Getting rid of the inflatable tube around my midsection
ad
OK, I am fkn sick of it. How do I get rid of that love handle back fat? I am honestly not sure how. I am losing weight as of now but I see those are not going away while my stomach and other parts are shrinking. I need a good regimen to reduce it then kill it. I really don't do a lot of cardio because I am strength training but I do the occasional row machine once a week for about 20 minutes. Please help.

I have noticed a slight decline to the back fat now that I am killing my legs with squats and deadlifts now. I'm also noticing a faster fat loss as well. Who knew your legs carry quite a bit of fat?
Well, first u need a very high protein, low carb diet. I am trying to do the same thing right now. Its the only place I have any fat really left to burn(lower abs and kidneys). And in those specific places u listed are normally the last fat to burn off. In most cases.
I'm on day 22 of this and I have lost 4lbs of fat.
I've been training high intensity 6 days a week.
Separated my weight training from my cardio. Cardio I've been doing 30 minutes low intensity on the stair master. Trying to save my mass and it's working great. U wanna shot to loose 1-1.5lb a week. If u start losing more than that its probably muscle.
Another thing u can do is get sum skin fold calipers. Each week do a skin fold test and it will tell u exactly were u r losing fat etc...
aylmejorI'm just stating for maybe someone will research, but losing actual muscle is much more difficult than most think. Especially if on hormones. You may lose some glycogen retention. ( I think that spelling) but actual muscle loss doesn't really take place that fast.
I read this somewhere else and it was much more detailed but that the jist of it.
I agree. But, when losing fat and fat only.Especially in places that he mentioned. U want to slowly strip it off. Otherwise u r sacrificing ur hard earned muscle. And that's what you don't want. At least in my case.
Anyone can lose 5-10 pounds. Fast. Is it all fat ?? I would have to say no. U lose 5-10 pounds and the fat u were trying to lose is still there.
RustyhookerThat spot is tough for me as well. : /
The stairs 3 times a week for 45mins is the only way i get abs to pop.
Going to try this approach rusty. which level do u run it on? Intervals etc?
the stairs, my gym has a stair master. I'm going to try that this week starting tomorrow. Or do you mean stairs as in the ones we used to get up and down? lol.
AnonStairs are different than the stairmaster if I'm correct in what your referring to. Rusty isn't talking about the machine where your just pumping your calves up and down in a 4-5 in motion, he is referring to the machine that literally rotates a set of stairs like an escalator. Use that machine 3 times a wk as he instructed and you'll burn all kinda of fat
That machine is the best cardio machine in the gym and from what I've scene under used.. It's a killer and I think people are afraid of it... Lol... I love it, sweat my ass off!
I'll see if my gym has one.
aylmejorConsistent diet. Carb cycle. Lower back fat is bout the last place to go.
I can't agree more on the diet part. I just wish the back would also learn to let go.
aylmejorChances are you gonna have to diet hard try 4 weeks carb cycle. Keep protein high on low or no carb days. Do cardio at least 3 times a week. Maybe run something with a dry effect. Mast. Prov. Idk what u have experience with. I really like mast tho.
I imagine some is water. I lost bout 7 lbs in a week when I went on diet and I introduced mast. Abs came right out.
Foods I use to diet. Eggs. Eggwhites. Fish. I use talipia(poor) oats, fruit. Take dairy and breads out
my current cycle is a compound that does not have a high affinity to convert so I lost quite a bit of water weight. my diet is very low on carbs at the moment.
