I am skinny fat. Have been for a long time. However I'm less skinny fat than I was 6 months ago when I discovered Coach Gregg on KZbin. I invested in a power rack and put the work in while also focusing on my diet. I'm 38 and work like 80 hours/week. I now weigh 1lb less than I did 6 months ago but my waist is 2" thinner, neck is a half inch thicker, and my arms gained about 1.5". Key is consistency and you don't always have to be perfect all the time but as long as you're trying to get better as you go along you'll be fine.

Tomorrow. Chances are, in 9/10 cases you won't get sick and you'll feel a lot better the next day, both mentally and physically. It's just that random weakness that wants to creep into our lives.

Coach Greg helped me change that with low calorie dense high protein high carb delicious foods that I can eat for the rest of my life. People ask me, “how do you eat so much?” And I say, “it’s not very calorie dense, but it’s filling because it has a lot of volume. I’ve grown 4inches since January of this year (growth spurt) and I’ve gained 14lbs of muscle and bone tissue (and probably water). I’m also leaner than when I started bodybuilding.

[@rachels7252]

You're starting at 1700 calories for a cut? That seems low to me for a male your height and weight. I will be starting a cut under a coach's supervision in February at around 1700 calories and I'm 5'2" 107 lb woman. I'm currently at maintenance, eating 2100 calories after reverse dieting since August, working out 3 to 4 times a week. My coach will have me working out more when I'm cutting. I don't look shredded like many of the female fitness trainers but I have decent muscle definition in my arms and legs, healthy body fat percentage with the exception of the muffin top belly fat layer. Getting defined abs is hard. Congratulations on the 20lb weight loss. Are you doing the cut on your own or under the supervision of a coach/trainer?

[@oofmaroomph4913]

nah don't use tdee as a reference point. remember u have neat (non exercise activity thermogenesis) and if u workout, u could prolly even eat 2000 calories to diet edit : I'm sorry I thought he's referring to bmr since he said "sitting on his ass all day"... but then if u want to increase tdee just be more active throughout ur life

[@rachels7252]

@@oofmaroomph4913 How do you input NEAT into the TDEE formula? Or estimate it based on if your job is sedentary or active? My coach will start me on a cut at 1750 or 1800 calories. I'm doing a slow cut which will take at least a few months. I'm a 5'2" woman so that's quite a lot of calories for a cut. I'm at 2100 calories and have pushed the maintenance calorie boundary to 2200 to 2300 calories. It seems like the original poster, a 5'10" man, should start at higher than 1700 calories as a cut unless he's trying to get quicker results.

I had so much trouble with how I looked for a couple years. I lifted a good amount in high school and maintained a good 115 at 5' 4" with just eating whatever. Then in college I didn't have access to a home gym and hated using the gym on campus, mixed with full access to the buffet and starting to feel self conscious about myself compared to other people. I picked up intermittent fasting which developed into starving myself and for about four years I was bouncing 100-130lbs, but never looking all that good since I lost all the muscle. There's so much advice out there about losing weight first and gaining muscle later since most people are actually overweight, but for me this advice made me miserable and was completely ineffective. This year I did intuitive eating and reintroduced resistance training for focused muscle groups, gaining about 15 lbs total. I learned a lot about my eating habits and which exercises work for me, so I'm excited to change up my eating and add a little cardio to lose the little bit extra and actually be able to work on compound lifts again in 2022. I just wanted to say all this because a little knowledge of nutrition and resistance training does a lot more than trying to starve yourself into the body you want as a person who's already normal or underweight. I wish I'd realized that earlier (or at least listened to the advice when it was given to me).

I normally go to the gym by myself so I’ve been holding myself back for a LONG time. I have a gym partner now, he’s been kicking it up for me.

He’s got my confidence up so much that we both got into the 1,000lb club on our 3 main lifts, though he’s taller and stronger he can easily get 1200.

I’m not too sure if you had pointed it out in this video but not having strength of the lower abs can make it look like your lower abdominals have body fat but in actual fact it’s that they are weak.

[@TimPJ]

If you lift weights for 6 days a week I'd probably say that you're training too often and not sending a loud enough "growth" signal to your muscles on your training days. What really helped me bust through plateaus like this was to switch from a 6 day ppl to a 3 days a week fullbody split 12-15 sets/muscle/week and really prioritize getting stronger in the 8-12 rep range. What happens if you train too much and not recover enough is that your body only focuses on healing and doesnt get the time to ADAPT. Healing and adapting to stimulus is very different Keep keeping protein high at atleast 1g/lbs/body weight. Prioritize whole foods and get sufficient sleep.

Its not magic, its just science. Get the calories right and train hard you will see progress. And only with time you can start worrying if you can maybe optimise something. Once you get to a bodyfat you are happy with then you can add some calories back in maybe until you are in a 200-300 calories surplus and if you are getting too much bodyfat overtime just do another small cut.

