Hey guys Im pretty new here so let me start of just saying Im 24, 6'1 196lbs.
Im working on getting to just around 205-210. As you can see in the pic I dont have really any abs. How often do I need to work out my abs and should it be before or after my lifting? Is Cardio a must? I dont want to lose weight by doing too much cardio. As far as eating goes, I stay away from soda, and limit sugars and salt. I eat lots of chicken and sweet potatoes. Cereal in the morning and a redline drink during workouts. I just dont understand why my stomach has a saggy look and about 4 rolls when i sit down. Advice appreciated!

Cardio is a must. Other wise your gonna end up bulking too much with excess fat.In the end its just gonna make your cutting phase that much harder.20 min. after your done lifting should be good for right now.Dont over train your abs either 3,4 times a week at most.Dont wanna get a blocky stomach
