentage just grow them
This is a very important understanding!!
Thanks for watching:)
if your abs poke at 20-25 percent wich i have seen it before you have amazing genetics it has almost nothing to do with training with respect!
@@suprementmgr3586 genetics always play a role, no matter what.
That's why it's important to focus on the things you CAN control :)
No it just means he has big abs. Have you ever seen strongmen.@@suprementmgr3586
I once thought that getting to 185 at 6ft tall would get me lean. Lowest I got years ago was 180 and I still wasn’t even that defined. Kinda black pilling to understand that it takes so much more than you think. Going down in weight again and I’m hoping 175lbs will yield some definition this time.
FYI I have decent muscle mass but it’s very moderate.
Great work on your progress!
In my experience, it can take a few pushes to really get yourself as lean as you want to be. Sometimes, it pays to bulk and gain more muscle before you try dieting again!
Thanks for watching :)
It's cold in Canada without that 'winter jacket'
🤣this is absolutely true
Your videos Is so great🔥🦾
How Long will it take with 25 % bodyfat?
Thanks dude - appreciate you!
Check out this video to calculate how long it will take you ua-cam.com/video/DKAKo7kkjrg/v-deo.html
My fat distribution seems to be quite fucked as i have literal stripes/striations on my shoulders and legs but i dont have abs...atleast not really well visible ones...
Dude!! Did you watch the video I released yesterday on how to grow your abs?

When I was a wrestler with 9% body fat, I still couldn't see my abs :/. A four pack if I flexed, but that was it
Hey Alastair - it's more likely that you weren't really 9% body fat, because you would likely have SUPER defined abs at that body fat percentage.
Otherwise, maybe they just need to be developed some more!
Thanks for watching :)
i've seen people get ab lean but their faces look like they've ages another 20 years. scary stuff. i chalk that up to them dieting and going too long and getting a vitamin deficiency but hotdamn it aint pretty.
What you're seeing is just fat reduction in the face!
Hollow eye look effect due to face fat lose.
@arodderz exactly!
If you want great abs, pick your parents very carefully
Lmao. But also, the idea that abs are just genetic is a common misconception Dennis!
I cover that in my most recent video. Thank you for watching :)
Please please please, work your abs with the same vigor and progressive overload as you'd do any other muscle. I don't care if you are on a year/ two year long bulk and won't ever see them in that duration, you will thank yourself once you cut.
Very important point here!
I just posted a video about how to build bigger abs to make them pop later.
Thanks for watching and bringing this up Kevin :)
genetics are way more important than credited in this video. Don't go for abs, just go for what looks good on the rest of you. I had more abs at 20% bf than this dude but everything looked very subpar. Great video though.
Of course genetics are important - but there's nothing you can do about them, right?
You had veins on your abs at 20% body fat?
I appreciate you watching the video! :)
@@MatteoMarra3 very true, i didn't have veins on abs when i was 20%, i do have now though. I was one of the people who thought "what's the point of cutting down if i can't maintain". Turns out it is in fact as you said pretty easy.
More anxiety and low testosterone
that sounds rough
