Hey /fit/ness experts,

I've made some strides in fitness over the past year. I think I've hit a wall though with what I'm currently doing- the pic attached is something I would have posted in the progression thread if it hadn't failed and reached the limit.
I'm 6"2' and 185 Lbs.
The pic has my goals written in colorful type, because maybe the bright colors will attract your attention.

hi

your upper body is more/less what you want you say... but it looks like you're turning into one of those frat guys with huge upperbodies and twigs for legs... work those puppies... body weight, free weight, machines, w/e (though i advise bodyweight or freeweight over fixed track machines)


also, you look to be at a fairly low body fat percentage (i'd gauge somewhere between 15 and 25... ) just keep working out and keep from eating horrible junky foods and that should increase (if it doesn't start doing a long (2-3 hour) body weight routines that work really hard)

basicly keep up the work and don't slack

Any advise would be appreciated.
>> rowerfag
i'll see if i can find my bodyweight routine... it should be saved somewhere on my comp

I didn't realize the lack of working on my legs was so visible... I do ride my bike and run a 3-4 times a week though.
I kinda figured that was as good as a leg press- but whatev I'll switch up my weight routine.

excuse the friday as I am a rower... even if i can't be on the water i need to do something...

also remember to always warmup stretch and cooldown

without further adieu:
Monday and wednesday(on a 150 meter stretch... of hill, preferably)
sprint and walk back 5 times
frogman (squat with a forward leap) and walk back 3 times
lunges and walk back twice
repeat for 1.5 hours... then run a half mile

50 pushups (or variant)
20 pullups or chinups
anything you want to add (may I honestly suggest squats... not as a /fit/ joke but because i am a rower and we love the fuckers)

Tuesday and thursday
run 3-10 miles
work core (planks, situps, scullers *seated with arms out to sides and legs in, put legs out in front and bring arms arms to opposite side*, crunches, yess and nos *neck workout... hold head an inch off ground and nod or shake head 100 or more times*, whatever other core stuff you can think of...)
make it last at least 2 hours total with running and core

friday - i'd say hop on an erg, but the HORRIBLE form of most people on an erg tells me to tell you to avoid them.... probably just repeat monday/wednesday or come up with your own thing

saturday and sunday rest

enjoy your pasta

This thread is now about if you can lose fat while doing weight training.

Question: can you?

yes but it's hard

I don't understand why everyone is so against gaining a few pounds of fat. It is MUCH more economical in terms of the work that you put in to do the tried and true bulk/cut cycle. People use it for a reason, professional physique competitors do it, why do people hate it so much? It's just not effective to try to build muscle and lose fat at the same time. You can spend years dicking around to achieve what is possible in just a few months of a good cycle.

Like the OP people have said to me you can't.
Not an expert though.

Tips on a good cycle plz?

Just eat healthy during both phases, and eat more calories than you need during the bulking phase and less than you need during cutting phase, especially reducing carbs and refined sugars. Usually the bulking phase lasts longer (but it depends on the person).

>This thread is now about if you can lose fat while doing weight training.

This is actually the first time I've heard anyone say this is an issue. Sounds to me like it's a myth based on anecdotal claims from weightlifters who aren't doing nearly enough cardio.

BTW /fit/,
do you like my bod?
I'm reasonably happy with it, but constructive criticism is always enlightening.

"Greek God?"

Go fuck yourself, OP.

Fucking bright colored text. It drew me in.

Well, since I am here.

1. You've got womanly hips, so work lats to maybe offset that, or at least distract.

2. Don't get hung up on a quest to "not look like a bodybuilder": you won't. Ever. You're a lanky ectomorph so working out HARD will maybe be just enough to give you your Adonis-like form.

3. SQUATZ!!!1111one

PS. Connotation is a hidden meaning, as opposed to a denotation. FYI.

I have sort of the same hip problem. How do i fix it if it's fixable?

1. Work your v-taper by doing pull-ups, bent-over rows, and bent-over flies. It will disguise the large hips by making the rest of your trunk large and flared outward.

2. Possibly lose more weight, if it were mere fat storage, but it looks like this guy has a large pelvis, as in bone structure, so that won't take him very far.

diet:
- cut out absolutely any fats and alcohol.
-only eat fruits, complex carbs and lean meats and protein shakes.

exercise:
HIIT: 5-6 times a week
full body workout: 1-2 times a week
p.s. creatine is also very good.
your opinions 4chan??

you're very far from looking like mercury.

Oh shi- I misused the word. Thanks for the tip.

I don't really want an Adonis-like form, the bronze statue pic posted accurately describes what I considered the Greek God form. I will work the lats, thx for the tip.
>> rowerfag
does /fit/ have any suggestions on my schedule above btw, I'd love to improve it according to suggestions (it's not for bulking or lifting strength though, it's an endurance/explosive power oriented thing)
