rkt.india Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 :two_thumbs_up: 70 to 65. No muscle gain. I am still losing, need to hit 70. Want fat percentage to be as low as 15-18 with muscles, not skinny.

rkt.india Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 I have made one simple change. I work while standing. No more comfy desk chair for me. You have to be doing gym to achieve 15-18 % Yeah, I do gym, weight lifting that is why I gain muscles and cardio that is why I lost fat.
mishra Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 Yeah' date=' I do gym, weight lifting that is why I gain muscles and cardio that is why I lost fat.[/quote'] Gym is definitely best way forward. But for people like me, Who either dont want to go to gym or havent got time for gym, This work while standing helps a lot. I didnt had to do any change in my schedule at all. It was a bit of pain for first week. Legs hurt. But now its all right. Doing it over a year. Also I get issues relate to tennis elbow, cranking knees once i start some regime
rkt.india Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 I want definition . That requires a very low fat percentage 15 or below to get real good muscle definition. By losing fat with a very disciplined diet along with a combo of cardio and weights.
mishra Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 ^ From that image I think I am around 25%. If I loose 15 % of my weight I will have 6 packs :aha: Cant do it

Eating habits take the centre-stage here, and I for one find that to be the hardest part. I personally don't bother about it now. 20% is fine. Delhi mein na beaches hai na kuch...wats the point of shedding some healthy fat just to see some abs in the mirror?

rkt.india Posted May 23, 2015 Posted May 23, 2015 Hardest part is diet not even the exercise. Yes, diet is important at every point, especially, more when you want to get lean. Taking 20 to 15 is the hardest part.

Even if you are lean, you wont have abs automatically until you work hard on developing ab muscles which is a pain in the ass.

That will be the case when you are trying to emulate professional athletes or models. I personally never found it too hard to have a nice set of abs. It's just the fat thing that hides it partially. But I do agree that abs are quite overrated. Maintaining them requires a lot of pointless sacrifices.

Yes that is what happens and it takes a lot dietary discipline to make them visible.
rahulrulezz Posted May 24, 2015 Posted May 24, 2015 Went from 0 pullups to 5 :icflove: Now try doing close grip pull up. They are not only easier than your regular pull-ups but it's a great biscep exercise. Pull ups are primarily back/lat exercise but bicep is the secondary muscle group used in it. In a close grip pull-up, bisceps are used more than any other pull ups exercise but back is still the primary muscle group. So for ppl who don't go to gym, close grip pull is a great way of working on bisceps I always do close grip pull-ups at the end of my regular pull-ups :--D

Edit: A doubt...Do you usually extend your arms fully while going down in a pullup? This guy scooby(on youtube) who is great BTW, says it's better stop just before the arms straighten out and that is an unnecessary motion..

This guy scooby(on youtube) who is great BTW, says it's better stop just before the arms straighten out and that is an unnecessary motion.. I do the same. I never straighten the arm as that's basically the point where all the buildup gets released. Same with dumbells, I hardly ever go full motion.
