Well what are your goals, height weight?

DrPepper · 06-14-2007, 07:37 PM

im 18.. 5.8 153 pounds and my overall goals is to just gain more muscle really and get stronger...i dotn have any specific gain goals just bigger in general and if i can lose some fat in the process

bro you cannot be that fat at 5 8'' 153 lbs. even if you have a pretty small frame.

so you want to lose weight, but eat big still? its almost damn near impossible to lose bodyfat and eat a bulking diet, unless your on juice. if you want to lose bodyfat, do some cardio and get your diet down by searching the forum and looking up a solid cutting diet. lose no more than 2 lbs per week. that way you minimize your loss of muscle mass. thats if you want to lose weight

however, IMO at 5'8'' ,153, you shouldnt be cutting. i highly doubt your to fat. get your BF checked and maybe get back to us. If i were you i might bulk even though its the summer.

search the forum for a thread on tihs. about a week ago we had one. i think we came up with 100 different reasons.

I agree with justlift you dont sound fat at all I would baulk if I were you. Even with minimal muscle mass you cant be fat. When I graduated high school i was 5,6 and 125 and very skinny. so if you are 2" taller then me and a little heavier then I was I cant imagine you being fat.......the sad thing is im still 5'6

however I weigh 190 now

5'6 same height as me, can be quite annoyin being short sometimes. But anyway Dr.Pepper you are not fat im 5'6 and weigh around 145 pounds and i am not fat, so i really doubt you are.

Doing alittle cardio while bulking is fine. In fact it is a good idea for many reasons.

i do cardio for 45 mins each day on bulk...all those calories will put strain on the heart eventually. 15mins a day on stepper or tread is good enough IMO...on a cut cardio will be more intense