If weight starts going down, up calories, if weight starts going up quickly instead of sloely /staying still, lower the calories. Keep fats and protein the same and only up or lower carbs. Its easy enough once you get a hang of. Good food, enough protein, HARD training and it all comes together. Keeping weight arpuns the same while traini g hard means you are building muscle but also losing bodyfat because logically if you built muscle but you still weight the same the bodyfat must be lowered. Do thag untol you arent skinny fat anymore and then think of your next goal either shred or try bulk.

[@milkbread5036]

[@roonyq]

[@DraftyFlatulence]

[@Keegan-b2l]

t3 and test! welcome

[@breakthecycle5238]

It took me at least 6 months to finally get my body in an anabolic state. the grind is real if you've never lifted weights before

[@erebus015]

I'm a little less skinny fat than last time thanks to Coach Greg.

[@blacklyfe5543]

I don't have time to eat 4 to 5 times a day I eat 1 to 2 times a day

[@ziljin]

I'm just focusing on lifting weights cardio and eating lots of protein and fiber with long term goal of going from skinny fat to medium muscular

I love how he's screaming so passionately over his incredibly chilled and relaxed food clips 😂

[@novaplaya]

Awesome video dad Greg

[@Madchris8828]

Ive started taking all of Gregs advice and stopped training like a p**sy, eating better with more protein and more low calorie dense food. The difference is crazy. Even in a month my development is much better than before. I look and feel a ton better

[@milesrobinson1793]

Thank you so much for great videos like this. You are such a great motivator and helping everyone out there with your videos.

[@richardlukowski2559]

This is the best most informative video I've ever seen. A lot of amazing information in one video.

[@marcpereira3765]

I'm waiting too much too quick... Adding slowly calories to reach my goal more sustainable. This channel is amazing. I will buy the cookbook

[@david54780]

I used to be skinny fat (more on skinny side), started working out and bulking to build as much muscle as I could being a newbie. I ended up with even more fat but having gained a lot of muscle in the process I still look way better even at higher body fat. Building muscle is almost always the way to go no matter your condition.

[@JDRSBUMPERSTICKERS]

I hope some people that don't know you stumble along your channel!! Great video

[@hhhgryphon]

I think most of us don't know where we are on the spectrum, whether we are skinny to obese and/or weak to strong. I struggle with feeling comfortable and I am sure I am not alone. Good video!

[@milkbread5036]

this was so helpful, i thank you!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Ratkwad]

Has anyone seen the auto generated captions for this video, i laughed harder than last time!

[@joemotty9441]

Thanks Greg. Been waiting for this video.

[@hunterbidenparmesanimports5633]

Thanks for the advice coach ! It helps , I do alternating sets as well cuz I work late daily and can’t get up early cuz I have sleeping problems whose doesn’t help. I deff noticed when I was sleeping better I started building muscle way faster.

[@nikolaslavov3498]

Finally!!! I have been looking for this for years

[@JustSchramme]

Over the last 16months I lost over 42kg / 92lbs of weight. And while my body fat dropped a whopping 20%, I'm still consisting of over 35% body fat. I have never been so skinny my entire life, but I'm still so squishy.. I used to do 5 days of HIIT body weight training in a week, but the more I'm getting used to it and with less resistance due to not being as heavy as before, I'm stagnant in my progress. I pushed it up to 7 days of workouts and 1 active restday between and 1 rest days after, but nothing happened even then. Since fitness studios are still a bit unreliable atm, I got myself a set of weights and resistance bands and I'm back at 5 workouts a week. Hopefully I will see new / better results once the new year rolls around.

[@arkdova2710]

Good luck, mate. I'd suggest you minimize your caloric deficit for a while, but top it off with harder and harder weight training. You can still get extra energy from your excess bodyfat now, and to even maintain your muscle which are used to lifting a heavier person than you are currently, not to mention to increase them, you will need smaller deficit, and heavier stimulation. Two decent dumbbells should do the trick until you are at least somewhat muscular, but ideally you should look for a gym that you find more or less reliable.

[@JustSchramme]

@@arkdova2710 Thanks for your input. I didn't mention it before, but I'm already down to 1200cals per day, so I don't think I should decrease it any further. But packing in more protein and pushing my workouts should to the trick. I have those dumbbells that you can connect with an additional rod to turn it into a barbell to keep the workout a bit more variable. We'll see how the world is turning in a few months. If it's safe than I'll get back to the gym. If not, I'll expand my home gym and get a personal trainer lol

[@maxbremer903]

"You dont have a sixpack, youre not lean" Greg stop this bullshit man

[@fernunfiltered]
