Introduction

The User's Experience
Yammie97's weight journey saw him shed 26 lbs in just 12.5 weeks. His goal was to achieve visible abdominal muscles. However, at his height of 5'9, he questioned whether he should cut down to 130 lbs. He continued to work on his daily cardio and ab workout at least 5 days every week.
Genetics Plays a Role
Although some people may achieve defined muscles at a certain weight, genetics plays a significant role. This was the case for yammie97 and his body type where even if he lost more weight, there would be no definition without lifting some heavy weights. Hence, he focused on working on his diet and hitting the gym hard.
Seeking Advice
Yammie97 questioned why he couldn't see his abs despite being very strong. One user suggested he direct his question to a fitness subreddit. Seeking advice and support can be helpful in sticking to your fitness goals.
Conclusion
Yammie97's journey showed that visible results do not come quickly and that genetics do play a role. Every month, he noticed small differences that kept him motivated. To achieve your fitness goals, focus on working on your diet, and hit the gym hard. Seek advice and support from like-minded people. Try things out for yourself, and don't let genetics deter you from reaching your goals.
