Fat loss comes off from the entire body, which you do through caloric deficit, through eating less, moving more, or any combination thereof.

But also through recomping, because if you gain five pounds, if you weigh...

200 pounds and you gain 10 pounds of muscle, lose 10 pounds of fat, you know, you've just lost 10 pounds of fat.

You're, you're, um, 5% less body fat levels.

You're going to have less fat, you know, like, so it's through, you can do it through, like, that's not to say you shouldn't ever train your abs.

It's just to say that your abs tend to look the best when you're, you're leanest, not when you're training your abs the most.

Yeah.

So theoretically, it doesn't just depend on the hips.

It depends on how the femur... Because I wrote about this in my book.

I just think people get like, should you train differently for your glute genetics?

Maybe if you feel like you're kind of like a...

Well, I would say if you tend to get beat up with your low back, then hang.

Do static hangs or even hopefully you progress to one-arm hangs where you can kind of do one-arm hangs where you brace yourself on the – use the non-working arm to hold yourself in position.

But if your low back is stellar, then you can do shrugs.

You can do farmer's walks.

Walking is kind of hard at a gym to do, just walking around with the dumbbells, but you could just stand in place and you could do shrugs.

When you can't do any more shrug, you just hold it for time.

You could also just hold the last rep of your last set of deadlifts for time.

All those things help out.

They all add up to improving your grip strength.
