He was clearly a pro (seriously.. had the bod of Hercules) and we didn't speak the same language, but he came over and showed me the proper way to move my arms during a lift. I super appreciated the help and he was very excited that I was receptive and started using the proper form - and I could...

@annieinsight This is going to be a weird question, but are you SURE it's belly fat? Did your doctor mention any potential gastrointestinal issues?
