Ronnie Coleman is famous for saying “Everybody wants to be a bodybuilder, but don't nobody want to lift no heavy-a** weights.”
Just as true is "Everybody wants to be lean and have definition but nobody wants to eat at a deficit."14 -

Yes.
You can't exercise fat, it's just a fuel store and you don't get to choose where you body will take it from when you are in an energy deficit anymore than you can choose to use fuel from the top right hand side of your car's fuel tank!
You can target certain muscles of course (which may not be a great training plan...) but that's not going to remove the fat over those particular muscles.
True... but I'm looking to build muscle in those areas first... muscle burns fat for sure tho...
Well... my body has made great changes so far... I'm not looking to lose weight I just want to gain muscle. My methods show proof, I'm just looking for advice for this specific thing, but if I don't hear anything im,interested in, I'm just going to continue doing what im doing. Lol.
You asked for advice not affirmation of completely inaccurate ideas about human physiology.
And please completely eliminate diet as an advice option.
BUT I don't diet tho... I never said anything about dieting...lol.
You said you don't diet. To get leaner abs and inner thighs, you need to diet. Mexican stand-off.
You're right I guess.... but I don't do salads and shyt... just meat and veggies. Little fruit here and there
you don't have to eat salad to diet, just eat fewer calories than you burn. to find out if you're doing that, you're going to have to track calories somehow.10 -

I don't do salads and *kitten*, either. (Unless I really want a salad.
) I just make sure I'm eating fewer calories per day than my body uses. This usually includes ice cream, chocolate or candy every night.
I maintain my weight on about 2300 calories. So, I shoot for about 2000 calories a day to lose weight.10 -

My point is you asked for advice and you got advice from people who have bothered to educate themselves. Completely up to you if you want to hold on to your beliefs or question those beliefs.

Ok well forget the word "diet" then... you have to eat less than you burn(eat in a deficit) .. you don't have to eat salads, eat the foods you love (maybe cut down the portions, go easy on the sauces, cheeses oils, etc), get adequate protein and nutrients... done.6 -
Ronnie Coleman is famous for saying “Everybody wants to be a bodybuilder, but don't nobody want to lift no heavy-a** weights.”
Just as true is "Everybody wants to be lean and have definition but nobody wants to eat at a deficit."
Well... I've been doing the bulk n cut method for about 3 years now... I kinda want to try something a little different. Not too much... but slightly... and I just want some new workouts to build that muscle in my abs and inner thighs before I think about cutting really... I know I'm almost there... I just want to make my stomach MUSCLES permanent and my inner thighs flawless along with the minor back fat... I mean...
I guess I just hate the idea of dieting when I lost 60lbs in 4 months without it... I just go hard and put in the work. Also... i,don't even like to call it "dieting" I just kinda like to try to eat according to my physical goals... lol.8 -

See... I've tried to count calories with this app about 4 years back... I just couldn't do it anymore and I ended up,losing weight and building muscle anyway... but I'm thinking I need to start counting... I just need to wrap my mind around it. It seems a bit difficult. So I feel like working out on am empty stomach helps me faster... lol.7 -

Call it cutting instead of dieting - two words that both mean calorie deficit.
If you don't like calorie deficit - call it energy deficit.9 -

I think this is a great way to put it. Your current physical goals require you eat a few less calories per day than your body uses, maybe 250 calories or so.10 -

The other thing you can do is arrange your schedule so that you are able to sleep about 12 hours each night. That will give you less time to eat, more time for recovery, and will be good for your stress hormones. Less painful that dieting, probably inconvenient if you have friends or family.6

So true ...
#1 exercise for getting lean/cut - body weight horizontal triceps extensions1 -
Dieting/cutting doesn't require salads. I like referring to my 1 lb ribeye as "diet food" to annoy my wife.2

That is 250 calories LESS than maintenance. Do you know how many calories you need per day to maintain your current weight?
Go here - http://scoobysworkshop.com/calorie-calculator/
Calculate your TDEE (maintenance calories). Subtract 250 calories from that number. Eat that many calories per day.5 -

250 calories below your maintenance. So if you maintain at 2200 calories (pulling a number out of thin air), eat 1950/day.2 -
