Can Bulking Up Rid Me Of My Love Handles?

Whats a cankle?

when you have no ankles. Your calves are so fat it looks like you just have a fat bottom leg and then a foot. Usually overweight women have cankles.

Ahh, ok, I know what you are talking about. I never new there was an actual term for that, I just assumed they were fat ankles lol.

i will say one thing, this board is starting to look like other *cough* bb.com *cough* websites with the questions and replies on here. i'm sorry to the young guys, but i'd rather get advice from a guy that has been in the gym for as long as you have been alive.

and tough old man, no need to apologize, you could be there father for christs sake

The only problem is that there are way too many guys who have been in the gym longer than I've been alive who have absolutely no idea what they're talking about. No, I'm not saying that about Tough, but there are still plenty of them. I'd rather get advice from someone who knows what they're talking about instead of someone who's been doing it wrong for twenty years. But hey, that's just me.

You know what's odd? Foreman and I had an argument recently and it was because he wasn't sober, and now Tough said something that offended me recently, and it was because he wasn't sober. Today's lesson: Don't drink and post!

I understand what your saying about someone doing it wrong for 20 years. I do believe those type of people are not in it for mass but for exercise only which fuck is better then none at all.
Difference here is I always go for more strength and size. I know the proper lifting techniques but sometime even I pm Mr. Funk for advise. I have a lot of lifting experience but have never lifted in a public gym. All my work is done a t home. Saying that I also learn different styles to keep abreast of certain things.
It's the dumb ?'s that sometimes needs to be answered in a harsh statement. Anyone can ask something stupid when not researched. Most of the younger lads need to do a little more research and then if they can't find there answeres post them.
I do spend a lot of time researching. I've been lucky enough to be able to retire at an early age which gives me the advantage to spend more time researching when I need to find the answere to my own ?'s
I realize that i come on strong to the younger, but i'm not trying to insult them directly but want the to just think before typing something stupid. Stupid ?'s get stupid answere's and it's you young lad's that will have control someday of planet earth.
Some just need to use more common sense as this is a gift that we all have I hope.

Great minds do think alike.

I hear you bro.

Adults don't like being told they are wrong by someone much younger than they are.

It doesn't matter if it's about weightlifting. It could be anything, even computers, which most teens are in fact more knowledgable.

Then again, no one likes being told they are wrong.

Pointless post? probably so.

Actually, it is quite possible to lose fat and gain muscle at the same time if you are new, or totally deconditioned, to resistance training. Making sure your diet is on point will only amplify the results.

I think what people are getting at when they say that bulking might help is it will lead to a more shapely figure. That is, even if your midsection were to remain the same, your lats and shoulders would increase in mass and your body would begin to have that V taper that is so sought after.

It sounds to me like you probably should be bulking, and you are being your own worst critic when it comes to your midsection. Once you bulk for a while, and put on a decent amount of weight, you just have to be good about your diet and training and cut some fat while maintaining what muscle you have gained.

Exactly.

Strange you should mention computers... I have my own business building and selling computers to people.
