    Permanent shrinking fat cells

    Thanks guys. I'll try to make some blood test to find out if I have any insulin resistance (I think so) and then I might go for some supps you suggested. Also will give a look at ice packs therapy, but I knew in order for cold to kill far it has to be much lower than what our freezer can do

    Cortisol and insulin sensitivity

    Hey guys, i would like to do some tests to know my cortisol level and if I have any kind of insulin resistance. I've seen there are a few methods to find out, what's my best bet? I always struggle getting very lean and also gaining muscle mass, I think this could help me figure something.

    Ofc when I was 8% skinfold on that site wasn't 15mm, but still around 8mm. Already tried your solution, but not as big difference

    Permanent shrinking fat cells

    It's not really that.. If I pinch my belly fat is 4-5mm, while love handles are 15mm

    Permanent shrinking fat cells

    For me love handles are a nightmare.. Even when I go down to 8% they are still a little visible. The problem is that when I start increasing calories, the fat goes first in that area and it becomes really visible. I would be fine even with 12% bf, but this problem stops me from having longer...

    Are full body routine legit?

    this is an example I made following what he says about rep ranges and so on but workouts seems pretty long.. (this is just day 1, which is also shorter than 2 and 3, thanks to a few supersets). Bentover row 4x8 Pulldown 3x12 Incline bench 2x8 Sumo deadlift 4x8 SS leg extension+leg curl 3x18+15...

    Are full body routine legit?

    jts seems very valid in explaining reply ranges and so on.. Not very clear the schedule tho. this looks interesting.. The only issue with every full body workout It's weight guessing.. You have just a few sets to make them good

    Are full body routine legit?

    I've been always used to do bro splits, ppl, upper lower and so on, working out 4 times/week. After years I got bored and want to change a bit (also I don't have much time now) trying full body splits 3 times/week. Are those still legit for muscle gain in a natural lifter? I'm not even used to...

    Keto

    How do you guys reach your fiber intake during keto? For my size is suggested 20-30g but this brings you out the 20g carb limit

    Keto

    CKD stands for cycling keto diet? Like 7/14 days straight then carb load? From people on keto I've heard that once get used to it their gym performance don't suffer and have the benefits of a leaner bulk as ketons don't store that good like fat (which carbs does). I might consider it for next...

    Citrulline timing

    Is well known that 6/8g of citrulline helps with pump, but how long before the workout starts should it be taken? Some says 15 minutes, others says 1 hour. Personally I trust examine.com so I go with 40/60min before as for caffeine pills

    I just bought now's l-optizinc, Ive tried to take it empty stomach 1 hour before lunch but I started immediately to feel nausea. The day after I tried 2 hours after lunch and was OK, today I tried after workout and again had nausea. Why is zinc reacting like this? From readings it is supposed...

    Should I keep cutting?

    I'll try your advice from next week, let's see if it gets better! Even if I think once I'll start bumping up calories I'll keep with bulking instead of going back in a cut.. But let's see :)

    Should I keep cutting?

    I guess I have to reverse, increasing slowly my kcal.. And after 2 months should I jump back straight at 1800kcal?

    Should I keep cutting?

    don't you think 2 months of reverse just to start cutting again would be a loss of time?

    Should I keep cutting?

    I know I know.. The same question, but I'm really stuck with this decision. I've been cutting since April going from 184lbs (eating 2900kcal) to 165lbs today (eating 1800kcal). I'm 6'. Body fat dropped from 15% to 10%. My goal was to reach 8% but now I feel like I'm starting to lose strength...
