I see. I personally dis like doing abs and I've probably only worked out my abs a hand full of times. I have heard a few people state that a body builders first year, it is possible to gain muscle mass while cutting fat???? Is this true

How often do you workout abs? I hear that all you need is 5 minutes a day or 5 minutes every other day of an workouts

45lbs. My diet is mainly fish, potatoes, eggs, cheese and almonds

So if I am to start cutting next week. How do I start my cut? For example, do I drop straight bellow my maintenance calories? Or do I subtract a few calories every week? And if so how many calories is safe to drop per week?

I say Prego belly because I have a round stomach after eating but aswell as a small round stomach when I'm not flexing abs. I lift mon-sat sometimes mon-fri, taking 1-2 days off a week. I workout for about 1.5 hours. I started at 130lb and I am now at 172-174. I have never taken creatine and I do not take protein shakes,…

I don't know how to post a pic on this thread but I dit update my profile picture to my abdominal area. That photo was taken today about 3 hours after my first meal. I'm am doing my full flex. I would like to cut down a bit because I plan on doing a before and after photos of my first year of body building and I want to…

Yes but all my body fat is in my abdominal area. I can't see any cuts or muscles inmmy abdominal area likeI would like too. I'm pretty lean except for my Prego belly

I've been skiny my whole life, this is the most fat I've ever had my whole life. I used a hand held monitor at my gym and it clocked me at 7.5% body fat but I know it's not accurate so I'm guessing I'm at 10%. The only true fat that I hold is in my abdominal area. I can flex all my muscles and pinch skin except my abs are…

I've been bulking for 9 months, I'm going to start cutting next month for the first time. I nplan on cutting for 2+ months to lose 8lbs or so

So would this mean that I'm safe doing a "dirty" bulk at the beginning of my bulk, and switch to a leaner bulk after a month or two??? I am new to body building and have only been working out for 9 months, and have also been bulking for 9 months. I started out at a skinny 130lbs so a full bulk was appropriate for me. I did…

This week I have been watching my sodium intake to show more definition. I have lowered my sodium intake by a lot, could this result in weight loss?

I agree 100%. For him to gain weight (the right weight gain, being muscle not fat), he will halfto eat more meals on top of a training routine. If your cooking healthy than that is GREAT! It will help you lose and it will help him stay on a lean bulk (meaning he won't gain to much fat). Continue doing what you need to do…

Eat more fruits, or even fruit juice. Fruits contain natural digestive enzymes that allow your body to digest your food properly which will allow you to eat more food. How many calories are you eating a day?

I am very active and love to do many things. I play sports with my buddies (or by myself) on Sat and Sun for 2-4 hours. Every weekend is different, today I only played soccer for 2 hours. If I decide to do a mini cut for a few weeks, how quick do I drop my calories to preserve my muscle gains?

I am creating more understanding from these comments. On weekends what is the best thing for me to do with my caloric intake? If Mon-fri (i lift eweights for one hour a day) I'm eating 3300 and on sat-sun I'm doing about 3 hours of cardio each day, do I leave my calories the same?

In 2-4 weeks ide like to lose 2-5lbs. I have not counted my calories on weekends for 3-4 weeks now and I've been losing 2-3lbs on my weekends but gaining 1lb-1.5lbs on week days. I am not taking creatine to lose an extensive amount of water in just 2 days. This 2-3,lbs I'm losing on weekends made me think of a possible…

So if I'm at 1lb a week vs .5lbs am I gaining the same muscle gains just less fat gain??

Simple! Eat more food. Find your caloric maintenance and surplus it by a few hundred. If you go under your maintenance than you loose weight. Get yourself a food scale and a body scale. Weigh yourself every few days too twice a week. Eat more rice and pasta. You can use this app to recommend a caloric intake for yourself…

I don't think it's from my lifts because I only get the pain on weekends when I do sports. The workouts that I can do the most of after my tendon pain are dead lifts and squats because they have less pressure on my bicep tendon. During my bench press, I feel slight pain in my bicep tendon but not as bad as doing back day.…

That's a heart breaker for me. I am very active and love to play baseball. How long of a break should I take? A month or two?

So if I am bellow my maintenance calories on the weekends and doing cardio, am I burning a percentage of fat in just 2 days? If I'm gaining 1lb through Mon-fri but losing 2-3+lbs on Saturday-Sunday, I am loosing more weight than gaining. I'm wondering what I am losing to drop my weight so much? I understand losing water…

Should I be eating more on weekends? Is it possible to loose a percentage of fat in just 2 days? I am concerned about my muscle response during this process that my body takes through these two days.

Count the protein that you eat weather its complete or not. I am just learning about the complete proteins aswell. I have found that it is important for us humans to consume complete proteins because they contain the amino acids that our body can not naturally produce. By eating complete proteins, you are only feeding your…

It's the same but it's not the same on your intestines. I don't eat fast food but it's like me saying that if I eat a burger from mc Donald's of 500+ calories than its the same as if I was to eat my wild caught fish burrito of 500+ calories. Calories are the same bit ingredients are definitely not. Remember, you are what…

This makes sense to me. I am always bouncing my legg up and down or shaking my feet when I lay down. But can this activity be so active that it's like cardio to me and others that have as much energy as I do? I understand that this movement will burn more calories but does it truly make that much of a difference? I don't…

If a fast metabolism is a myth than why do I poop after every meal?? I've been skiny my whole life, as a kid I used to eat over 10 pb&js back to back and remain skinny. I used to eat lettuce bowls of ice cream to myself, 2 large burritos from Alberto's to myself and after all this, I still ate more as a kid. And I am the…

I was 130lbs at age 20. I'm 21 now and 175lbs. Eat more rice, and pastas. Do not depend on supplements like powder proteins and mass gainers, they won't help the skiny guys as much as real food will. You don't need to count calories as your just starting. Just eat everything you can. Eat until you can't eat anymore with…

I would honestly return the mass gainer. I was skinny my whole life. I see skinny people at the gym eating mass gainer s and seeing no results. My body is like a furnace, if I drink a powder protein shake than I'm pooping it out in a few hours, and I'm guessing your body is similar, and that's why your body weight is so…

Thank you all for the response
