broom twists
another member here long ago clued me into this
very slow, mind muscle, breathing.
sometimes finish with vacums with the broom up.
Very low carb diets burn more visceral fat compared to low fat diets. Suppversity just posted a good read on it
Thats the thing... you stated the answers.. those other things mentioned make small differences.... now dont get me wrong...to a high level competitor even small differences can make BIG differences onstage..but you nailed em all.. with fat loss of course trumping all..... my midsection which sucks genetically by the way (not pretty abs) was the tightest when my bodyfat was the lowest... trust me, being a physique guy having your midsection as tight as a top is a must.... getting my bf the lowest i could got me there... btw i wore 29s onstage..
I'd estimate, 10 percent at 33.5 inches. Very good post. The issue, the large volume foods (veggies, chicken, peaches) keep us full and allow us to eat fewer calories and get that low bodyfat. A true double edged sword lol.
Any thoughts on colon cleanse? I used to hear how we have all this meat stuck in our colon, but after research, it seems the online consensus is that is false. Colon cleanse will not shrink our waist and we do not have undigested food sitting in there.

Like @b-boy said, you're looking for solutions everywhere except just dieting harder and suffering.
I had multiple days on my last diet were I consumed 950 - 1,050 calories at a shredded 220-230lbs. - I know you haven't suffered like that. If you had, you'd have the tight midsection you're after.
Small waists and tight midsections come from low body fat, not supplements, cleanses, special exercises, etc.
agree on all points for the most part. id like to nail down volume for abs see if that helps. right now im doin 3x a week abs after training, 4 sets each time. then on my other 2 workout days, vacuume. ive
What was your lowest average intake? Recently I did calorie cycling it was hell but 500/500/3500, so 1500 average per day and it was hell. Large volume food. Eventually the fatigue, mental effects were bad. But you are correct and I agree, dieting and suffering is the best way , just looking for other things to assist. Thank god for coffee when dropping under 2k average per day.
rds, do you remember which podcast it was? i'd be interested in hearing itBen Pakulski spoke a little about his midsection on a podcast I listened to recently. I forget which one of I would link to it. He said from cadaver studies he’s done, the actual rectus abdominus (spelled that wrong, probably) never gets thicker than about half an inch even in really big dudes, so it’s unlikely that your an training is the culprit when it comes to a distended midsection.
Not saying he’s right, necessarily, just that it’s an interesting perspective. He seemed to think it was more to do with your transverse abdominus and food volume in general.
I think to stay away from barbell squats and dead’s as you main mass movements. I still do them, but they are LAST in my routine. I want my LEGs to be extremely fatigued to keep total loading down on toso. Say you squat first and do two working sets of 405 then a back off set of 355. If you squat LAST your work sets might be 355 then 315.
