Is too much ab work possible?
How legit do you think this article is, in terms of too much direct ab and oblique work contributing to a thicker-looking midsection? https://www.t-nation.com/training/sexy-female-training I'm thinking you'd have to do a WAY higher than average volume of ab work to have this issue, but I'm just curious.

Hi there! Looking for some friends :-)
Hi everyone! I've been a lurker on here for a few months. Lost 9 lbs so far and I'm pretty impressed. I'm 5'3", 135lbs and looking to get down to around 120-125. I'm also a little wobbly, so I'm working on incorporating some strength training to tone up a bit. I'm good with cardio, but I need to branch out. I'd love some…
