      how often for abs?

      -Abs are made in the kitchen (srs)
      -One day a week or seven days a week is okay
      -Haven't done abs in about a year and they're still clearly visible/more visible than last years cut.

      Also, "toning" is necessarily the correct term to use, but if you want more defined obliques than I would suggest doing oblique exercises like side raises, mason twists, and any other exercise that targets that area (can't think of many off the top of my head).

      You could bump up to 2-3 times a week and do fine. Don't overwork them but you can do them more than some other muslce groups.

      Honestly, I feel like your core is something you can almost train everyday. Maybe not EVERYday, but quite a bit. You could hit abs pretty hard every other day, depending on now you recover and how it feels. Up to you

      I don't do bulk/cut cycles. when ever I want to gain weight I increase my protein intake and take a little extra carbs. I avoid saturated fats in any form. Its natural the more lean I get the more ripped i look
