I'm at a point where bulking 2lbs a month is leading to more fat gains than lean mass. So I want to start bulking 1lb a month to stay as lean as possible and be able to put on some sort of mass.

Great job bro.

Anything specific you might've done for lower back / love handle fat? I'm similar to where you started at 207. Really want to tighten up these stubborn areas as I lean down.

Great job bro.

Do your muscles feel "hard" now when touched" I'm similar to where you started but my body feels soft to touch. I'm hoping the skin tightens and muscle feels "harder" as I get...

Looking great bro.

Diet and macros? And anything specific you did to get a tight adonis belt? Thank you.

Great job man. I basically started the same size as you. I'm half way there right now.

1. Did you have any fat in your legs?
2. How tight is your skin now? Do you feel "soft" when relaxed or is...

I've never heard of that. Do you have a link to that info? Thanks.

Looking great man.

What is your routine? I am same height but my arms and calves are severely lacking. I'm eating enough calories and gaining weight so diet isn't the issue for me.

Besides a calorie deficit, anything you do to get rid of stubborn fat areas (love handle / lower back fat) once you got down to close to 10% or lower?

Both. Most of the fat gain went straight to my love handles and lower back where I've always had a problem. Lifts have increased so I gained some muscle as well.

But for some reason my arms got...

I've been bulking for 8 months now and put on 16lbs (2lbs/month). I kept my calories exactly at 3300 the whole time and yet I was gaining 2lbs / month.

I thought I would have needed to increase my...

For density, I meant how "hard" it looks. Even in unfavorable lighting at my leanest point, my muscles looked "hard" but when I touched them, they were still pretty soft relaxed. I know I still...

Once you got down to lean levels, how tight was your skin and how dense did your muscle feel when relaxed?

Thanks.

When you cut weight to 78kgs, what were your calories / macros? Also, did you do anything specific to help lose love handle fat / lower belly fat?

Thanks.

Excellent work.

Just a quick question - once you got down to this leanness, were you still "soft" to touch when you're unflexed? And when you sit down, does your stomach expand?

I know these...

Can you post your diet macros? Thanks

Would it be better to do a surplus of 250-500 calories a day above maintenance OR just surplus calories on workout days and maintenance calories on rest days?

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but does it have to be exactly 8 hour feeding period? For me personally, it'd be better if I had about 9-10 hours to eat if that would still work.

I'm basically the same as you OP. I was at 220 in July 2011, was losing 1lb/month initially then 1.5-2lbs a little after since I started doing cardio and reduced my calories a bit.

I hit 162 today...

Thanks for the reply. I get the LBM calculation and stuff but my problem is that I'm consistently losing weight every week yet instead of seeing changes to my fat, there's no change at all to my...

I'm 6'2" and 23 years old.

I've been cutting weight since 220 (July 2011) with an average weight loss of 1lb/week for the first couple of months and then 1.5-2lbs/week after that since I started...
