Hi Martin,
Sorry I haven't been around in a while. Hows life?
For workouts... You could switch to an upper body lower body split doing weights 4 days a week, 2 days of upper body and 2 days of lower body. You could also switch up your reps and sets. Try 5 sets of 5, 4 sets of 6-8, 3 sets of 12 or even 10 sets of 3 (with heavier weight).
Your meals today look good. Dinner needs protein. Could have thrown a few eggs in there or something.
Hope all is well!
Cassie

Re: Fat Around Button Area?
Thanks Cassie all is well, however few problems, such as i have driving test 2 weeks tomorow, and instructor has decided to go back to work after 6 years, full time, which limits me to having lessons only on weekends and sometimes in the evenings. test is on a wednesday so he can't cover it, which gives me 2 choices, try and keep changing test date for a weekend, if i kept looking could probably find one soon, but for example if i went on there now and looked, the next test date is august. So unless i want to switch instructors and learn in a new car now 2 weeks from test im in a awkard situation, don't need this hassle what with exams at college and all too.
Day 280
Breakfast, few handfuls of porridge oats with semi skimmed milk, protein shake with semi skmmed milk.
Break and lunch, chicken pieces in sandwiches with peanut butter (2 of the slices was normal white bread as i ran out of wheat bread)
Got home, some more chicken pieces.
Now im confused what to do, done a bit of brisk walking today as been college and legs are aching a little from wearing boots all day. But i was going to do 1hour cardio, however when i got in and took top off, mum said i was looking thin and asking if i was eating enough. Now i do want to get a bit more muscular (pecs, back, maybe legs) but im still worried about this fat as i don't feel comfortable.
Also about the pics, maybe i could change the routine, however with lower body workouts id prob see myself just doing sets of squats and lunges. I don't feel chest is big enough to fit in with body. Obviously i can't skip cardio, but i still want to sort abs out as im not comfortable taking top off, and a major reason for that is because of nipples size, there stupidly bigger than everyone elses and it really makes me uncomfortable (unless there cold and shrivled up).

Re: Fat Around Button Area?
Hi Martin,
Wow the driving situation stinks. If I were you I would try to get a weekend test date and take that test. This would allow you to get it over with quicker and you wouldn't have to switch instructors. Thats what I would do anyways.
Meals look good. You need more veggies and fruits.
I woulf focus on gaining muscle right now Martin. I think you're too focused on the " fat". Work on gaining some muscle. You've said several times that people make comments about you being too skinny. I would put all energy into building those muscles up. This means 1-1.5 grams of protein per pound of body weight and adequate calories, and HEAVY weights to force those muscles to grow bigger. For the exercises you might alter your reps to 5x5, 4x6-8, 10x3... heavier weights, few reps more sets.

Re: Fat Around Button Area?
I know, mum and dad keep saying id just change instructor, he's useless and that even if i got a weekend test he would end up saying he couldn't make it and ruin it for me? This is easy for them to say, i feel if i change now with only 2 weeks to go it'll really pile on the pressure, however i do need a few more lessons and maybe mock tests before test! Maybe i'm going to have to delay it 
About the fat, just did 41mins cardio on the exercise bike, last 10mins i went pretty fast, maybe because got into it with the music i was listening or because i knew i was getting off, burned 717 calories, even if it's half that still pretty good? Considering i been college too so done a little exercise there.
Maybe i should work on adding muscle, i do normally do high weights though, like 6 reps, however for bench press can now do 10 reps of 50kg

It's just a really annoying feeling feeling that stomach is always big, just don't get it, may be skinny on some parts, but feel fat will never go, maybe im just not ment to have a 6 pack, still, long as i can look good, did u get a chance to look at those pictures by the way? I know they aren't too good.
I was going to phone brothers instructor to get some lessons, but i really am unsure of changing instructor, really quite worried as it's only 2 weeks, sorry i know it's not your concern, just looking for some advise as it's easy for mum and dad to say just change he's useless. Ive sent him a few texts, he last got back to me sunday, saying he'll try his best but can't gurantee, nothing that he would try and sort a date out with the DSA (driving standards agency) test date. But he hasn't got back to me since then and ive sent him another text since that one.

