Greetings und salutations all. Looking foward to the forums. I have been weightlifter for 12 years always with only protein supps. & vitamins. I am 5'10/225 for the past 8yrs. I am far from cut, thick and strong though. My genetics will not allow me to strip the last of fat in my mid section, I have tried everything , almost. I hope to learn from all of you who have the know how to tweek out my bod w/o losing the strength und size i spent sooooo long acquiring.( I'M NOT FAT I HAVE REALLY THICK ABS UNDER THAT LAYER OF BLUB!)

Welcome to the board..

I know what ya mean bro.. You got to get your diet in check.. Do some more research..

Depending on the rate you lose bodyfat affects strength. If you try to lose a pound a week, you shouldnt lose to much strength. But you will lose some. You have to sacrifice a little strength to get your bodyfat down to your desired level. You will look bigger and harder when you shed the bodyfat, just initially will you lose strength, but with a good diet and hard training, your strength should come back. Everyone goes through the ego trip about heavy weightlifting. You just got to decide whats more important.
