Episode notes
Prioritize Diet Over Cardio
- Eat to get lean by creating a calorie deficit rather than relying on exercise alone.
- Avoid heavily processed foods and prioritize hitting target body weight and grams of protein early in the day.
Build Abs With Heavy Resistance
- Build abdominal muscles with sufficient resistance, not endless high-rep crunches.
- Train abs like other muscles using 8–15 reps with full range and tension to create visible sculpting.
Muscle Size Makes Abs Visible
- Treat abs like any other muscle; building size makes them visible at higher body fat percentages.
- Sal and Justin both saw major aesthetic change when they shifted to higher-tension, lower-rep ab training.