Re: Fat Around Button Area?
Day 281
Breakfast, protein shake with semi skimmed milk, bowl of wheatabix with semi skimmed milk.
Been snacking on chicken pieces through the day.
Did workout, but had alot on mind lately, mainly about driving lessons/instructors/test. I know it's not an exscuse but been bothering me, plus saw a deter-monologist earlier, said i got hackney, mainly on back but it's on chest too. And just went to do workout, wasn't sure what to do as i do need to make a routine, like you said and gave some examples, however went out there without much though or planning, did 3 sets of 6-7 reps pull ups beforehand.
Did 20kg dumbbell press 10 reps
then 22kg about 8 reps.
Then did 2 sets of dumbell flys, but could barely manage 3 reps.
Did a set of shoulder shrugs.
Bent over rows 3 sets reps 10 each arm.
Just really didn't do good as i didn't plan it out. Plus sun was on me and you get hot from working out alone let having a hot sun on you. Plus talking about driving and stuff inbetween just couldn't get into it, which is a shame.
Still, im eating well which is the main thing, as i remember before not getting enough protein and all, now i have the right kinds of foods. I know i have to lift heavier, to get bigger muscles but like 3 reps of dumbbell flys, it's got to be comfortable, not barely struggerling to do one. I dunno if this has anything to do with it but lately been getting a dry cough and feel a bit chesty, could be hayfever.
I know it sounds like im making alot of exscuses but just can't think properly lately and alot going on, however i don't want to give up as it's been a waste of a year or so, made some small changes, but changes none the less.
So, tomorow cardio, gets boring but il try to do 40mins cycling?
Friday
Upperbody?
Bench press 50kg 3 sets reps 10
I just dont know, i need to work chest and back mainly, arms are alright, that intermediate routine i posted before seemed good, but every day after the workout, it said 20mins cardio, id be doing cardio everyday then and i thought i was going to do it 2/3 times and weights 4?
It's getting repetitive which is why im losing interest but i do want to gain, bigly aswell, summer is not far away. I hate feeling "not all there" as often as i do.

Re: Fat Around Button Area?
Hi Martin,
Looked at your pics. You really don't have much fat at all. Most of that is skin. If I were you I would focus on building muscle. Ive provided you with links to some solid workout programs in the past. Go back and find the thread and take a look at the programs suggested in the past. I really don't think you should be too concerned with your fat Martin. You have a nice body and you've definitely made progress since the last time you posted pics. You're too hard on yourself!!! Give yourself a break man. You're making awesome progress. If you're looking for VERY defined 6 pack abs you're really going to have to get serious about the diet side of things... this means weighing food, tracking and journaling calories, and calculating macros on a daily basis.
Instead of 40 minutes of cardio why don't you do 20 minutes of intervals? Go as hard as you can every other minute. This will be more intense and you'll get it over faster.
If you did upper body today and you're doing cardio tomorrow Friday should be lower body.
I'm sorry you're having issues with the drivers test. Wish I could give you the answer there but really don't know what to advise you to do. You could try phoning your brothers instructor. That might work for you!

Re: Fat Around Button Area?
I'm glad i could help Martin. You really have made great progress (even though you don't see it!) and you should be proud of yourself. I don't know what you're seeing when you look in the mirror but you definitely shouldn't be ashamed of your body or your " fat". Keep up the good work and good luck with the drivers test issue. It will get worked out... try not to stress over too much.

Re: Fat Around Button Area?
Thanks, hopefully everything will work out.
dAy 282
breakfast, porridge oats, with semi skimmed milk, and a scoop of protein powder.
Did 20mins carido intervals, was just going to go fast for the whole 20mins but got out of breath after 3 lol. So then did 1 min/ slow steady 1min fast, til the rest of the 20mins was done.
Shopping is now here so restock on food, just really need to work on building pecs and back, as they don't look right with rest of body, but il stop here as it seems im complaining lol, somedays pecs you can see have a bit of muscle, others none.
Pack of muscles seafood, 150 cal, 28g protein, vitality yougurt and few bits.
Dinner, salad, jacket potato, few prawns, and a few beef skewers. (110 cal, 10% fat cant remember the g,) and about 8.4g protein. And i must stop picking at bits lol. I think it could be down to being bored, but got to get out of it, picking at things, even if it's healthy stuff, don't want to overeat, ment to be gaining muscle and looking ripped for summer.

