How to turn bulky mass into cuts?

[BigDaddy0830]

Hi! I'm 44 years old, male, 5'8" in height and 82 kg in weight. I started working out last June 11, 2012 and running 14 weeks already (1 to 1.5 hrs a day work out/ 5x a week). I can say, there's a lot of improvement now in my body as a whole. My friends told me that I've got the mass and bulky but I don' have the cuts.

For my supplement, recently I started using ON Whey Protein for 3 weeks and starting tomorrow I am going to use my newly ordered NO Xplode.

Prior to this, I need your honest advise, opinions and experiences how am I going to achieve the so called "CUTS/ RIPPED" body? Is there a workout combination? Do I need to spend more time doing my cardio?

yes and yes.

Cardio yes....diet yes.

You need to spend more time doing everything, you have been only at it 100 days and change.

The answers are all here start searching and reading!

^^^^^ Is that what you think or are you taking their word for it?

Bulky? Too much fat maybe?

Then, diet is your answer.

[BigDaddy0830]

yes and yes.

Could you please advise me what is the most effective way?

You will not be the only one over 40 here who finds it difficult to lose fat. You want to lose fat and keep muscle.

My best advice is to count calories & have less potato, bread, rice. Have more brocolli/cauli/beans & protein like eggs/beef/fish. Dont have junk food. Get 100g protein each day and maybe have 2000 calories.

It IS a hard slog but worth it in the end.

Do a 12 week cut if you want to see good long results, low carbs,and high protein. Should probably incorporate hiit training into your cardio and exercises as well.

OP,this may help.If you wish to reduce fat,you need to eat at a caloric deficit.

Thankz! You're right, I guess it's time to dedicate more time doing my cardio and focus on my diet.
