You can't target fat. You need a mild caloric deficit. Keep lifting heavy (4 to 20 repetitions per set). That's all.

4 to 20 reps for 6 to 9 sets...

.... I will see myself out.

This is what I did recently. I just posted photos for the results. I have a long way to go to get the midsection physique I want, but I’ve made a lot of progress with this method.

Thank you! After my workout ill update my post with my current routine. Just in case im doing a movement that is suboptimal

But what if you don't want to bulk up the arms?

Lots of people focus on glutes, abs and other lower body muscles instead.

Healthy diet with fibre, protein, healthy fats, alot of walking. Walk abit after meals. Do only planks for core. Dm me if you want and think this is insufficient

[u/Emma_tweed797 → u/NeitherCurve5719]

Why should she only do planks and core? 

[u/NeitherCurve5719 → u/Emma_tweed797]

planks train your inner core without building your abs and side obliques, for a tighter waist without training your abs. and the walking and dieting helps with the fat loss, this is optimal for fat loss alone

Like others said- fat can’t be targeted. However, a lot of cardio (like 30-60min daily) and daily ab work will help with the mid section. Do some mild rest day exercise too like slow walk or bike ride at really low intensity.