Re: Fat Around Button Area?
Day 283
Breakfast, protein shake with semi skimmed milk, bowl of kellogs bran flakes with semi skimmed milk.
nutrition is alright now i believe, just workout i need to work on, where im trying to mainly focus on chest and back it would be senseibile to do them, but of corse i have to do lowerbody too. Arms get worked from doing chest and all the exercises anyway?
So today, i think il do, maybe 3 sets of pull ups (door pull up bar) before i go down to the garden shed to do the workout, usually do about 6 reps per pull up set.
Then, maybe do bench press, might try a bit more weight this time, or just do 50kg 3 sets reps 10
The only back exercises i can mainly think of is dumbbell rows, or just rows/pull ups. Need some to focus middle back too.
Going to look back at first page for some exercises.
Had a refresh but most of them are ones im doing, or i know of, incline - ive tried to adjust bench press with spanners but it's so stiff on all the bolts it wont move at all, perhaps it's crossthreaded? Is flat still good? I guess i do need a new bench press but will try workout today and see how i do, by the way about having an aching pain when i lean forward in the middle of chest (middle of pecs) is this normal? I mean i dunno if it's where chest is developing or something, but every day im getting this pain and im getting concerned as it's near where heart is.
Little bit of chicken pieces before workout.
Workout 54kg barbell bench press about 4 or 5 sets reps 6-7
tried dumbbell flys 20kg each but couldn't manage them, did like 2 sets of reps 2-3. I dont get how i can flat bench press 54kg with no problems and cant flat dumbbell flys 14kg lower weight.
Anyway, 20kg dumbbell rows 3 sets reps 10 (bent over)
dumbbell press 3 sets reps 6
standing shoulder shrugs/rows 3 sets reps 8
3 sets of lunges reps 10 (5 per leg)
Now although this isn't alot compared to normal workout, i still found it hard, may be due to getting a cold? I keep coughing at night and early morning, but still, wouldn't of thought id be finding it harder, if anything easier. However saying that, i remember i think last may, when i was around a friends and it was hard for me to bench 30kg 10 reps, now im doing 54kg, so some progress, and i watched a video earlier that strength gains before mass, so hopefully mass is coming, plus i remember when i first got door pull up bar, could barely do 2, now can do 6 and 7s. Only thing bout door pull up bar, is your limited to how far you can expand your arms, and that it's in the house when weights are down the shed.
Maybe i need to buy some more equipment? A new bench press? Maybe i need to do incline to gain pecs?
Anyway, now might have a can of chilli con carne, believe its 360 cals, 20g protein, 48g carb and i think maybe 8 or 10g fat.
Bannana, pear, kiwi.
Been snacking on peanuts, had can of chilli con carne with whole meal bread.
Feel really bloated though.

