Hey all, Just joined the forum so looking forward to chatting to you all and learning as much as I can. I've probably spent hundreds of hours watching youtube and I get the impression that Scott is about the only guy that knows what he's talking about, so that's why I've joined up!
I'm a 44 year old living in the UK and back in June I decided I'd had enough of looking at a beer belly, so decided it was time to do something about it. My plan was to cut as much fat as possible initially and then lean bulk to try to put on some muscle. I've been working out 3-4 times a week since June and I've not really gained much muscle (which I expected of course) but I wanted to work out whilst cutting to try to minimise muscle loss and loose fat instead. So, anyhow, it's now been 5 months and I've lost 34lbs. I'm 6 foot and I've gone from 189lbs down to 155lb - I think I'm almost back to my natural ectomorph self!, so do you reckon it's time to up the calories a bit and see if I can add some muscle? - I think I'm roughly at 15% bf, is that a good time to start a lean bulk or should I cut the fat a bit further first?
Thanks in advance for your help and wisdom, look forward to speaking to you all :-)
Here's a quick before and after! - how did I let my belly gut get to that point?! - arrgh!
