[shaz23]

hi guys,
whats goin on, im new to this so........ ya.....

heres the deal,
im a male, 21, weigh bout 175 lbs, and am bout 6''.

i have been training for about 4 years now on n off,
i have seen major results from the time i started n now.. i have gained alot of muscle weight comparing to my skinny ass b4.. anyways, i got this probelm and i cant seem to figure it out so i thought maybe id get some help up on here.

k heres whats up
i am not fat or anything, last time i checked my body fat, it was just above 9%%.
i USED 2 have a lean 6 pack, but recently my matebolism has slowed down hardcore

anyways 2 cut the story short.... i got this gut thing going on all of a sudden....... i have cut down on cardio n stuff, so half of it is m fault but like my gut seems to keep getting bigger... now its not flabby or nothing, i have never been fat. its like im fit all round, but my gut looks like a beer gut (n i dont even drink)

i tried doing abs at a regular pace, n cardio, but it seems to stay big, looks like im kinda pregnant haha, n im not ready 2 have kids.....
its gotten to a point now where i cant even rock beaters (tank tops/muscle shirts) no more, cuz my gut sticks out n it looks like im fat.

i dont want 2 look like a fat guy who thinks hes big........ soooooo how do i loose this thing n like does any1 know whats causing this... like its hard if i poke at it, it just sticks out. its ok in the morning, but right after i eat. or intake alota fluids it just gets bloated n get hugggggggeee. soooo like its not jiggly or anything its hard but..... i feel fat n its really getting 2 me now, i kinda want my 6pack back...... anyways , plz shout out 2 me, i need some help....... i spoke 2 a doctor about it a while back but he told me "it will belnd in once your chest gets bigger." but man its really starting to look like i have a huge gut , n i fear that hardcore, anywaysss.... sorry for writing alot... hope i got my msg across.

holla back
God BLess!!!

define "I watch my diet"
explain your diet and exercise routine, in detail.

also, how's your posture? bad posture will accentuate problem areas.

ok ummmmmmm, like i think i do pretty good (hopefully) when it comes to eating, i dont eat fatty foods, no junk food, no fast food, n the food i eat at home is usually pita bread n rice, n we use virgin olive oil for cooking at home sooooo..... basically i stay away from fried stuf n all that bad stuff.......

n for my workout routine, ummmmmmm like i do a muscle a day, sometimes 2.... n do abs every other day, n i try to squeeze in cardio everyday (usually play basketball, if not i hit the treadmill, Interval running)

one thing i noticed is in the beggining i got alota definition, but when i started to put on more mass, the definition kinda went away......

n i dont really get what u mean by "posture"......

thx...

Since drinking is not your problem. Alcohol slows down the metabolism quite a bit. More than most people think. the bottom line is the older you get the slower your metabolism gets. Im 28 and my metabolism isnt what it used to be when I was 18. All you can do is cut down on crap carbs and more cardio. There is no magic pill anymore. Ephedra was a great product though.
