yes it does sound simple because it is but most new guys don't understand. Ive ran into countless people that come up to me and ask me "whats the best ab excersise?". I tell them abs don't come from any special ab excersise, if you want abs then eat clean and of course get your ass in the gym. Then I tell them "eat good to look good, eat crap to look like crap". Usually these are the retards that consistantly drink soda and eat fast food or think their footlong sub on white cheese bread with only/extra bacon, cheese, ranch is healthy because it comes from subway. Diet is key to success.
