Forum: Losing Fat

Not sure where the best place for lean bulking topics is... Has anyone else found that consistency and trackability is more difficult while lean bulking than when cutting? Whenever I cut, I'll usually drop 2lb in the first week, then an average of 1lb per week from then on - although it often...

Hello all. I've been a fairly thin person my whole life, never had noticeable abs, not ecto. More like between meso.. I've been working out a year now, I'm 28, 5'11. 165. I'm gaining strength, everyone in my family has a cut. Rest of their old fat bodies are fairly thin. So on a GOOD day,...

Hi, Last 2 years I've been going to the gym to gain muscle mass and optimize for aesthetics, went from ~71 kg to ~77 kg at 181 cm height. Now I'm wondering if it's time to do a cut during summer, i.e. will I look good or do I need to put on more muscle mass first?. I feel like it's hard for...

I've been on the weight loss journey for 10 months now. I've gone from 204lb with 30%BF to 160 with 18%BF, this was a combination of calorie deficit and cardio training. Now I'm stuck at 160 with 18%BF, the measurement comes from a scale. I know many will jump and say it's crap, I did tape myself...

Just finished 12 week of fat loss, lost around 15 lbs, still got 20 lbs more to lose. My question is how important are maintenance phases and lower volume training between the phases? People like Mike Israetel and Layne Norton always preaches some type of reverse diet or maintenance phase after...

I have been living a sedentary lifestyle and so accumulated weight. Being an ectomorph I don?t gain easily, but by not moving, and a little older now, it has come on a bit. Far more active these last few months, walking every day for a couple of hours, I have been able to get my weight down by...

Hello I’m wondering how water weight effects this type of testing? If I gain weight from water while using creatine and say that all muscle mass and fat stays the same. My underwater weight will also stay the same right? even if it is a, let’s say 6 pound gain from water retention on the scale? So...

I'm at a crossroads here. I'm a little frustrated but learning to enjoy/accept the process lol. I'm new here as of today but I've been obsessed with bodybuilding and the fitness lifestyle on and off for 10 years now. As far as genetics go, they aren't great. Always struggled with weight my entire...

Hi Guys, Not sure why i always feel extremely tired when running. I can do weight lifting for 1 - 2 hours without any problems, but during the cardio days, I cannot even running on the trendmill for 10mins. I start to feel tired after 5mins of the run ( 6.0 speed on trendmill). Today I pushed...

I’ve Been doing a hour of cardio, lifting, and eating one light meal a day in a one meal a day fasting the other 23 hours a day. Haven’t lost one pound in 2 weeks of doing this. Is there’s usually a delayed effect to losing weight that hits weeks after the work and diet done, or is something...

I'm fairly new to fitness, worked out for a few months, eventually stopped because of stuff, now I'm kind of chubbed up (M17, 5'11.65, 78kg/171.9lbs) cause I stayed at the same ~300 caloric surplus give or take, hence gained some fat, especially on my lower back and hips. I got back onto working...
