That is the thing I don’t want to gain more fat. I’m trying to maintain my physic but at the same time grow my muscle. As I guess that is what recomp is, as what everyone else is saying.

When I was body building, none of my pants fit me and my stomach looked bigger. Overall I was always bloated vs when I was eating maintance calories. I think what happened was calorie partioning. When you have a higher bf % gaining more fat than others more quickly vs. people with a low bf %, fat gain at a slower rate. I…

No I have not looked into proven programs, I will have to. Would you suggest getting rid of bicep curls? I just thought with the workouts I choose, I was guaranteed to be hitting all the muscle groups.

Yes, I have been doing about 10-12 lbs. 10 reps and repeat it for 4 x. Of course I go heavier for others: press ( lbs 160) 10 reps x 4, weighted lunges ( lbs 40) 12 reps x 4. Bicep curls: (15 lbs) 8 reps x 4. I know some of the weights seem low but I’ve actually gone up in weights. My upper body strength is very low…

Yes, every morning. I have been been doing 100 squats on the assisted squats with 65 lbs. I have access to barbels as well.

My workout routine. Anyone feel free to tweek or modify.

Okay I will bump it up. I am a bit weak and have no upper body strength as why I put it so low.

A long time ago I used to have a personal trainer, who showed me how to do the proper techniques in work outs. I created one and she tweaked it to ensure I was getting all the muscles in one day.

Yes. 5 x a week. Different muscles. Went up in weights. However today i created an entire new workout plan. Full body workout-targeting all muscle groups in one day. I plan to progress 4 reps at 8-10 lbs. I’m not at the gym now so I don’t have my paper with me, but I can post a picture tommarow.

Hmm I really am unsure, as I am a pear shape. I think those pics are unfair to judge from, as that is overall fat.

Okay, so here are some current pics at the supposed 27 % fat. Most of my fat lays within my legs. One pic will contain a pic of leg fat with the callipers ( gross, i know). This was hard to do since, I’ve never been body confident but for the sake of science. Here yah go. Do you really think I’m 27 % body fat? And go.…

For the latest reading on the Tanita, I did not eat or drink anything when I did my scan. Also doing it as soon as I woke up, (after using the restroom.)

Thank you for everyone responses. I think my BMI is low due to my disproportionate of bone mass. My story is I was once very overweight, close to 200 pounds. (It’s been a very long journey) but as I got closer to my goal weight, I wanted to lose the last couple of pounds so I went on an extreme calorie deficit eating at…

I was doing different parts of my body different parts of the week. I just started a new workout plan that I’m going to try for 6 weeks. I don’t have the plan with me currently but I will post a pic tommarow here in the forums. Please let me know if you like my plan when I get a chance to post it.

I’ve paid for an in body scan once about a month ago. The sucker cost 60$ but the results are always more (increased weight, bf, etc.) by about 3 %.

No I haven’t tried it before

I have done other machines and bf has been higher or about the same of about 27%

Does recoump really work, do you have experience in this? Heard success stories?

Strength training 5 times a week. About an hour and ten minute session. Monday: overall legs. Tuesday: biceps/triceps Wednesday: glutes Thursday: shoulders/back Friday: chest/overall upper body Saturday: ab workout (25 minutes) Sunday: quick 20 minute sprint Warm up. And 7-10 minute row for warm ups on days I do upper body…

I have measured in the morning at the same time. I’ve just been using the Tanita machine. Should I just recomp instead of bulk? Eat at maintance and lift heavy)

I can do a lot of body weight exercises easier and have gone up in weights. But I feel fatter, my pants don’t fit anymore and my stomach has gotten bigger.

Maybe I should just recomp. Because I have never been more stressed out in my life obsessing over calories in an extreme manner. Body building is more of a lifestyle, I’m just so stressed. Can you explain what recomping is?

I have upped the protein by about 20 grams.

The Tanita machine and how my clothes feel/ photos. My stomach looks bigger, none of my pants fit me. All the Tanita results show my fat going up.

Aww I had no idea. So I should be eating the extra amount that I burn. Because if I eat more than I burn I will theoretically gain fat?

Metabolism- I say I do not have a fast metabolism because I gain weight easily ( I cannot just eat whatever I want and stay the same weight, I have to monitor closely my carb / added sugar intake . Most of my family is like this too. and no I have not been tested. I say "bulking season", for eating a surplus of calories on…
