I don't use grips but this post reminded me of this http://imgur.com/gH6nsQB

I've heard an obese man telling another obese man to do that abs-machine and disregard diet to get that sweet sixpack. I've seen people curling in the squat rack, PT discouraging new lifters from squats, OHP/squats in smith machine and of course curlbros doing 10x10 curls, 10x10 crunches and leaving gym.

There is no such thing as lower abs, it's just one big muscle For abs do deadlifts and weighted crunches.

It's just you, natties can cut to 7% BF but they won't be able to maintian.

ATG squats, definitely. currently at 3plate, hoping to get 3.5 by the end of winter.

How many nattys do you know to maintain at 7% BF while staying shredded?

You can do that under certain circumstances

I don't even know where to start.. Ignore the person who just told you to burn 3000 calories and don't listen to him/her about nutrition ever again. Calorie deficit means eating below your TDEE Calculate your TDEE here http://iifym.com/tdee-calculator/ If your TDEE is 2500 you substract 500 and eat at 2000 to lose weight,…

Muscle building and weight loss is impossible, there are only few exceptions. 1) noob gains 2) illegal supplements You're most likely experiencing noob gains, after that stops I recommend you to cut using TDEE-500 deficit when you cut to awesome BF(10-13%) you should start bulking to gain some muscles, if that is your goal…

If your daily intake is 1200 and you burn say.. 200 calories from exercising, then you may consume 1400 calories.

Long-term yes, short-term no. In fact it will only increase HGH production which naturally leads to increased metabolism

You mean your body stopped obeying to laws of thermodynamics :D :laugh: 3500 calories a week is nothing, I eat 3000 calories/day in winter. Anyway, you're probably miscalculating something.

as long as it's below TDEE you'll lose weight. You lose more if you eat at bigger deficit.

1g/lb is not "more than enough" In fact, that is absolute minimum When you're bulking your protein intake should be 1.5-2g/lb

No need to write it down myfitnesspal has the application for that http://www.myfitnesspal.com/food/diary/ Yes it's very wise to keep track of your calories.

That routine looks terrible, no offense. as shutupandlift recommended you should really start some proper routine like SS or some other variation of it, I'm pretty certain it will "tone" you more than whatever it is that you're doing. Is whey okay to vegetarian/vegan lifestyle? I'm not too familiar with either of those, if…

You're not going to drop from 10% BF to 8% BF in 2 weeks using legal supplements/diet that would require at least 4-6 weeks with perfect diet.

What BF are you at currently?

I think HIIT should be better compared to 6K runs. If you want to lose your BF and time is not of essence why not simply eat at deficit and continue your weight training?

Greetings llama. First of all, do not be discouraged 2 months is nothing and as I've read your post I can't help but notice that you might have no idea about what you're doing, let me clear some points 1) there is no such thing as "muscle toning" 2)There is no such thing as spot reduction, you will slim down as your BF…

Thank you Karen, mods please close this.
