ive always been pretty squareish (i dont think ive ever had a V taper) but in decent shape until the last few years. ive been getting back into weights over the last few weeks and have been on a regular 4 days split and doing about 20 minutes on the stair climber after my workouts. the other three days ive been running two miles (to start) but i havent really been consistent with that.
diet...well i know what to eat and i do pretty well. if anything im probably not eating enough. im about 5'9", probably 20-23% bf at about 215-220lbs depending on the scale. Over the next year or so i want to get to around...190ish and continue to eventually 170 or so. i dont think im capable of getting below 160ish physically...im just not built that way i think. its like im made of bricks but i dont care as long as the composition is there.
anyway...my question is this. ive noticed that my stomach is hard but fat (obviously...cause im fat). my waist is like 40" but about 7 years ago wheni started getting fat, it was a 32". like..my midsection is strong but bulky kinda like a power lifter or something. is this just a natural function of my body and getting old or is it just an illusion and cardio will take care of it to make it flat again and not so bulky/hard?
assuming to keep up with my heavy squats, am i doomed to have bulk gut and my pant size will never go down? basically i want to lift heavy but am wondering if i should be focusing more on cardio than heavy weight to get rid of the extra weight.
