My main goal right now is to get a stomach that is ripped like the pro-bodybuilders. Any advice?
Zone is not so good for this. To bodybuilder, as I understand it, you must eat more protein and lift weights to the max. Training stimulates Human Growth Hormone which will utilize extra protein especially within 20 minutes after training. Be sure to hit this window. Scrunch scrunch scrunch!
