quick update, looked better today, was a bit flat last week and looked shitty, upper body chest and shoulders quite defined, legs coming through, still got my normal bit of fat around my abs and low back, always last to come off these days, never used to be, was always glutes in the past.
there is truth in that the creation of fat cells in an area always come back once they have been there, I never had fat on my abs until I stopped training in the late 90s, once its on it never really goes away permanently.
