Hi all,

I am striving to slim down my core and bulk my chest.

Given my height and weight, people often think I’m thin as a rail. In reality, I carry a lot of excess weight in my midsection. My diet isn’t perfect, but it’s better than most of my peers who are considerably leaner. I have a semi active lifestyle (live in Chicago, walk a lot) and I eat a decent amount of fruits and vegetables. Have lean proteins regularly (salmon and chicken). My kryptonite is cereal and chocolate milk.

My weight peaked in college at 220-230. My senior year I down to 175 by running constantly, but never lost the belly fat. My rib cage is visible, but I still have stubborn pockets of fat. Never been big on lifting but trying to use this quarantine to start building. Been doing squats, lunges, push ups, and pull ups. Not doing any cardio at the moment because I’m focused on strength training and the cardio didn’t do anything for my belly fat.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated. I hate the beach, but goal is to be confident enough to go should I have the urge for some reason :).
