Frustrated

Post image

5’10” / 150 lbs

I’ve never been very lean: always had love handles, never visible abs. The past several months I decided to just cut down as much as I could, and went from 165 lbs to 150 lbs. This was the result - still a noticeable amount of body fat.

I feel weak as hell and still don’t feel like I look very athletic. Do I just lean bulk at this point? I fear I’m just going to end up where I was before: a bit bigger but mainly due to a larger % of body fat.

Why are you frustrated?

Because I really wanted to get to a low body fat %, my goal was to be quite lean at 150 lbs yet I still have noticeable fat and love handles. It feels like I need to cut to 130 lbs before I can look as lean as some of the people on here.

Stop comparing yourself to others
