Thanks for the sound advice people, you have made me feel at least somewhat better about myself. I am not the strongest of guys, I had to originally start with dumbbells, but have recently purchased a power rack, barbell and weights and a bench. Is it okay to continue with just lifting the Olympic barbell or should I add…

Just the hips/love handles. I rarely see guys with them. Usually I see guys with like a beer belly but never love handles! You see how my body starts to go outwards near the hips, that is what I hate. I guess I'm just worried that I may have a hormonal issue.

Okay it's OT but is it normal that as a guy I can't do more than one pull up or five push ups? I can lift heavy weight but can't do 10 push ups? When I try to, my whole body kind of trembles/shakes and I just fail lol.

Thanks for your input everyone. So you all don't think there is any issue with my hips? They look pretty wide.

I am lifting, I want to lose some bodyfat/pounds while maintaining as much muscle as possible. Then I want to eat in a surplus and gain muscle. I thought this was generally what you have to do or am I misinformed.

So I should aim to lose like a pound a week and eat like 1800 calories a day and just keep lifting? For what it's worth I don't expect to lose this weight and look great, it's my first cut.

Are you saying that my plan to drop to 15 to 10% body fat is flawed because the end result will be bad? I realise I am not very muscly, but I do have big arms/biceps and muscly legs, it's just my body that is *kitten*. My plan was to drop this fat then work on building muscle as if I focus on building muscle now, I will…

I am doing so but I keep suffering with persistent hamstring strain/soreness. When I do stiff leg deadlift, jesus the next death my legs feel like death.

I want to cut down to 10% body fat. I think I have at least 30 to 50 pounds to lose to get there. Sorry if I mislead you all, I guess I described my issues wrong. What I mean is that I feel the shape of my body is not manly. It kind of looks like a pear shape, you can see this in the 3rd and 4th photo.
