can change your metabolism to some extent, slowly over time.

exercise, eat healthily. do some research, keep it simple

>>143081

most important, be consistent and persevere, don't expect quick results and don't look in the mirror every day or even week.

forget about the mirror and focus on your exercises and make it a strong routine. always at the same rough times, after a few weeks it will become natural.

>>143081

Heres the answer no one is gonna like:

a) GOMAD and SS makes skinnyfat worse or you can simply become overweight too.

b) Gyno can only be reduced by SERMs like raloxifene and lowering bodyfat. Surgery is a permanent solution but even then it's not risk free and make leave scars. Its expensive as well.

c) Large hips can be due to stubborn fat yes but also due to the physical bone growth.

d) Skinnyfats have low T, poor ability to put on muscle and will gain fat before muscle. Can they cut or bulk?

I have improved my skinnyfat body over the course of two years by:

Heavy lifting on compound lifts (OHP, deadlift, squat, and bench. As well as barbell row). High rep/volume at the end of the workout on triceps and biceps. And lateral raises, chest flyes and pec dec. Weighted pull ups(I do chin ups instead though). You want a mix of a traditional bodybuilding program but heavy sets as well. So I recommend Greyskull LP.

To counter low T honestly I take TRT and for gyno raloxifene (they no longer sag like an old womans banana tits). Still have stubborn fat but big arms and a V taper.

I also do alot of push ups, chin ups and situps through the day. I avoid doing back squats. Front squats and zercher squats.

My quads are big I hardly work them now.

>>143083

I bulked from 175 to 210 over two years. I am cutting now for stubborn fat around hips. I take yohimbe for that now. But switching to T3 and clen.

I honestly believe someone who is truly skinny-fat and not simply fat has a low testosterone level. Most people who are fat and have healthy hormone levels have a relatively good amount of muscle mass and could simply go on a diet and look good.

Someone skinny could simply eat more and lift.

Skinny-fats are somewhat stuck, they are like Sisyphus, constantly working their way up only to go back to zero after it.

If you gain weight you simply gain a bunch of fat, but if you try to lose weight you will end up as a skeleton.

>>143086

Yes you are right. That's why I gave up being natty

>>143042

Skinny fat is just sedentary combined with bad eating habits. That guy has gyno which is a whole nother ball game.

>How many Skinny-fats could recover and become actually big?

could?

its not even a question of could…anybody can increase muscle mass over a long period of time while slowly burning more calories than they ingest…

>>143083

couldnt you just do a cutter combination of ephedrine and caffeine and do burnouts on all different chest motions such as incline and decline?

>>143193

I'm not promoting steroid use but I have no reason to lie about it. Decline targets lower chest and can be a dangerous movement especially for beginners. Lower chest if your tits sag low will push it out. Incline chest flyes and incline bench press and alot of push ups. Do close grip bench for triceps as it also targets the chest a bit so you sneak in extra work.

Strongfat master race.

That's not gyno you retard.

Almost all of them could at least achieve a decent physique. Think about it: That they could not become stronger means not just that they are naturally weak, but that they have reached their genetic potential by sitting around and doing nothing. I find that very hard to believe. Not everyone has it in him to be an Ed Coan if he tried - although very few people train half as hard as he does, and it's better to assume that is the reason and not muh genetics - but I refuse to believe that anyone, outside a few pathologic cases, could get strong by normie standards. I think I've read somewhere that a 315lbs deadlift puts you in the 20th percentile concerning strength among males, so while you're still weak for powerlifting-standards, you are quite strong for a normalfag. With a 400 or 500lbs deadlift, you'll probably be the strongest person you know, unless you go out of your way to make buddies with strength athletes. And these levels are very much attainable, if you stick to it for several years.

>>143086

>I honestly believe someone who is truly skinny-fat and not simply fat has a low testosterone level.

That may also be a consequence of not working out, though. Squats and deadlifts raise T like crazy. And even if your testosterone is naturally low, you can become relatively strong, as even women can become somewhat ripped and strong by training hard and low t is literally in their genes.

>>143238

This tbh. It's a chicken chest but not gyno.

>>143080

>People who get stuck in the squat and deadlift heavy mentality often transform into one-dimensional athletes who sacrifice everything in the name of higher numbers. Barbell addiction could be one of the worst things that could happen to a skinny-fat boy because you will never lift heavy weights unless you are heavy yourself. To remain heavy, the skinny-fat warriors overeat and lie to themselves that they are lean.

I do see that happen, people doing only the Big Three and nothing else and thus ending up with a relatively poor overall strength. The thing is, though, that if you lift shit, you get stronger and build muscle. Like I said, you may be weaker than expected and look worse than expected, but I dare anyone to find me a guy who squats 400lbs and does not seem strong like an ox to normal people. Even if he may look fat, he won't look skinnyfat.

Keep in mind that a physique that's unimpressive on instagram can make a good impression IRL, both because you don't instantly compare the guy to professional powerlifters and bodybuilders, and because some things just aren't conveyed in pics. You only see that his upper arms are badly proportioned and lack definition, but you may not notice that they are bigger than your thigh.

None of this will help you if you want to become a professional bodybuilder, of course, but face it, not everyone needs to compete with them, just as not everyone needs to strive to be the next da Vinci or Leibniz if he wants to read books. Becoming a regular strong guy or smart guy is already respectable, if you then know your place and don't tell Coleman his squat form is weak.

As already stated skinnyfats can become skinny and be for "normie" standards good looking. But a skinnyfat will never be buff naturally, they will just like a woman simply get fat without much muscle gain.

Then again you want to ask yourself if staying natural is even worth it. Why would someone stay natural if they lost the genetic lottery?

>>143267

Being an ex skinny fat who has actual low test I can tell you it is extremely hard to gain any muscle even over a long time.

My first year of proper training was extremely frustrating, not only was my progress slow and my recovery took ages, my friends who did some meme workouts they found on the web outperformed me besides lifting only once or twice a week max. I'm still relatively strong to the average person but the average person can achieve such a thing in 3 months.

Your torso looks like michael cera.

Yes, unless you are old as fuck, or seriously injured to the point where you cannot work out, you can get in excellent shape, provided you put the effort in. Not everyone can look like a greek god body builder, but everyone can look good. This is a question like "can I learn to play guitar?" Yes you can, just put that hard work in.
