Obtaining the "perfect" body

Eat less, head over to r/bodybuilding and look into cutting.

Quit eating like a fatass.

When I do bodyweight training, I get super lean and ripped. I follow a /r/leangains style diet, weigh my food and track my macros.

You're eating too much and not keeping track of it.

If you have too much fat, you need to cut. The best cut though, is extremely difficult but I'd expect extremely difficult and best to be an attractive combo to a red piller. Eat one gram per pound of body weight in the leanest protein you can possibly get, half a cup of vegetables, a multivitamin, and nothing else. Keep doing your lifts. A gram of protein has 4 calories in it so use that for purity. Protein times four over calories gives you the ratio. 99% fat free chicken breast has about 90% pure protein which is the vest I've found, plus it's animal protein. You'll lose a pound of almost pure body fat per day.

I've been doing this for three weeks, lost 20 pounds, and my lifts have stayed the same. The first three days are the hardest and then it gets easier after the first week. Don't go easy on lifting; force your way through it, especially in the early days. If you want to speed up fat loss, take bronkaid+caffeine+aspirin. This will really suck by the way, and your cognitive function will be much weaker while you cut. My online chess rating has dropped from expert level to about average and I'm noticing a lot of typos and awkward sentences when I write.

You can't out-train a bad diet, meaning "abs are made in the kitchen". If you've got a lot of fat, then it's time to lock down your diet and increase your overall activity level. In other words...

I strongly recommend concentric exercises in a high intensity interval training fashion. Examples are kettlebell swings and pushing a weighted sled.

Eating less combined with intermittent fasting and strength training has been shown to be effective in burning fat while maintaining muscle mass as much as possible. You're going to lose some muscle along with fat but if you do it right, you can minimize this. This website www.rippedbody.jp is what I've been using and offers a relatively simple, effective approach for the laymen.

Eat less sugar and starch, eat more fat and protein.

If you're gaining muscle mass, but you still have more bodyfat than you need, put fewer carbs into your piehole. Carbs turn to fat.

Google Gary Taubes.

Work out in the fasted state in the morning before you eat. Do weight training. Use circuit training in your weight training.

You are doing calisthenics and you think you are are getting too big?

I have been in the gym for over 7 years. You will never have the body you want. That's the rub. Once you accomplish one goal its on to the next one. It never ends. You are never done improving. And its a good thing.

Could find a personal trainer and ask them, they would have the most experience. It;s what I ended up doing. He's helping me out with a neat diet plan & workout structure to get me from 18% bf to 10% bf.

You might know these things but I'll just rearrange them a little

Muscle takes up much less space but weighs more than fat Muscle burns more calories then...fat (obviously) More muscle means more calories burned If you eat more than you burn it gets stored as fat. If you don't work muscle often enough it'll go away.

If you're at the strength level you want then do maintenance workouts (same weights, just less pushing for gains) but cut back on your calories. You'll need to do some math to figure out what metabolic rates are and adjust consumption for that.

Once you reach your target body fat adjust your calories up a little so stay at that % while maintaining your strength levels.

lmao you aren't getting "jacked" off of calisthenics, you're getting fat because you're eating too much

MyFamilyKnowsMyOldSN · 2015-04-14T20:55:05+00:00

If you want abs and a tone body you have 2 choices.

Eat less and cardio which will eat away at your muscle gains.

Or eat so that 80% of your calories come from proteins and do HIIT exercises. I use this http://7-min.com/ and bump it up to 14 minutes every morning and night on top of my normal workout.

Also if you play video games look up lumbar lordosis the direction your hip is facing may be diminishing the look of your abs to make your belly look a little paunchier than it is.
