If you could give one or two pieces of advice to help tone that middle, what would they be? Thanks in advance!
okay, well idek if i qualify for advising you - no sixpack and i don't care for that look so i'm not chasing them too hard either. but i weigh 135ish at 5'3", and i don't have to do very much to make it obvious that i have obliques.
so if that's worth anything, i think it's mostly from doing overhead press and front squats. pullups and chins would be my choice for the rectus abdominus part - i've only ever worked on the negatives but they've always hit me there much harder than planks every did.

Eat at deficit until desired bf.
I tend to stay lean no matter what. I don't really target them, but compound lifts like squat, bench, dead, ohp do hit them pretty good. Especially if beltless.0 -
