Dumbell bench form

Possible advanced material?
So ive done some research to see where fat comes off first, for males. Typically its the face first, then arms, then chest, then stomach. However all people are different. It also didnt mention legs back neck etc... and also when they said this order does it mean that once a majority of face fat is lost and after a…

Advanced topic about the body and calories
So as we all know, the body doesnt reset its calorie needs every 24 hours to 0. So then comes intermittent fasting or the one meal a day diet. When your body indulges that large amount of calories since you only had about 200 calories from earlier that day, wouldnt your body be prone to storing some of that large meal…

Muscle loss or fat loss and 30minute eating must after a workout
will your body use fat if you don't eat after a fasted workout. Theres that principle of you must eat within 30 minutes postworkout. However, after a Resistance training and cardio session together, all on an empty stomach and then eating about 5 hours after your workout, will your body use fat as the energy it needs?

Discussing water weight
So theres diets like the 3Day Military diet in which a man loses roughly 10 pounds. But after research I found that its mainly water weight. But that idea came into conflict because isnt the fitness industry all about drinking more water. But then our body is on average 70% water. I know im probably going in circles but…

Fat loss myth?
So theres the saying that you can lose 1-2 pounds of fat per week. Ive been eating at a caloric deficit using a food tracker aka Myfitnesspal and despite months of eating in a weekly deficit of somewhere around 6000-7000 aka nearly 2 pounds of fat, i dont see the scale or my body composition changing. I get that it can be…

Intermittent fasting
Ok so theres lots of debates going on about better fat loss. However, I am unable to decipher which one is more efficient and beneficial overall. Some say eating breakfast boosts metabolism, some say skipping will make your body use fat as the energy. All sound great but which would be best for cutting aka losing body fat?

Body is weird
So um like 1 week ago my 2 pack was large and sort of wide. Im still in the low 20% body fat so i could only see it sometimes but every time i did, it was large and wide. However now its starting to fade away and become more narrow. Is this a sign of gaining fat?

Bmr is fake??
So there are many bmr websites including myfitnesspal. However all of these websites disregard muscle and sometimes body fat percentage. For example a 200 pound man body builder or even a genetic faster metabolism would burn more calories than a 200 pound man who occasionally goes to the gym and has little muscle mass.…
