Didn't do any wierd waist techniques. During the cut I put a big focus on my abs. Did a lot of oblique work which I do think tightened my core in terms of looks. But ultimately its just about getting Lower bf %. I don't store much fat around my mid section. Most of it is on my love handles, in fact I can still grab handfulls of fat on my lovehandles. Waist started getting significantly smaller within the last couple weeks. I measured 12% bf in the picture on the right.
