Workout Tips
His workout tips are here.
- Bench Press – “Ensure you go up in weight to build the chest muscles. The bench press can also work your abs.”
- Push-ups – “While push-ups are great for working your chest, they are incredibly good for your posture, assuming they’re performed correctly.”
- Weighted Squats – “These are great for the legs, glutes and abs. While ab-specific workouts are great for getting results, compound exercises, such as squats with a heavy weight, are great for building abs as well.”
- Weighted Russian Twists – “These help work and build definition in the obliques.”
