currently stripping fat rather than building muscle or strength

i do it in stages cause its not possible to build muscle and lose weight consecutively because one requires taking in more calories than you use and the other requires using more calories than you take in

me at 18st 4lbs

Yup I understand that part but still 9grams is insanely low seeing as 9grams=81 calories total and a guy active like you should still eat at 1500 calories a day thats alot of no fat food to eat

When bulked I go over 19 and a half

I mean thats the Thing your a big guy but I am lighter and thinner and I press a bit more, I truly believe diet is the key have you tried a diet where you cycle carps and protein over a five day period and start again for the first month no junk day.

eg day one 300 grams of carbs 150 grams of protein
day two 200 grams of carbs 200 grams of protein
day three 100 grams of carbs 250 grams of protein
day four 50 grams of carbs 300 grams of protein
day five 50 grams of carbs 300 grams of protein

Split into five meals

split into five meals - day four and five are awful because its all oat cakes and rice cakes for carbs.

By 3 weeks you will have lost a stone and retained most of your strength

Damn thats barely any calories for someone that size🙂 I can gaurentee that if you weigh from 250 plus that you will lose weight VERY VERY quickly with that calorie program🙂 LOL actually forget the macro nutrient breakdown there just eat really anythin you want and keep that calorie count you'll lose weight🙂

Losing fat is just about dieting and cardio to remove fat from under the skin, you can work out with weights but it won't remove the fat from under the skin. Reps does alot of it, diet as well, and cardio the rest... particularly with the legs/quads.

cheers guys

i'll try the advice

what i'm cuurently doing seems to be working. in a year i've dropped from closer to 25 st down to my current weight (above)

the problem with the 5 meals routine for me is time

i do a full time university course and some days have no time off (classes from 9am-4 pm straight through then straight to work for 5 pm til 10 or 11 a couple of days a week

add to that gym time (2 hours a day) study time (2 hours a day and more in the next 2 months because of exams)

so timing my meals becomes difficult

I try to go for 7 a day, with small proportions to keep my metabolism up, alas its difficult for me to do so with the lack of time I continue to have.

Hey Jaden Congratulations thats alot of weight good job🙂 I was on the other end where I wanted to gain quality weight.........I just kinda planned out my meals in advance and cooked on Sunday for myself.....HUGE AMOUNTS of brown rice, no sugar/nonfat yogurt, Chicken breasts, potatoes baked etc etc its kind of a pain but you will see good results and its harder to cheat that way simply because you will always have a good food source handy.

C-Master good job

lol thanks. 😊

Kind of a creepy pic C-Master. Odd pose. Why so sweaty? And what are those stains on your shorts?

Its called the "Most Muscular Pose (reverse)" The normal most muscular pose is called the crab shot, and it shows the back more or less with the neck. The reverse shows the chest, neck, abs, and arms better. Its not fun posing your entire body and smiling without cramping.

Oh, and baby oil reflects light. I just left the shower, and I used it to give it an extra "kick", pardon the stains. 😖hifty:

In my pic my bodyfat is about 10 percent very low

Jade you've hit addict level man I used to do 2 hours a day I get better results out of 1 hour four times a week much better recovery - in regards to meals prepare the night before, eat in Lectures. Trust me I lecture and I manage it.
