Prety much a perfect example of skinnyfat mode. Have you ever considered a water fast? It did wonders for me. I spent about 4 day without food, only drinking water and taking a multivitamin a day. Afterwards, I lost nearly all feeling of hunger and I only eat 1 or 2 meals per day.

I tried that before. I think I ended up going over a week. I didn't have access to a scale at the time, so I don't know exactly what kind of progress I made, but my stomach definitely lost some fat.

It really fucked me up though. The hunger wasn't really a problem, it was other things. I was just miserable for some reason. I don't usually get "depressed", but it really felt like there was something wrong with my brain chemistry. I think I was cognitively impaired too, I had a really hard time focusing on studying, I think "brain fog" would be the best way to describe it. I don't think it's something I should do again, and I can't afford to not be at peak mental performance right now.

Dude.

Just lift.

This.

>Skinnyfat

More like plain skinny with zero muscle. Too much fat is the least of his problems and fasting will only detract from his more serious concern of building muscle.

k, broski, u need to do some chest flies, beach press, incline press with AVICII (levels), decline cabble crosses praise kek, and AB RIPPR EX!!! SO yeah, just lift brah!

16-18%bf. If you cut just a bit more, and start lifting, you could get ottermode.

>beach press

Is that the pinnacle of chad-technology?

I dunno, I'd say it's more around 25%.

Its like you have a slightly fatter swimmer's body. The fat isn't an issue if you balance it out by lifting hard, since it's more about overall composition. So lift like you mean it and devour shitloads of protein. You'll see pleasing results within 2 months.

Either way, he isn't fat. If having a slight stomach and no muscles qualifies as skinnyfat, then we should reconsider what we qualify as fat. I don't even think his belly is that big, more likely his posture is just fucked from having an atrophied lower back.

I also don't think he needs to do a variety of exercises, he's at the stage where doing SS or SL will already work wonders. Although I would modify them from the get go. 1x5 deadlifts is fucking retarded and too little, 1x5 and then 1x3 or something like that would be superior. 5x5 squats is okay the first months or so. Linear OHP progression is a meme, you'll stall at 30kg or 40kg unless you're secretly Brazilian, OP, but that's okay. Feel free to add curls to your routine. Don't be a retard like me and do mixed grip on deadlift the first time you stall, my gymbro stuck with front grip and he's got stronger forearms than me and ultimately achieved a higher DL. Only do mixed grip when you max out. If you feel like you can do more reps, do more reps. I wouldn't increase the weight too quickly, but more volume is fine. SS/SL already have low volume to begin with.

Oh, I guess it might be relevant to mention I weigh 148 burger units, 67 kg.

One more reason why you shouldn't focus on weightloss

But cardio is so much more convenient for me than strength training. I don't have a gym membership or any equipment. Even if I could get those, I'm self-conscious about letting the people I live with know about it. It's just so much more easy and explainable to go for a jog or walk every day around the neighborhood.

>cardio

>self-conscious

We got here a closet faggot.

>>140288

Don't listen to this faggot. Bulk first. Dirty.

>>140430

And obviously lift while doing this

>>140429

How so?

>>140439

Technically I didn't specifically ask what I should do :^)

sorry

Squats, sit ups, push ups, pull ups, bridges.

Cossacks, alternating leg lifts, hs push ups (against a wall), chin ups, rolling neck bridges (wrestling neck training).

Alternate between these two groups each week. Do 50 of each each day; so 50 [squats, sit ups, push ups, pull ups, bridges] each day 1 week, then 50 of each exercise in the second group the 2nd week, and so on. To make it more intense do them faster or slower or change your form.

Each month add 25.

After 3 months change shit up, add exercises or change the reps so that you're doing more squats and sit ups or something.

GOMAD or just eat a shit ton.

It's ez.
