Core exercises?

Ab training doesn't specifically burn belly fat. Spot reduction is impossible. Ab training really isn't necessary if you're doing squats and deadlifts which already work the core.

I do isolated ab exercises maybe once every two weeks and have a vascular 6 pack. It’s 99% dependent on b/f percentage.

Stick with doing the big-ass lifts every other day, like you have been, and keep your diet good. The belly will go away when you burn more calories than you eat, not from doing crunches.

You can add some crunches to your life and up your cardio if you're really that bored and have that much extra time, but if your time at the gym is limited and you find yourself choosing between squats, crunches, or jogging on a fucking treadmill, you know which one to do.

Honestly, getting to the point where your clothes fit well and you look like you work out is better than worrying about abs. A six-pack is fun and all, but she can't see it at the bar. And when she's back at your place and the clothes are coming off, the deal is already sealed.

Squat and Deadlift build your core

Diet chisels off fat

if you want to have a good stomach, you need to get meticulous about your diet. that's it. your basic core lifts are enough to train the entire area (squats/deadlifts specifically).

Best core exercises in my experience are ones you can easily do progressive overloads on. For me, weighted ab exercises are the way to go because you can just move up in weight rather than force yourself to progress from 25 to 100 crunches.

This video gives a pretty good summary of 4 weighted exercises: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6ZhQk20XcY&t=

I also incorporate unweighted ab exercises into my workout too but I saw my best ab gains once I started weighted exercises.

Start injecting EPO 100mg & Test cypionate 200mg twice a week. Do some research on hypertrophic core mobilisation exercises. Go from there.
