>That last piece of abdominal fat that just won't go away
>>74112268That's your bread, your spices, your sweet treats.
>>74112268It's not dude. You have like 10-15 lbs left to lose you just didn't realize it until now.
>>74112268It's the only reason I've stopped drinking. Never had a problem with alcohol but it simply makes it impossibly hard to stay lean.
>>74112268For me it's facial fat. Even when I'm lean enough to have a 4pack, I'll have a double chin. I need to cut hard to have it go away.
>>74112268Makes me wanna run into a wall
>>74112268It means you don't train your core enough.>He fell for the "spot reduction isn't real" meme.
>>74112460i have the opposite, my face went gaunt at like 18%
>>74112427Couldn't have said it better. One bottle down is worth about 10 fork downs.
>>74112268It's not fat it's inflammation.Pinch it, it's cellular inflammation, it's soft. Pinch your love handles, it's fat, it's hard.Do nocarbs for a few weeks, you will lose the water inflammation.
I'm 56 kilograms, no idea why I have a fat gutIf I flex my abs, I can feel them, they're hardif I'm not flexing, it's all blubberthere's something beneath the abs, shit's driving me insane
>>74112661Beneath the abs? It's visceral fat.
>>74112669Should I do cardio daily?I have no idea what to do, anons told me to bulk and work out, so I'm doing thatHow the fuck am I fat at 18 BMI, this shit really bothers me
>>74112698What does cardio has to do with anything?Stop eating like shit/drinking alcohol and be physically (muscular) active. Your BMI is irrelevant.
>>74112661>>74112698You sound skinnyfat and unhealthy.What's your diet, what's your sport routine?
>>74112747I eat carbs and protein, don't drink or smokeguess I need to be more active>What does cardio has to do with anything?Being active and burning calories? I don't know man, I'm new to this>>74112750>diet90-110 grams of protein, I don't really count calories, eat twice a day, about 1 chicken breast, 2-3 eggs a day + rice/potatoes/spaghetti, I'd imagine about 1500 calories a day, but I've been upping my intake, I eat at my grandma's>routineStarted a month ago, used to be very sedentary5x5 stronglifts 3 times a weekI don't really move other than that, I'm a software dev working from home, guess I should go on daily walksFuck, I think that's it
>>74112460me too bro
>>74112784>90-110 grams of proteinProtein is fine>I'd imagine about 1500 calories a dayThat sounds low. Has your weight actually been going up or are you staying the same?>5x5 stronglifts 3 times a weekAssuming that you're talking about this:https://stronglifts.com/stronglifts-5x5/workout-program/That seems like a fine routine that will get you long term results. There's no specific ab training there though so if you wanted abs faster you should add some training for those specifically.>I don't really move other than thatCardio would make you healthier and help you eat more but it sounds like you're already having trouble eating enough food as it is.Are the strength workouts enough for you to consistently get tired/sore on your rest days? If not you should probably add some more exercises and maybe another workout day a week. If there are specific muscles you want to get big faster then you should add some isolation movements for those muscles.>>74112698>Should I do cardio daily?If you want to gain muscle, you should try avoiding intense cardio on your lift days if you can.Light cardio like walking is good to do every day if you're losing weight, but you probably want to gain.Doing it on your non-lift days will make you fitter but not necessarily more jacked.
>>74112836Thanks a lot for the advice, anon.>Has your weight actually been going up or are you staying the same?It went up slowly, I weighed 50 kilos.>https://stronglifts.com/stronglifts-5x5/workout-program/Yeah, that's the routine.>Are the strength workouts enough for you to consistently get tired/sore on your rest days?Yes, I've been incrementing the weights. I don't get sore anymore, though, even though the weights are getting harder to lift.>sounds like you're already having trouble eating enough food as it isYeah, I need to eat more, just not used to eating in large quantities.>you should try avoiding intense cardio on your lift daysNoted, thanks.
>>74112892>It went up slowly, I weighed 50 kilos.A month ago?>Yeah, I need to eat more, just not used to eating in large quantities.If you're weight's going up by about 0.5kg/week then you're doing fine. More than that and you get slightly more muscle and a lot more fat (so you need to cut more often).1500 sounds low but if you're gaining weight then it's the right amount for you.>Yes, I've been incrementing the weights. I don't get sore anymore, though, even though the weights are getting harder to lift.That's fairly typical. If you feel like you can do it then either adding more sets, more days or more exercises can help you progress faster. Otherwise if you're happy with your progress you can just keep doing what you're doing.
>>74113031It's been a month since I started going to an actual gym.I started with calisthenics and 5-10 liter water bottles at home a month or so before that. 1500 does seem pretty low, but I can't eat too much without wanting to vomit, so I've been upping my intake slowly.Thanks bro, I'll add more exercises.
>>74113061Sounds like you're already in a pretty good place then, the only other ingredient is time.Good luck with your gains bro
>>74113088thank you
Is it normal to have a huge gut after eating? Looks dysgenic as fuck
>>74112427>gained like 15lbs after drinking heavy for like a month>redeveloped the sitting stomach pouch>want to rip the fucking thing off >will be back to normal in 1-1.5 monthsFuck the cock smoking mallet who told me I was overreacting to being sober.
>>74112427>>74113682>don't drink, still have all my body fat concentrated on the lower abssucks, my body will pull fat from everywhere else before that fat pouch.
>>74112629So it's true that carbs are the devil?
how do I target lower belly fat?
>>74114439tummy tuck
>>74114439you mean the fupa
>>74112268For me it's upper arm fat, specifically in the tricep area. No matter how much I lift or cut I look fat there.
>>74114053They cause inflammation. You might care about it, or not.
>>74114583>inflammationNTA but what kind of inflammation? Like IBS? Do they make you bloat or something?
>>74114581Same..
