Some of the most common messages I get from people are these: "I want to get ripped but I don't want to get small" "I'm currently 165 lbs and 15% body fat and I want to get to 180 lbs and 8% body fat "I like the size I'm at right now, but I want my abs to show more" Essentially what people want to do, even if they don't [...]
One question I get often is whether or not intermittent fasting is a good idea for someone starting out as skinny fat.

One of the biggest problem people bump into once they're done cutting is gaining most of their body fat back when transitioning into bulking.

When I say aesthetics I'm not referring to the bulky, puffy and round physique of bodybuilders.

This is a meaty guide, so feel [...]
One question I hear all the time is: "How long will it take me to get ripped?" I remember that I asked the very same question myself back when I first got started with my fitness journey.

When I started my fitness journey back in 2015 I had the skinny fat physique. I had fat covering my abs and hips making them appear wide, while I also had narrow shoulders with low levels of muscle mass. First I thought that in order to fix this problem I simply had to do a lot of cardio and that should melt the fat away... So, what happened? Should You [...]
Have you ever wondered why some days you look and feel fat and other days you look and feel skinny? This happens to me all the time and it's extremely common amongst almost all of us.

Being skinny fat sucks. You look skinny or normal with a shirt on but fat with a shirt of, and what's worse is that the skinny fat physique just seems impossible to get rid of. No matter how much time you spend in the gym, how many hours of cardio you do, and how well you watch your diet, you still seem to be stuck with it. You know what, I've [...]
Losing body fat is simple, at least in theory: All you have to do is make sure you're in a calorie deficit, which is required to lose fat, and that you're strength training in order to build, or at least preserve your muscle mass as your fat comes of. Seems easy right? But, when moving beyond theory and actually doing it, suddenly it becomes a lot more challenging. In [...]
If you've been following me for a while you know that I love intermittent fasting. Intermittent fasting makes being in a calorie deficit required to lose body fat feel, basically effortless.
