My fav workout song is: Kraddy Android Porn I also like Red Hot Chili Peppers when doing something low intensity.

I'm just genuinely curious. Didn't mean to make this sound misogynistic.

This is not true. Guys at my gym barely do any cardio and if they do, it's always sprints and high intensity stuff. It's predominately guys in the weight room. I honestly find treadmilling to be boring, but to each their own.

To lose fat and then bulk up. Goal is 155-160 lbs @ 12% bf.

Not weight. Losing body fat and maintaining muscle should be your goal.

M/20/5'11" [138lbs to 185lbs] (1 year; 6 months) + (B: 300lbs; S: 410lbs; D: 480lbs)

Look again...it's there.

Huh? His stats are listed above his before pictures. And his time frame is 18 months.

Only 10 lbs!? Then how about this guy?: http://imgur.com/a/ZJ11x He's the same age as me and that looks like a lot more than 10 lbs of muscle gained (mind you this is 1.5 years). He did not do gear or anything as far as I know.

So I can go from 115 LBM to 140 LBM in 2 years of dedicated training? I need to lose 30 lbs of fat first, though.

Calorie deficit. Lifting for body composition along with diet.

Females should cut to 20% and bulk to 25%. Lather, rinse, repeat.

Add 100 cals every week until you reach your TDEE

Can I do weighted decline situps?

You weigh 175 with about 10% bf at 5'9? Isn't that superman size?

Gain 2 lbs/month (.5/wk) is what I've heard and read is safe to ensure max muscle and min fat.

Skinny-fat is a tough place to be in.

Thanks but I don't think I look anything like my friends. I hate being flabby.

Btw, should I supplement with creatine and a caffeine pill?

Why is that? Now I have varying opinions...ugh.

And what happens I wonder when I stall on the lifts in say 4-6 months when newbie gains are done?

Thank you. So yes, I will recomp eating maintenance cals and lifting heavy 3/wk.

Found this on reddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/Fitness/comments/38jfrx/6_months_progress_200_lbs_skinnyfat_to_182_lbs_at/

I'm not average. And as I said above I'm scared to cut because I might become a smaller version of my current self because I lack the LBM.

Is maintenance what you usually recommend for those in my position? Just wondering.

Okay. That's what I'll do...eat maintenance and train hard for 4-5 months.

Sorry for the duplicate.

So, if I cut (-20% TDEE), how long should I cut for? Should I cut ten pounds (losing 1lb/wk) and then re-evaluate?

Well, I also read somewhere that if above 18% bf (which I probably am), fat to muscle gain ratio can be 1:1 (the p-ratio). Is this true?
