Thanks for the comps. My buddy said that if I put on some muscle slowly bt eating 3 or 400 calories over main. that my body would fill out nicely. I am just scared. I have the nutrition down but this damn flab in my lower abs. I am to the point that I just say screw it. Lift like a mofo and get strong anf big. If everything i do always comes back to abs, then I have to change. I want to be a man, not a weenie always worried about abs. What kinf of rep schemes and sets do you guys perscribe for mass? I usually work with 6-8 but I think lately my form is suffering bad becasue I think that the heavier it is the stronger I get but my form might be going to shit.

Hey bro,

it may be some extra skin just sitting there because you lost so much weight.

Maybe if you gain a few pounds it will tighten up a bit? just a thought

Dude, don't worry about that flab. Sometimes, and it's likely in your case, that last bit of flab around the waist takes f o r e v e r to go away. I still have some of that too.

Your body just doesn't want to use that fat yet. I'm sure it figures it might be in trouble cause it's currently missing what looks like about 300lbs of body fat that it had before now. (Awsome work dude!!!!!!!! Be proud, you deserve it!!!!). Don't worry about that last bit, like jkurz said, "you can see your ribs". If you do a CLEAN bulk and add some muscle, that extra flab will slowly dissapear. Remember, the best long term weight loss solution is to add some muscle which burns more calories just sitting there.

Further, when you start to add some bulk to your upper body and legs (don't forget your wheels dude!) that flab will not be as noticable as is slowly dissapears. Just stay clean, lift hard, and sleep well, and as you bulk up things should improve.

That however is just my opinion and there are of course alot of them on this board.

Cheers.

Good suggestions, however, it's easier said than done.........being scared to get fat (esp. cause you were there) is normal and something very hard to overcome......I'm having the same problem so I'm of no use........practice what I preach, not what I do.......

Wow bro! Your before and after is incredible.. I tip my hat off to you for such an amazing transformation. Id have to say look in the mirror and decide for yourself what you want. If you want to gain more.. I agree with jkurz. Since your down from 290 I woudl start carefully packing on some lean mass where you want it.. Then when you are ready, go for the cut.

Awesome work bro!! I would say start to increase your calories by 500 calories at first for a few weeks... if you notice a few lbs a week of gained mass thats great and keep it , and if you not increasing in mass then up the calories, increase carbs slowly and i think the fat calories are fine right now. Keep up the great work and let us hear about your progress!
