I see so many ajs with hot bods with abs. What would be the key to getting abs? I already gym (weight training) regularly, take protein and don't often overeat. What else must i do?

[hggave]

I was ever told that to have abs we need to reduce body fat until below 15% by having correct diet, regular exercise and enough rest.

I know the key to gaining mass is to lift and eat more. However I am finding it difficult to eat more.

Especially when I am working. Its hard to squeeze in time for snack after lunch and breakfast. And I cant force myself to eat a larger portion in one meal.

Have started to eat supper nowadays. Only during weekend I can split my meals to 5 or more a day.

[whynot]

i can eat a lot but weigh the same

[Simple84]

Besides creatine, any to recomend for hard gainers like me?

170 53

The brands and price

=)

Thanks in advance

[NielKlient]

Liquid meal? Like protein shake and stuff? I take them after work out. So I should take them in between meals to supplement my diet?

Don't you have favorite food? The problem we commonly have is that food that taste good are usually junk food that make you fat. French fries, cha kway teow, chicken wings, laksa, desserts. I have to control my greedy stomach all the time. How come your stomach is not greedy for yummy junk foods?

Hi guys, just need some advices here. 

From march till now, I've lost 15kg just by dieting and jogging/swimming.

Recently, I started going to the gym, but I have no idea what to do other that using the treadmills and cycling.

My goal is to lose more weight, currently 100 and gain muscles and be toned.

So any advices?

[eastguy95]

Hello ppl, are weight gainers made in New Zealand safe for consumption? Due to the recent news on dairy products from New Zealand.

Obtaing 6pacs is through a combination of cardio, Crunches, let raises, dieting and even through having a tight abs skin and correct flexing. Fundamentally, you just need to get your body fat down

Mind if you share with us how you achieved to reduce your body fat?

And how to calculate body fat?

[Guest Guest]

i use my digital scale to calculate my avg fat %.

 

they said its not so accurate as our water content inside our body flatuate now n then.

 

No matter how and when I weight myself n obtain my fat %, it hovers between 10 to 12%. Good as a rough guide.

 

i heard skin fold measurement is more accurate but dunno where to do it.

 

[Guest Guest]

going through a few bodybuilding forums to see if this is legit. am seriously very skeptical on the testimonials and reviews.

so far this is the only proper thread with one person trying it with results.

I read around that you have to maintain under 8-10% body fat to start seeing abs come through..

rather than buy based on the brand and product name...u sld also read the ingredients.

 

many of these fat burners contain the usual ingredients like raspberry, green tea egcg, nitrix oxide etc.

its more like all in 1 solution.

 

its the similar concotion but marketing differently and w fanciful names.

Eat a lot, esp ur breakfast. Last time I have one colleague who everyday eat very heavy breakfast, like noodles, nasi lomak, fried mee n carrot cake etc, put on 5-8kg over 2 yrs!

[Guest Sighx1000]

Is there any way i can build my body from skinny to maybe atleast to a lean body & some arm muscles ?

I know i should love the way i am but still.......

I appreciate all the kind replies from fellows bw-er

Oh btw... I don't really like going to gym because i scared being teased .

Hopefully there's some exercise i can do at home perhaps ?

[cakeboy]

If you havent touched gym for a while or is a gym virgin. Here is what you may do:-

 

1) Just go to gym. Do whatever. Stay at places you feel comfortable and not get intimidated. Get used to the gym surroundings, know briefly where is the cardio, where is the machines and where is the free weights.

 

2) Start with some light cardio. Treadmill, rowing machine, steps machine, bike machine...etc. You have not been working out your heart. Get your whole body pumped with blood. Get used to the faster heartrate.

 

3) For your first trip to gym, this will conclude your workout. Do not overwork your body. You will have the tendency to burst forth but hold your energy back. Save it for future trips, the journey has just begun. Don't spend more than 1 hr.

 

4).... Post here once you done first 3 steps.

A balanced diet with meat veggie and grains.

To start the ball rolling, I don't.

hey all experienced bodybuilder! it has been very informative reading all 13 pages of this forum. 

a little about myself: i started gyming about 4 years back in cali with my friends, but stopped after i entered uni becos of the heavy workload (bad bad move). now picking up gym again and i aim to lose body fats and become muscular.

now the dilemma - i read that it's not possible to lose weight and become muscular at the same time? i can only focus on one goal, is that true?

my intro is 25 172 80 chi. hope i can get some advice from you all!

It is good that you have taken initiative to have a healthy lifestyle.

 

My view - based on your body weight and % fat  (I assume > 18%) you would not be able to see the muscle now. 

But with consistency of correct training and right diet, not to mention rest  you will go thru a certain stage of transformation. ( i.e. from body fat of 18% to 16 % to X%) 

With the transformation you will see your fat burn off and able to see your strength increase week after week ,where you gradually build and see your muscle. 

 

It is a long journey  but an achievable and possible result. .

Remember -  "Rome is not built a day " 

 

i would strongly suggest you to find out ( from PT or fitness consultant) your body type and fat percentage so that you will be able to strategies your training and measure your progress effectively. With body type known you will able to know what type of diet to take that will help with your goals ( which is very important)

 

Thats my take on this. I too on my journey to cut fat and so far my experience i share here has proven effective to me esp for my body type.

[constantine]

hey thanks for your patience in replying me! my percent body fat is 28.4% so i guess im fat rather than muscular? total weight is 80.7kg, muscle mass is 33.5kg, body fat mass is 32.9kg (normal range is 27.8-34), body water is 42.3kg. so how shld i train n diet to achieve weight loss and gain muscle?
