Problem thats really letting my confidence down...please help

[calstate23]

hey buddy, you are one the senior member on this forum so i thought you would be the best peron to help me on this.

I am 6 ft tall.. 86 kg ....and around 16-18% fat

Well i have a problem that's really making my confidence level go down.

I have been training for last 3.5 years now....i lost quite a lot of fat...gained some muscle.
The problem I have is there is more fat on my hips......there is not much fat on my abdomen area...but the ass is always bulging out from what ever i wear.I went on muscle gain diet that time too more fat was saturated on my ass(hips:P).

What can be the reason...i did a lot of cardio...diet....lost fat too but there is still fat on my hips.
Other this is previously when i was fat along with hips there was fat on my chest too....it has gone down considerably but still i am not getting the shape for my chest...still fat is there on my chest.
Please help. I have even done my hormone tests.Here are they:

Testosterone :788.3 ng/dl
Estrogen : 36.36 pg/ml
... whats do you think about these level.....is the estrogen level high so that it can cause more fat saturation on hips ?pls comment on the hormone levels

The problem isn't always just losing fat. There is a lot of times when there are lean guys and girls with six packs but their sides (love handles) are wide. Some is due do genetics but a lot of it is truly not hitting your side obliques enough. People can think they just can do sit ups and they will get a sick pack, well they will but it does nothing to actually structure the side of your hips.

By doing side obliques enough and hitting the right angles you can actually change the structure of your ribcage. Just like teeth, bones can be augmented if put under enough constant stress. There was a period in my life where I was injuried for awhile and stopped lifting and got fat. Having a big stomach and waist puts pressure on your ribcage and can actually augment the structure of the ribcage pushing it out and making it wider. This would also effect the way your waist and hips look as well. focus on really hitting your side obliques but make sure you are doing them perfect.

Once again, worthless information from an un-welcome, non-respected, toe stepping-on thread poster!

Once again, pointless comments from someone who actually knows far less then what he thinks.

My statements are definitely true and many people who do have wide waists is because they are not executing proper side sit ups correctly.

Even belts and such will help bring in your waist. For the guy who doesn't know very much here is a video for you and for him.

Watch this http://www.ebaumsworld.com/video/watch/899786/...And if that doesn't work just type in the woman with the smallest waist. Your ribcage can be augmented and it does have a large play in your waist size.

You will never cease to support my case, you are incredible! You are the same guy who less than a month ago said that you haven't worked out in years because you were in re-hab for a serious drug addiction and only logged onto this forum to keep your mind off of wanting to use. Stop surfing the internet to get advice from other people for people here who are getting help from real people with credibility.

Why don't you just tell people to go "Get you some Genetics, all the top pro's have the best genetics, so go get you some great genetics!"?

Do everyone a favor and stop posting, at least until your banned!

Uh oh Cal, now you got Nark's attention!

The biggest problem will always be fat. But it is a combination of all. There are plenty of people that are plenty lean with six packs but still have wider hips. Yes, Yes, some is genetics, but mostly its because they are not doing enough side obliques and they are also not performing them correctly.

You can be as lean as you want but if you only did for instance sit ups laying flat on the ground you WILL NEVER EVER achieve that perfect shape around your side hips. It truly isn't just fat loss.

This guy who started this thread is not 'plenty lean'... or in the possession of a 'six pack'.

Ergo, any comment addressing people who fall into the above categories have no relevance to:

Its not about replying or not. The fact is you put a thumbs down and sarcastically implied that what I said was incorrect. You just had to be corrected thats all.

In regards to the person on this post, the issue is mostly fat but my remarks DEFINITELY APPLY to the person in the thread. Why? Because the person can be 15% bodyfat with WIDE hips or they can be 15% with LESS WIDE hips. Therefore, the earlier the person starts the better. There is no need for the person to get down to 8% and then decide to start.

That would be like saying you can't start doing sit ups until you are 6% bodyfat. Start shaping the fundamental base of muscle and also bringing in the waist. This also includes helping to structure the ribcage which can give a slimmer torso from below the chest line down to the waist.

Good evening.
