176. I want abs & this is how I am making it happen.
If you’re training consistently but still struggling to see more ab definition, build a stronger core or figure out what you actually need to change with your nutrition and training, this video is for you.
I’m officially entering my strong core + ab definition era, and I’m taking you behind the scenes of exactly how I’m approaching it WITHOUT extreme dieting, cutting carbs or spending months in a restrictive calorie deficit.
After coming back from holidays, I realised I’d been feeling a little flat and disconnected from my fitness goals. So I sat down, got honest about what I actually want, and created a new game plan: build my core muscles first, then reveal more definition later.
In this vlog, I’m sharing my current physique and starting point, my updated core training program, why I’ve increased my weekly ab training volume, how I structure my full-body workouts and what my nutrition looks like while eating around maintenance and focusing on performance.
We also chat about:
✨ How I’m training for stronger, more defined abs
✨ Why I’m focusing on building muscle before doing a mini cut
✨ My current core training volume and exercise structure
✨ Full-body strength training and progressive overload
✨ Eating at maintenance calories while improving body composition
✨ How much protein I’m aiming for each day
✨ Why I’m NOT cutting carbs or aggressively restricting food
✨ Meal prep, consistency and making nutrition easier
✨ Tracking progress through strength, photos and body weight
✨ Building a toned waist and stronger core in a sustainable way
My goal over the next few months is to focus on core strength, muscle growth and performance, while continuing to fuel my body properly. Then, closer to summer, I’ll move into a short mini cut to reveal some of the muscle we’ve spent this time building.
If you’re working towards visible abs, a toned stomach, a stronger core or body recomposition, but you want to do it without extreme diets or obsessively tracking every calorie, follow along with this series. I’ll be documenting the entire journey and showing you what I’m changing with my workouts, nutrition and habits along the way.
Welcome to snatched waist in the making 💪
