Hi ladies. I'm in serious need of some advice right now as I have plateaued pretty badly for quite a long time. Quick summary about me:
25, female, 5'10, 77kg (about 170lbs), I'm not sure about my bf% but I'm not cut or lean. Started weight training in Nov 2011, started doing strength training (5,3,1 programme) in Aug 2012 and am still continuing it. I am currently eating at 100-200cal ABOVE maintenance (so about 2200 cal altogether), with 240g protein, 150g carbs and the rest fats. My foods are mostly healthy things, salmon, grass fed steak, chicken breast, veggies, brown rice, eggs, and protein shakes. I take creatine mono as well. I do not do cardio and only weight train. My only supps are protein and creatine. I get about 7 hours sleep.
Before starting working out I was 85kg and very fat. Now I have much more muscle mass and less fat, but I simply cannot get rid of these problem areas: inner thights, butt and lower abdomen. I'm not saying that it's just a little bit of stubborn fat, it's huge massive amounts of fat that just isn't leaving. I don't know what to do about these areas as I have plateaued in my fat loss for over 6 months. I've tried eating at below maintenance (1600cal), fat loss training programmes, but I did not notice any significant changes.
What would you ladies suggest I do in order to push past that plateau? I am very focused on my strength programme, but should I change the accessory exercises to a more fat-loss-oriented one? The inability to get rid of the fat in these areas are seriously stressing me out!
Thanks for the help in advance
