How to lose Pot Belly

[tyrone_40]

Hi,

At 6ft and 152lbs i'm trying to gain mass but at the same time I need to lose that developing pot belly without hindering my mass gain. I heard that cardio (threadmill) is good but will prevent mass gain. I exercise thrice weekly using compound exercises.

Can anyone shed some info on how to get rid of that annoying pot belly.

Thanks

Why do you have a pot belly?

Honestly....beer? Love of fatty foods?

Diet.

Bulk, gain the muscle. Your body fat will increase, your belly too. Enjoy being fat for a while. Then you cut.

it's all about proper diet & nutrition, so basically this thread is in the wrong forum.

Oh I'm sorry I posted in the wrong forum. I guess I have to watch my diet.....

It's a combo of diet and cardio. An added comment about the diet... lay off the beer!

Its weird i have been getting leaner drinking beer instead of having shots. maybe because when i drink beer it fills me up so i dont eat the fast food and what not

Bigss, most of the usual alcohols (Whiskey, rum, Vodka, grain) they all have something like 80-100 Calories in each shot. and then you have to count in the chaser too. Man, i would rather do shots as well though. I am not totally sure on those numbers, but I think i read those numbers somewhere.

I heard that one can get a pot belly from lying down right after eating and not letting the food digest properly. Is this BS?

6' and 152 and your worried about losing a pot belly? I'd be more worried about getting blown away in a brisk wind.
Wait till your like me at 6'6" and 290 before you start worrying about your stomach.
If you work your back and chest to make them bigger and thicker your waist will look smaller!!!!!!

 

[jaim91]

Damn...6"6...You're huge!

HA HA HA, now thats some funny ass shit right there!! LMAO

As for the question, you can't lose fat and gain muscle at the same time man, you have to pick one and go with it. I would start lifting heavy and hard, lots of compound movements, and don't restrict the diet, just clean it up. Once you get up to a weight that is respectable then worry about cutting bodyfat and leaning up. If you are a buck fifty and are fat then your gonna have to cut to like 120 before you are lean, and I am sure you don't want that.

I'm 6'2" 265ish and I could use some cutting, but I'm not that worried about it yet.

Diet diet diet. I just started 35/30/35.

 

[jaim91]

Isn't that a lot of fat?

 

[Mudge]

Look at Atkins and you have some people doing 30/70.

Not to totally get this thread off track, but I think it's nonsense to group domestic and import cars together in one big lump. There are a lot of excellent cars on both sides. I love Trans-Am W6s and Mustang Cobras. I also love Lancer Evolutions and Supras.

There is no one that can deny the excellent potential of any of these cars. For example, the Supra has a ridiculously bulletproof transmission. People have put 700WHP to it without breaking it. The Trans-Am can run super low 1/4 times with relatively few mods because of it's huge engine displacement. Cobras might have even more potential because they are 8 cylinders and have forced induction (Supercharged). EVOs have a very high HP potential and handling potential due to it's 4 cylinder engine with an iron block, lower weight compared to 8 cylinders, and AWD launch/traction advantage.

Ya, but I heard the 70 part does crazy things to your heart!

Beware... It will catch up with you fast. One day you will need a wheel barrow to carry that gut around with you

Sounds like you should pretty much eliminate cardio from your routine for now. You could probably carry 50-75 more lbs. I am 6'1" 225, but I'm trying to refine down to about 215.

someone hear me out

I've got a strange problem in terms of body fitness. My body in general is quite fit. My upper body, arms, chest, legs, butt all seem to me in good shape and have no signs of fat to be worried about, however for some strange reason i have a bit of a pot belly. My friends even tell me that my stomache doesn't match the rest of my body, and its true. Why has this happened especially since i dont even drink beer (well i do, but once a month maybe). and if my diet was bad, then why is my belly the only problem in terms of oversized fat? someone help me out, thx,

by the way i also support import beer, try corona or carlsberg, if ur going for domestic, screw american beers, canadian beers a good bet.

a decrease in test production, gh output and a not so great diet can easily lead to the development of a pot belly as they all effect cortisol levels greatly...
