    Unloseable fat?

    Is there such a thing as unloseable fat...I've maintained 15-18% bf my whole life and am finally trying to get lean, i'm at about 13-14% and there is this "pooch" of fat on my lower abs that is quite prominent that does'nt seem to be moving....is there such a thing as fat that you can't lose?

    I have that too.. I've never been "ripped" but this year it will happen.. Just stay with your diet and keep kicking the cardio up a notch every couple weeks.. I'm as close as I've ever been and it's cause I amped up my cardio.. just keep it up..

    there is no such thing as fat that you cant lose, however, you do reach a plateua where the body fights hard to keep the fat you have (especially the mid section). You just have to step up the cardio and be 100% with your diet. Post diet lets have a look.

    Hmm, I found that replenishing musle glycogen with that much carbs worked fine without overspill. The whole idea is that it brings you back to supranormal levels of glycogen storage (around 170mmkg as opposed to 140mmkg), thus making it easier to maintain muscle tissue and possibly add some....I have been losing around a lb a week, and strength has not gone down, so I know it works...and I did progress into the ketogenic diet. The only thing is everything is getting leaner except that area, last night was the only time I noticed it lookin smaller...maybe the extra bit of cardio is working now or something.

    if you have 3000-5000$ lipo is your best bet. I was amazed what happened to a friend of mine. He had the same problem, in good shape everywhere but couldn't get rid of his spare tire....he did lipo, and the next moring everything had disappeared. Also he was back in the gym after 1 week and could squat heavy and do everything else after 2 weeks...his scars are almost invisible (the most noticeable is inside the belly button), preatty amazing to see such a radical change overnight!!! So you can either suffer for months and hope to get rid of some of it ( for him even dieting hard and cardio for months would work just to some extent, as the spare tire never completely disappeard) or just loose it in 3 hours....After seeing what I saw I'd go for the second one...

    Well, thats not a bad idea, seeing as how there is only 2 risks involved.
    1.) Death from infection by having a foreign body entering you.
    2.)Death from Anasthesia.

    Not big risks, but still i'm anal.

    At this point I don't have the money, and I want to keep fighting the good fight. The problem is fat from lipo is even't permanent, recent studies on the subject reveal that your body regenerates adipocytes lost, not in the same area, but kind of randomly.

    Supplement with Yohimbine HCL, Gugglstone, CLA, and Clen .

    Should help with getting rid of the last ounces of bf you have left.

    ^^^True^^^
    Homeostasis can be mean to the bb'er. But you also have to listen to your body, enhance what works, and dump what doesn't. To add to Beast's cardio comment, be sure to cross train with different forms (steps, tread, bike, hills, rope, etc.) to prevent adaptation. Be sure to experiment with your diet. Don't just say I'm going with XYZ number of carbs, proteins, and fats…explore to find YOUR best combinations.

    Edward Deming, the father of TQM Total Quality Management said that it works so well because the system is constantly evaluated and regularly updated based on feedback. Be the same way!

    Why are people so afraid to work? Lipo is for the weak and lazy. Bodybuilder and Lipo are oxymoronic. Anybody can lose as much fat as they want if they devote themselve 100% to their cardio, diet, and training.

    If you get lipo for your lovehandles, you might as well start using synthol and get a bicept implant while youre at it. What a fuvking joke.

    Yohimbine HCL and Clen ? Is that safe, or is just to prevent a negative feedback loop (I forget which one).

    As for Magic I do change my diet around quite a bit, i'm going to come out of ketosis for a couple of weeks and diet with carbs, and then go back in to it.

    I am always frequently changing my aerobic work, evening during a session....

    also stats are

    190lb (carb ***leted, in ketosis)
    5'11"
    13-14%bf (Which I can never seem to get below)

    post your diet, if you cannot get below 13-14% the diet is the 1st thing to look at. you can take all the fat burners in the world and do tons of cardio but if your diet sucks your not gonna lose any fat

    Absolutely true. I struggle with area but in the end I surmount it through sheer will. As I shred up, I have you in mind PB - I'm looking to one-up you bro! I think I can and I'll prove it with pics or eat my words!

    most everyone says diet, take this, take that, never thinking about a different exercise that could target that muscle.

    Not true. With the right conditions, you're body has no choice but to use those stores!

    Targeting a muscle has little to do with body recomposition.

    One word: Wrong! No such thing as spot reduction. But that's what this board is about, becoming knowledgable. Good luck.

    I have really good abs and I've never done any ab work. Those muscles have always been there. You only see them when I get my bodyfat low enough and I do that through endless cardio and a ketogenic diet. They are coming in pretty nice now and my ketostix (which indicates ketone bodies in your urine) are reading purple so I know I'm burning fat).

    Helios is another great product for spot reduction.

    You shoot it sub q in the area where you desire localized fat loss, and with time fat loss occurs in that area.

    Great reviews have been given to the product, in many cases it has been used by many to get rid of their love handles.

    Only a select few carry it that are reputable and legit.

    The bros ive talked to that have used the compound have given it a huge bump, saying it works great for spot reduction.

    However diet and cardio must be spot on, but localized fat loss is noticable when the compound is used.

    Has anyone tried helios, I just got done reading about it.... sounds like there is potential. I have been dieting since sept., I tried everything (ephedra, cytomel , clen , yohimbe, etc), I was running for 45 min 6 days a week. The only thing that worked to bring out my lower abbs was dnp . Lipo would be best though b/c you actually remove fet cells instead of just shrinking them.

    you are dead wrong here let me fill you in from a section of arnold's book : )

    SPOT REDUCING

    For years scientists and exercise physiologists said that there was no such thing as spot reducing. Arnold Schwarzenegger, in his book, 'Encyclopedia of Modern Bodybuilding,' said, 'Exercise authorities tell us there is no such thing as spot reducing. But there is something that LOOKS like spot reducing'. He then went on to detail how it works in real life. He was right.

    It turns out that when you increase blood flow to a muscle group during exercise, the high level of adrenal hormones in the blood stream act forcefully on the fat tissue surrounding the working muscle. This increase allows the proximity fat ***osits to be broken down quickly and used as an energy source by the working muscle.

    An effective way to take advantage of this new information is to train the area or muscle group several times a day for five to ten minutes with a moderate resistance, pumping routine. This will work especially well for the thighs, hips, and a**ominals. A good way to get quick results for clients is start them off by training the body part they wish to reduce, and finish the workout with it, too.


    now do you care to revise your statement mr. your wrong. your the one that is wrong and is in need of updating your info
