Ask me anything about Losing fat and getting ripped

[head shots101]

Do situps, stay away from carb intensive or fatty cards e.g. bread, beer, white pasta, dough/pizza etc. Stick to clean carbs - sweet potato, oats, brown rice. That and do core strengthening exercises, crunches and situps are crucial - do a couple hundred every other day to keep the core tight. Tight core is the cornerstone of other exercises

good looks man...I don't eat white bread, rice none of that...mostly everything whole grain

can you recommend any machines to use in the gym also?

Thanks Breh.

What are your thoughts on cardio for fat loss btw?

Keep it to a minimum. Some people do zero cardio with a clean diet and achieve the results they want. I personally do low intensity cardio while cutting, but more recently I've switched to just clean eating and compound lifting or supersets as a substitute.

try to gravitate from machines to free weights, better range of motion and you have less ability to cheat. hit up www.muscleandstrength.com for hundreds of workout plans. They even show videos of how to perform the exercise correctly, one of the best resources on the net.

Word eh. I even checked my BMI today and I made a mistake I'm actually 14% body fat

In terms of cardio I'm not doing no Usain Bolt super intense shyt but I make sure I get my good cardio sessions with my workout twice a week, 30 minutes each.

im 5'11 skinny 165

i need to get more muscle. what bicep, shoulder, and chest routine would you reccomend me when i hit the gym?

 

[acri1]

I'm 5'9 and about 150.

I'm not super worried about weight or getting bigger, per se, but I want to gain some muscle tone...want to avoid gaining fat tho. What would you recommend?

Is eating breakfast that big of a deal? I usually skip it due to lack of time and not being hungry in the morning. How may calories should I eat a die, and is it really necessary to count? How often do I need to hit the gym, and how much cardio should I be doing? I get kind of lazy about it at times but I don't suppose going once a week is enough to see results.

Not carbs but the fat

It happens, give it a few days, water retention is unpredictable Obviously its not thirteen pounds of muscle or fat.

@Kasino416 I have a very active job. I actually have a fitbit wristband that tracks how many steps and miles I do over the course of my shift and I do anywhere from 8 miles to 15 miles per shift per day along with physical work with lifting... if i'm doing that, do I really need to do cardio outside of my work or should I focus on just lifting?
