Re: thick midsections
I dont know, my personal opinion is that it doesnt look bad. It may be misleading with a shirt on im sure. I personally am the same way, even in mid summer after cutting my abs show very well yet im still wearing a 36 inch waist (to be comfortable) although I do wear loose fitting pants. I think it has alot to do with genetics as well.
Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishments.
What lies before me and what lies ahead of me are small compared to what lies within me.
