Thanks for your input but I do lift. Also, I couldn't careless about impressing random strangers over an internet forum. My post is directed toward the OP's question for the "gentlemen". He prefers to have a little hanging around while I hate my belly fat. I felt like posting a picture will give him a better idea since…

This is where I'm at right now: 166 lbs, 5'10, and around 13-14% BF (measured with the hand held machine so probably not at all accurate). Most of my fat hangs around my lower belly and I'm not happy at all. I would like to at least have both my abs and v-line to be visible. I'm gonna try to reach 10% and reevaluate from…

Whenever I start feeling sick, I just stop being sick and be awesome instead. True story :wink: All jokes aside, I just treat it like a normal day with the usual routine and diet unless I'm feeling a fever.

How's your form messed up? You can try to do assistance exercises like front squat, good morning, or glute ham raise.

Just my two cents. If you want to get better definition, you'll need to lower your body fat so you'll need to eat at a deficit. To maintain/minimizing the loss of your muscle while on the cut, consume sufficient protein and do strength training.

Getting your head in the right place. The weight will start falling off once you have the willpower to drag yourself off the bed into the gym and saying no to that free cookie at work. Mind over body.

It's bench press Monday (upper body day for me)! -barbell bench press -bent over barbell row -inclined dumbbell press -lat pull down - under hand grip -standing lateral raise -tricep press down - rope grip -standing dumbbell curl

I've never try to find out how long I can do plank for. My plank routine usually is: normal plank > left side plank > normal > right side plank > normal > repeat two more times. 30 seconds on each. So it's about 12 sets of 30 secs in a row with no rest. I fumble a bit but I try to keep the transition as smooth as possible.

Playing basketball. Weight lifting is a close second. I want to pick up boxing. I have been interested in it since like forever.

There's usually a stall for me. I went from 188 to 177 relatively quick and consistent. Then got stuck there for 3 weeks (even went up a pound). Finally broke through it and dropped to 175 the week after. The scale moved down steadily again then stuck at 170 for a whole month. I just got past it this week with a change to…

I lift just because I want to look good (and feel good). Credit goes to one of my friend ( that guy is like always ripped since high school). Strength is a big bonus since I play a lot of basketball.

I lift on Mon, Tue, Thu, and Fri so I have "active rest days" on the others. Rest days for me do not mean sitting on my butt and watch TV (I get plenty of that at work). In those days, I usually do some form of cardio like running/biking, plyometric, swimming, or playing sports.

Squat day - back squat then follow by split squat (finish with some leg and ab work outs). My HIIT session is nothing compare to this as my heart wants to explode with every rep. I always get DOMS on the next day.

Not really for me since I eat out a lot and it's hard to track. I'm only using the app to motivate and keep in check with some of my friends. Also, I really like people's attitude here on this forum so that's why I'm lurking around.

Just bring your body fat low enough and it MAY disappear. I'm at 14% and there's still a little bit left (they bounce when I jump. FML). Hopefully, they'll be gone when I get to 12%.

Exhausted from school work? I'd been there and I know it's tough. My advice? Power through it. You need pure determination, not motivation. As long you can spare an hour, you can go to the gym. If you're going to a university, try going to their gym after or between classes. Mine was free when I was a student. Also, I eat…

HIIT cycling: 25 mins - 5 mins warm up at lvl 5 resistance (max is 12 at my gym). 8 sets - 1 min on with max resistance and effort then 1 min off at lvl 4. 5 mins cool down at lvl 4 after completing those sets. I rarely hit the bike now as I much prefer to play sports (volleyball or basketball) for cardio.

TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure) is one of the method to calculate your needed calorie for weight maintenance (amount of calorie you need to keep your weight the same). And from there, you can add more calorie to create a surplus (hence I put TDEE + X) to build muscles or subtract less calorie from TDEE for a deficit…

Rock, alternatives, and EDM. I have my own "psych mix" playlist specifically for working out.

What she said. Also, BMR is the bare minimum of calories you need to take to function properly (so you're most likely in a deficit if you're eating at your BMR). What you're looking for is to eat over your maintenance (TDEE + X) to gain muscles.

Seems to be my back and gut. Luckily, the fat on my man-boobs, upper abs, and face went away first. I was down two jean sizes within a month. It's pretty encouraging when you lose fat in the right places. My thigh size stays the same, thanks to genetic (I want no chicken legs anyway). Even though it's pretty defined now, I…

Almond butter...with everything!

#noexcuse I tell myself that every time I try to skip or cut short my work out. Thinking of even customizing a tank top with that phrase so I can keep remind myself when I'm at the gym.

Once a week when I wake up in the morning. Right after I empty my bowels :wink: I bloat after a work out so I try to avoid weighing myself there.

You guys are right. I should embrace this and strengthen myself mentally. The hardest thing will be lowering my calorie consumption since I won't be doing much cardio. I'll also start a new split routine around upper body only (bent over barbell roll will be a pita). Luckily, my legs are naturally strong so the catch up…

Took about two or three weeks in for me. I guess I luck out in the genetic pools because I lost fat in my upper abs and my man-boobs first. I think depending on where you lose it first that it will make a difference. Now 4 months in, if I compare to the before picture, it will be night and day. Been getting a lot of…

24 y.o, male, 5'10, and 170 lbs currently. I started out at 190 lbs about 4 months ago and 170 was my first goal. On my next one, I'm hoping to get to 160 lbs/10% body fat range by Christmas. I have been too lax on my diet the past two weeks. Just need to get my head focused again for the next few months.

Try green apple with peanut butter (or better, almond butter) dip for a snack. That always kill my hunger.

I take one scoop in a smoothie (with banana, strawberry, and low fat milk) for breakfast in the morning, and two scoops with water post work out. I don't take it pre work out since I usually have dinner two hours before hitting the gym so I'm full of energy every time (C4 also helps).

Probably low fat milk with casein
