Im still not where i want to be, im breaking pr's strength wise but im still having a hard time losing the belly fat. This pic was 4 weeks ago im weighing in at 250 cold and no flex. Im eating clean about 4500-5000 cals a day.Constructive criticism is welcome. Its an improvement from when i joined in July. Stress from divorce and a job loss gave me a two year hiatus but im back on track and completely motivated.

Looking great brother! Considering the heartaches you've had to deal with you have still managed to move forward and make progress! That in itself is inspirational and motivational! Brawny, strong and powerful physique! Chisel away my brother and reveal that masterpiece in the making! Cut your calories, monitor the mirror and engage in some cardio! You possess a beautiful structure! +1 for getting back on track! Much respect always!
Thanks Theo, eloquently penned as id expect. I know i have a decent base and good genetics, i appreciate the honest feedback and i recently started training with a former bb thats still a monster at 49. Hes helped me reach some pr's and we were discussing diet and cardio tonight. Time to melt this fat
IN MY OPINION, Mate.
The belly fat is PROBABLY down to your calorie intake. "4500-5000", a day? That's some serious eating there to get that amount into you.
But you have an AWESOME foundation. I'd recommend you try making a new diet out, which obviously involves cutting out/down on the carbs and fats, post it up on the forum to ask for advice and you're going to get inundated with members wanting to help you achieve your goals.
Either way, +1 for the work you've already put in, Mate.
Thanks for the reply and knowledge its greatly appreciated. Ive gone no carb/ lo carb before and lost 40lbs. Gonna work out a new diet plan and see what type of feedback i get. I agree my caloric intake is more bulking but i can't get eat to grow out of my damn stubborn head.
Damn dude! When are you going to cut?
I know your a big guy but that amount of calories really seems along the bulking side. Clean or not your going to keep adding mass. Being clean you will continue to pack.muscle under a layer of fat. So begin cutting your calories back. Weather you want to cut a large amount all at once or slowly tapered is honestly up to you. A caloric deficit is a caloric deficit so just for comfort ide most likely do a slower taper. Intruduce some cardio get creative with your cardio so itsnot boring. Guarantee youll se results. Keep it simple bro. Good luck!
Calorie deficit, probably my best route. I hate the thought of cutting calories but im pretty sure thats the route im gonna have to take, i might introduce some fasted cardio for a few weeks and see if i can get the belly fat off. I have a friend that loves igf 1lr3 and says it wkuld work wonders for me but i havent done enough research to even consider it.
waltrIf you want to drop the belly fat fast cut your calories in half and don't change anything else
Im working on it, unfortunately im a fat kid at heart with this dysmorphic the more you eat the more you grow mindset.
