How long have you been lifting: Since freshmen year of high school originally but diligently again for the past 8 months

Deadlift: 155
Squat: 135
Bench: 95
Pull-ups/chin ups (yes or no): Getting there!
Favorite arm move: Drop set cable curls (That will tear your sh&* up!!)

Do you do isolated ab workouts? If so, how often? Yes, but infrequently. Should be at least once a week but I'm averaging twice per month. I'll do planks and side planks more frequently than any other ab workouts, but occasionally you can find me doing bicycles, ball crunches, etc. Aside from that, I do a lot of compound movements that work my abs quite nicely
