First time poster here. And I have a whale of questions to lay on all you guys..Any feedback/comments are appreciated.
Ok...I'll start it off like this...I'm 21 years old atm. Back in high school I was around the height of 5'9 and weighed 155 pounds. I was rather athletic playing basketball EVERY DAY during lunch for an hour straight. I ate whatever I wanted which included fast food EVERYDAY almost and I mean everyday...some times multiple. But I was so athletic with basketball it never really messed with me. After high school I stopped and for 2 years straight playing a MMORPG (Massive Multiplayer Online Roleplaying Game). Basically one of those games that people lose their lives over. Thank god for my future orientated mind I quit that god forsaken game (while making 600 bucks selling my account in the process ^_^). During that time I ate lots of fastfood and did nothing but sit at a computer all day...Lost touch with all my friends because of it and god was that painful. During this time I went from 155 to 170 (amazing..only 15 pounds over 2 years..LOL)..I quit playing the game back during June....it's been 6 months since that time and I swore to myself to get back in shape...Well..I have...I weighed 155 to 170...now I'm down to 145 (with basketball shorts and a white undershirt)...Now here's my ACTUAL question....I was 5'9 back during HS...and yes I did eat all sorts of bad food but now I'm 5'11 and I weigh 145?...also I'm not a very strong person to begin with...I'm MUCH more formed then I use to be...much stronger...back during highschool curling 15-20 pound dumbells was my area of working out...now I'm curling 30-35's...doing 10 reps with 6-10 sets depending on the days...I have MORE muscle then I use too and I'm lighter?..and taller?..I've been doing cardio and splitting my meals into 5 for each day...no diet pills or anything just long hard work....at one point I weighed 140 which was 1-2 months ago...which is part of the problem...I want a 6 pack...compared to how I looked during highschool (my face mostly clinged to my bone structure...very smooth look)...Now I have what my friend and I call the "Fat Face"...lol...Although I've lost most of it since I started working out...I still have a chubbier face then I use too and I weigh less...What can I do too lessen this?...I also have a small double chin which I didn't use to have when I was weighing 155. The biggest problem of all is a 6 pack...I got down to 140 and I still couldn't get it...I've heard MANY things about getting a 6 pack...one which I believe is that sit ups won't do anything...everyone can have strong abs but unless you get rid of the fat ontop you won't be able to see it. Diet and excersize is the only way to achieve a 6 pack since you have to lower your body fat....I weigh 145 yet I still have a stomach!..it doesn't make sense!..it's not a big stomach but it's still there...I've tried so hard to get a washboard stomach atleast...at a side angle you can see the hump on my stomach...My lower abs have that V shape that leads down to the private region...I have it and it's formed very well...but I can't get rid of this damn mini beer belly and I already dropped down to 140 pounds...Is there anyway I can obtain a 6 pack?..it's driving me bonkers.
ok I know that was too much information to process...sorry to slap such a big one on everyone...I'll sum up the questions I asked in that rant so it's easier for everyone..
I weigh less then I use too...I'm taller..stronger...and yet I still have a stomach?...what can I do?
How can I lose fat in the areas I really want to tone myself down in?...like how I use to be..mostly in the facial/neck region as well as my love handles..
I guess that's all I can think of atm...a few details about my workout..I workout every other day or every 3 days...I do cardio before I start my workout. I work my chest, triceps, biceps, deltoids, stomach, shoulders, and some of my back. I'm not very active atm when I'm not working out which I know is a problem..gotta keep active as much as possible..even walking would help...I eat a LOT healthier then I use too....I still from time to time indulge but I went on a spree of eating nothing but healthy foods..Chicken breast, egg whites (hard boiled), steamed vegetables, steak for protein (not often)...and since you need SOME carbs I ate some rice 2-3 times a week (Although not a lot)..lots of fruits as well...apples and banana's mostly with strawberries too. stayed away from bread and patatoes as well....and with this I Dropped down to 140 and still no 6 pack....I'm doomed?...
ok..I'll stop typing now..ranting again..lol..but that's basicly what I do...
BTW...any suggested excersizes would be great...I have Bowflex Selectech Dumbells (greatest invention ever) and that's all I use to work out...so if anyone has some GREAT free weight excersizes that'd be great...Hopefully I'll become a regular here since theres such a nice community ^_^...looking forward to getting to know you all.
