Ask your doctor. If he thinks it's a possibility, you'll get a genetic test

how fucked am I if I have it?
>>38567028
Normal dick and balls is how you know you don't
How long should it take to lose about half an inch of belly fat on caloric restriction, lifting four times a week, and running five miles once a week?
I had this shit appear out of nowhere and I want to get rid of it ASAP. Posted yesterday, but nobody replied.
>>38566904
3 months
Nobody replied because it's a stupid question that nobody could answer. All you need to know is that, with a caloric deficit, it will go away eventually.
Why do you need to know how long it will take?
>appeared out of nowhere.
No, it appeared over time but you didn't realise until it was too late, you got lazy and feckless and now you have to work much harder than you would have to lose fat you should never have gained.
Does lifting make up for being kazakh?
being central asian/turkic is the best thing you can be
>implying there's anything wrong with being Kazakh master race
Anyone here just losing weight with cardio and diet alone? If so why? What are your goals? Just curious.
Do you ever worry about looking skinny fat?
I just don't want to be a fat fuck anymore, I know lifting would achieve better results but on my schedule I can't fit it in, but I can fit in a half hour run every other day. I dunno maybe I'm just making excuses

I lost 80 pounds 3 years ago to the da
Started September 1st and by New Years I was 80 pounds down, I never went to the gym at that time and only ate at a deficiency
>tfw wide hips
Why even lift?
Congrats you have an exuse to only lift upper body.
Because wide hips + skinny, skinny fat or fat are all tied for worst.
>>38566765
this
get lats+delts and you're good
>Get into lifting as skinny/skinnyfat
>love it, go 3 times a week, dont skip a day. 6 months in now.
>start with SL, progress is too slow
>switch to SS, progress is still too slow
>switch to GSLP
>"yeah, those amrap sets are what is gonna help me finally! :D"
>deload bench and ohp, amraps are 7, 2nd time I do ohp amrap is barely 5
>randomly lose strength on squat, was progressing fine, arrived at 85kg, failed, 2 workouts and today did 5-3-0
>stopped DLing for week since I had (and still have) discomfort in my right lumbars, cant even 1x5 105kg
>Been eating at 3000cals, 185cm, 84kg, consistently, no junk food, alcohol, good sleep, stretching every day
Yeah, remind me again how it's a meme that some people are just not built to be good at lifting and how "ectomorphs" are a meme. Explain to me how linear progression is not a meme
Please do, while I laugh at you
>>38566739
You do know that some routines will not work for some people right ?
Eat and sleep more Faget.
>>38566739
3000 calories is under maintenance for you
Go for 3500 and 185 grams of protein, lanklet
And go back to SS
What makes you want to lift? Is it purely for the pleasure of it? Is it for girls/boys? Why don't you just be a healthy weight/reasonably strong, and leave it at that?
>>38566552
idk, feels good to look good
>>38566552
It takes my mind off of not being happy and wanting to die
For my waifu, and self-respect.
Also, I want to be a better role-model to people who look up to me
What happens if you consume too much calcium?
I feel like I've crossed line for safe levels of calcium consumption. I take vitamin D supplements in the morning that come with a 100% daily dosage of calcium followed by a big bowl of müsli and milk and then in the evening a liter of milk with my protein shake. Throughout the day I eat foods with a decent amount of calcium as well. Is this too much?
If you eat/drink too much calcium it can actually cause solidification of your muscles in a really bad way. Basically bits of your muscle will melt into your bone like roots and you'll suffer irrepairable damage to your movement.
Granted it takes a LOT of calcium, but I had an aunt with brittle bone disease who thought calcium would help her bones so just kept taking way over the maximum amount of calcium per day until she lost a load of mobility in her legs and kept falling. Sadly her fear of breaking her leg and going to hospital ended up being the reason why she couldn't leave the house.

It's some guy I don't know from a website I've never heard of giving a negative review to a book I haven't read

How fit do I need to be to start pulling in cute fatties?
>>38566422
Ask your dad how he got your mom
>>38566459

There are no cute fatties outside of photographs.
Rippetoe:
>Has not coached or produced any world record powerlifters or Olympic gold medal lifters
>Does not have a formal education in physiology
>Is not a successful fitness model
Why do we listen to this guy again
We dont, hes a meme
>>38566290
He mainly trains the general public but he has coach some athletes in his 35years of being in the business. All he cares about is efficiency. Theres no bullshit
He is pretty Rippetoe.
>No one tries to talk to me at the gym
>implying you should talk at the gym
Unless you bring someone or get advice then theres no other reason to talk faggot
>>38566233
What so I should just look at other people and judge them between sets and when I walk into the gym? Come on...how antisocial are you
>>38566282
Just stare at the floor or go check your phone faggot, unless you know someone/bring someone then you can talk because people are there to workout and not talk to you

what's the smartest way to get out of skinny fat?
maintenance with high protein?
cut ? bulk ?
inb4 you should lift
>>38565895
>inb4 you should lift
>"don't tell me the proper answer, gimme bs!"
So you already know the answer. Why start a thread?
Cut, Lift, high protein, reduce carbs, throw HIIT in for 2 days
>Also KYS OP
>>38565979
>HIIT
Not OP, but I wonder why people here never recommend stuff like circuit training... It seems like the perfect strength-endurance combo for cardio. Or would it fuck up your recovery if you lift heavy or are still a newbie recovery?