Re: Fat Around Button Area?
Day 284
Breakfast, protein shake with semi skimmed milk, bowl of bran flakes with semi skimmed milk.
Lunch, had half a can of beans, and some olive fish i believe, (yellow fish) so quite a high protein meal here, possibly around 50g, and 400 cals - had a slice of wholemeal bread with it.
So once the food has gone down a little il do another workout as you said to do 4 times a week, and to get the most out of that high protein meal.
Workout, tried to do bit of arms and shoulders as did back and chest yesterday?
Workout
2 sets of chin ups reps 10 and 8.
1 set of pull ups reps 6.
1 Set of push ups to failure.
dumbbell shoulder press 3 sets reps 6 each arm, 16kg dumbell weight.
3 sets of dumbbell curls reps 6-7 each arm, did 1 set dumbbell shoulder press, 1 set dumbbell curls, repeat.
Then tried doing side raises but couldn't with 10kg each dumbbell weight - bad?
So did shoulder shrugs.
Then layed on flat floor did 3 sets dumbbell press reps 10
3 sets squats reps 10
3 sets of lunges reps 10
3 sets of ab crunches.
I know this doesn't seem like alot at all, but it took about 1hr 30mins. I just don't feel im doing enough? But i must be? I dunno, but again about pecs, chest is hurting again and it's always in that middle area, not like top of chest side etc. Is this normal? Could it mean chest is going to develop over time? Or maybe it's a problem. I was hoping theyd be divided by now, i mean like you can see there pecs but hey il have to keep going i believe im eating fairly well.
Had a bannana after.
Just a quick question, is it a good idea or not for me to eat peanuts?
Been eating ocean sticks, peanuts, kiwi, bits of chicken etc.
May be going out later for a drink as i haven't been out in a while, prob not a good choice in terms of working out and all but i am 18, should enjoy myself a bit i suppose.
Feel fat again as it is but i dont normally drink so im pissed out of head, and il try to make up for it tomorow by doing some cardio even though it was going to be a day off.

Re: Fat Around Button Area?
Peanuts are generally fine. There is sometimes an issue with mould and Aflatoxins, mainly from ones grown in the East, so if you're concerned about that eat western grown, I.E. American.
They are very good for Protein, Carbs, healthy Fats and other things besides, so they can be part of your diet yes.

Re: Fat Around Button Area?
Thanks for clearing that up it's just i dunno what to do as im unsure what progress to make lol
Saying that did go out last night drinking, felt bad when i was doing it as i was thinking i do really want to make progress and look good with myself for life, however i am young and did enjoy myself but of corse it came at a price. I had a can and a bit of carlsberg, pint of carling or 2, jack daniels and coke, and a bottle of budweiser.
Im confused though because you sometimes even see people that look as if they workout drinking, so is it really that bad? I guess what im asking is, even if i was to go out say once a week, would it make much of a difference? As you can see it's not like i was binge drinking. Now, the weather aint too hot, it's a bit damp and wet out, i was going to go for a jog at 9 this morning but i don't think it's the best idea after a bit of a hangover, plus i would of had about 5 and a half hours sleep.
So if i just do cardio today, probably won't be able to do it aswell where im tired but if i cycle for an hour hopefullly it'll make up for it. I know it seems weird saying i really want to progress when i went out drinking, but i hadn't been out for about a month and was getting fed up indoors, and i did enjoy myself. So yeah, at first when i was drinking i was really thinking, i just want to look good instead of looking slightly skinny with fat and undefined pecs, but im really determined to, probably won't do cardio as - well today in doing it good or bad, but il stil try and cycle for an hour?
I really want to get big. Not huge, but big - pecs and all.

Day 285
Dad made a fry up for breakfast, but i just had some of the beans and a small piece of bacon, not the fatty bits, had a bowl of bran flakes and a protein shake with water.
Decided to go to the park for a jog, did 5 laps of the park but on the last one took a bit of a shortcut as i was finding it very hard. Stopped after each lap and rested though but in total done about 33mins jogging and 5mins walking to the park and probably a little more than 5mins walking back as i was tired (walking slow) only thing is stamina i don't think is too good, obviously the first lap wasn't so bad, but i just got out of breath really fast and takes a while to get breath back. Haven't done a jog for a long time but that killed me, was hard, alcohol probably didn't help but hey i done it now and it's got to be better than not doing it at all, i really want to look good so im going to do what needs to be done.
Can of tuna after. 2 Slices of wholemeal bread.
Think i got blisters now
Still hungry, snackin on some greens, peanuts, ocean sticks, wholemeal bread, protein powder.
However dinner being cooked - shepards pie, now this is good for you right, however it has more fat than protein value in it, so im going to have a small piece and not a full piece.
Yet, he done me a full piece but didn't eat it all, mash, cheese, beef mince, carrots, onions etc all mixed.
Not terrible i suppose, just hate having a hungry feeling and notbeing able to get rid of it.
