Staying Lean...NO MUSCLE MASS

[KiDNotorious]

i've read around and ive only picked up a couple things, so basically before i do anything ignorant, ill ask a couple questions

- I have about 23% body fat, i need to get to 13% or lower. Im 16yrs old 5'6" and 125 pounds.

- I dont really care much for muscle mass, JUST ABS.

can someone please better explain the diet I should be looking at in a nutshell EX- no carbs, protein and such

thanks, for a newb i think ive asked alot of "repeated" questions

need pics? i just got off crutches and im out of shape

Do u think abs are gonna get you laid or something because i dont think the diet your trying to plan is going to be very healthy. You should do a balanced diet like the ones posted in jodi`s stickys and weight train your WHOLE body 3 or so times a week. Also you should not focus all your workouts on your abs since its a waste of time until you get your diet set-up.

I was 5'6 125 lbs in high school and had NO bodyfat. I was a stick figure. How did u go about checking your bodyfat %???

 

[HoldDaMayo]

sounds weird but... the quickest way to get to see your abs are squats... REAL... HEAVY... SQUATS... you might puke... you might fall over... BUT... you're body will be doing EVERYTHING in it's power to adjust... combine that with a low carb, high protein diet and about 3 days of cardio and you're SET!

Ya i weigh 130 right now im 5'5" and i still look like a stick ok a stick with big muscles but thats nuts man.

sure hope its not, im gonna try that online BF calc....

but im tellin you, my alpha wiegh in results came in at 23%, a lil under lik 22. something...

 

[PreMier]

Go to a gym and have them test it... Or you can PM Prince and buy some bf calipers

 

[KiDNotorious]

i had the pinch test done on me in wrestling, and the online calc said 22.62% waist size about 33, could be 32 i didnt measure too accurately... yet i am still

 

[PreMier]

Maybe you arethat fat then... Like a giant marshmello hehe

 

[KiDNotorious]

when u talk jean size, lik 35x38 or sumtin, is 35 the waist or hieght?

 

[HoldDaMayo]

35 would be the waist...

 

[KiDNotorious]

im currently wearing a 30 waist, and they real loose, belt needed loose....?

 

[KiDNotorious]

i feel like such a newb

 

[once was fat]

Dude I looked at your pick and like mayo said there is now way your that your bf is that high. Plus your waist size is a 30. There is no way. My waist size is a 34 and im just under 14% bf.

Yeah, no offense, and I know you are young, but alot of women in whup ass shape weigh more than you do. I would expect a 5'6" woman to weigh about 130.

About the only high school poundage I can remember was being about 5'7" 155 or so if I recall correctly, which is nowhere near big. I probably never got over 185/190 or so in my senior year but its a haze now.

Well dude thats the problem, accuracy is a must. Not only that, but it takes a person with some experience to do an accurate job of testing bodyfat with calipers in the first place

Mudge are you talking to me. Are you telling me I'm fat dammit!!

j/k

 

[Mudge]

well I figure as about a minimum, 130 sounds good for a 5'6" woman. I find that most women dont weigh that much less than men, 10-20 pounds seems to be quite normal, which isn't that much.

 

[Uthinkso]

Yeah something sounds a foul here. I would go to my local gym and get a test done by the trainer there.

Oh sure, go ahead and insult all us ectos! I eat like a damn horse, and am stuck at 5'7, 140 lbs.

Don't make me cry in my GNC whey, it might actually end up tasting worse!

BTW, if that dude has 23% BF, then I'm Queen Elizabeth - wrinkles and all
