You learn not to overeat because I don’t practice vacuums. I don’t west a waist trainer. I don’t do none of that. I just train abs and focus on certain things that work.”

“I take a lot of digestion sh*t. I focus on foods I can eat abundance amount of an it doesn’t bloat me. I also think being in prep in a longer span of time versus in the offseason, your waist has no choice but to go down to some degree.”
