gotten through just the exercise it's always about nutrition it's always nutrition determines body fat levels above everything else now when you get lean enough if you're not doing any type of uh ab training you'll probably have less defined abs because you won't have the development of that muscle there's nothing different about the abdominals and the biceps or the quads there's still muscles that can be developed and because of the anatomy of the abs

there's that line down the middle in the tacks, right? That's just caused by a suturing down of something called the linea alba. It's just a tendinous sheath. When you develop the muscles themselves through either crunches or resistance training, right? Even weighted ab work is helpful in this case. The muscles are just growing just like a bicep would grow.

And as they grow, you can't change the suturing down of the tendinous sheath. So they're sort of growing out more prominently from that area. So you get more visible abs. But that's the only way to really do that is through... training to hypertrophy the abs, but you're not going to get there if you don't first attack the body fat that's over them. And that's only going to come from nutrition.

What is that? I mean, that's usually the anabolic steroid use that causes that or growth hormone. That doesn't generally come from natural occurrences where your belly gets so bloated like that. I mean, sometimes if you have different types of hernias, you can get hernias actually within the abdomen, not just in the inguinal, you know, in the groin area.

That could cause some of that distension in the abs, but not that global bloating that you get there. That's really usually a telltale sign of like growth hormone use, something that they've abused that causes the organs underneath to actually grow and cause distension pushing out of the belly.

Yeah, it's actually a pretty disturbing visual when you think about it. But it's certainly not a healthy thing to have. And there's always a lot of repercussions to going down that path. They might look short-term.

way they want to look and i would argue that even in those cases you know the the the large super large mr olympia look i don't even know if that was ever aesthetically appealing to me or even a lot of people but um it it definitely leaves behind a lot of a lot of damage

yeah i mean i think it look at trt is becoming such a prevalent path for people i don't like that that's the prevalent path i don't want to come across as somebody who is anti-trt because i've been i've been reminded of that and that on some of the videos i've made about it that look jeff there's a lot of cases where people have extremely bottomed out testosterone levels and there's nothing medically that can be done other than replace the testosterone that's not being made

I completely appreciate that. But as you've noted, the rise in interest in TRT is coming from a lot of the documentation of people talking about their use of it and how it's physically changing them. And they're doing it at a rate... It's becoming option one. What about maximizing your natural potential first before...

declaring yourself as low testosterone even at levels like of 400 and 500 and then going and using testosterone like you're going to be on that for the rest of your life if you pursue that path you know once you decide to replace your body's own natural testosterone level with exogenous testosterone you're going to have to rely on that for the rest of your life now some people can get off of that and then try to restore their body's ability to produce testosterone but that's not a given so be prepared that once you go down that path that's when you're going to have to be on for the rest of your life
