I hate my fat pad

Purjo has hit the nail on the head with his advice. Keep the weights heavy to maintain muscle mass and strength and let the diet and cardio strip off the bodyfat.

Like it’s been said before. The ability to maintain body fat lower then 5% depends on genetics and if one only has average genetics then drugs have to come into play. My friend Mike has 4% bodyfat doing the skin caliper test and when he uses the electronic body fat tester it can’t even read his bodyfat and just sez the word (error) whenever he uses it. He doesn’t have to struggle to stay super lean and is even bulking up right now weighing 200 pounds and his bodyfat is still 4%. So genetics is definitely a primary factor. Obviously Mike has super elite genetics for muscle building and fatloss.

I think having a bodyfat percentage of 8% to 10% is definitely a level that one with average genetics could maintain once reached. Also at a body fat percentage of 10% or lower this is where most guys will have visible abs.

Anything under 6% bodyfat will result in super ripped and shredded ABS if the muscle development is there.
Some guys can get away with having 12% bodyfat and have a sixpack depending on where they hold there fat but usually anything over 12% bodyfat and you can say good bye to the dream of having a visable sixpack until that bodyfat gets low enough.

True, genetics can be a absolute bitch and play a huge part in who you are, down to your talents and behavior. With your body, it will go where it wants to go. You can certainly fight it or offset it with muscle mass but genetics will be the deciding factor. Look at your family and see what direction their body is taking them. If they eat or drink excessively take that into consideration. My ex wife used to look at these slim models with long legs and narrow waist and think that’s what she could become with diet and exercise and poor commitment to both. It just wasn’t in her average height, medium build genes plus she used to eat the wrong foods, smoke and drink. It just wasn’t going to happen.

I’m 41 and I established this years ago and only recently used liposuction to treat excessive body fat accumulation. Unless you know for sure it is absolutely genetic, I don’t recommend it to younger guys that are still at their physical prime. In me, these areas never responded to exercise or dieting. For years I knew that these areas where absolutely genetic and looking back wish I had gotten them removed years ago. This now allows me to work out and diet consistent with my lifestyle and without the frustration of not being able to do anything about those problem areas.

Although it wasn’t a problem area, I do wish I got my fat pad done though. :) I’d look friggin’ HUGE.

Hahahahahah this is pretty funny I have the same problem and I do a very hard diet with weigh lifting with exercising my stomach and every day I check the fat pad every single day and yes I lost some of it because I gain length, as long as you have big stomach as long as you still have the pubic fat the only way to get ride of it is to exercise and to focus o your stomach I see result why can’t you see then one last thing fuck wiki pedia and these websites I am talking from my personal experience :)

By the way I wanna add something if you want to follow what am doing 100% you will see result just try it morning I eat 1 egg with 1 tomato and 1 slice of whole wheat bred toast, before gym one scoop of whey protein and 1 again after I finish gym and I eat after that 1 can of tuna with 3 slices of whole wheat bred believe it or not I lose every week 1.3 1.4 kilo believe it or not that much every simple week have a good time

Mk22267,
What the hell?! By my count that is only 900 calories consumed. From what I can tell you are seriously starving yourself in an effort to trim the fat pad. If you’re losing more that 1-2lbs a week and you’re not morbidly obese then you’re doing too much.

Speaking as a guy who lost 75lbs in a year and a half, I can tell you even though I lost 4-5lbs a week at times I lost a lot of muscle. You guys have to ease up on the diet a little and focus on the long term goal. I’m 235 @18% bf roughly 192/43, mathematically I would need to lose 25+lbs before I have a six pack. I know I have a bit of a thick stomach and a fat pad, but I don’t worry. I would rather lose a pound of less a week and keep my strength and muscle gains trickling in than freak trying to lose it all at once and end up looking like a skinny fat computer geek.

Guys, check your grammar and feel free to throw some commas and periods in to break up your posts. Makes in easier for others to read and understand. Thanks.

Co-sign saiyan, with the addendum that the longer you hold your BF at a level, high or low, the more you will reset your BF towards that level.

Also, of you’re shooting for a level of say, 8%, drive it all the way down to 6% and only then “slacken” up a bit— you’ll find it less painful to slip back to 8% from 6% than if you were to try and hold it at 8% only.

I’m a newbie and have asked myself several times over the past couple of weeks why didn’t I start PE sooner in life.. You know what the answer is? I wasn’t this fucking fat when I was younger therefore my penis was longer, it really is discouraging. But I’ve just gotta drop some fat. Then it will seem like I’m really gaining big from PE!

Forget about it. Just do your pe.

To be fair though, 10-12% is lean and you CAN see abs at 12%.

One thing for everybody to remember - 1 slice of large pizza (extra cheese and a few toppings) is equal to 10 miles on the treadmill, or 2 hours of serious weight training.

You can’t out-work or out train a bad diet, losing weight starts at the table first - period.

Actually to get the 10.7% bf where you can see a six-pack would require you to only lose 20 lbs. 235-20 = 215 with a fat mass of 23 —- 10.69%

You may be able to get away with losing 16-17 lbs and using an estrogen blocker to lose the likely 4-5 pounds of excess water weight you have (usually about 10% of body fat)

If you go to a 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight diet you can limit your muscle loss to less than 10% of weight lost; that would be about 2 pounds muscle for 20 pounds of fat.

Has anyonw tried Fat Pad Removal - Aqualyx Lipotherapy or another fat busting injection to reduce fat pad?

Instead of posting this question on several threads, start your own. As a topic it may take some time to get responses. Most of the guys that have worked on reducing the fat pad, including me have done it the old fashioned way. Proper diet and exercise.

Yes I have but no replys? It was movss to other things forum.
