Thread: Stubborn Fat Loose Skin After major Weight Loss CYCLE?

Hi guys there is A fella at the Gym who was obese wgen he First started coming about 3-4years ago. He has Lost about 100 pounds. 3+ years of Training he worked and works his but off. To get where hes at Now hesays he is About 15% Bodyfat and by the Looks of him 90% of this fat is in his Ab /lovehandle CORE Area.. I know he isnt lying ans saw the transformation myself. He is semi Muscular about 210lbs i think.
BUT HE Cannot Lose the midsection Stubborn Fat after years of Dieting and Exercise etc. He said he Ran PHs Once.
NOW HE feels he has Done almost everything possible to. Lose this stubborn Fat Skin Fupa.. Whatever you call it.. But Cant But at same time NEVER WENT ULTRA CATABOLIC LOW CALORIE intake as he is Trying to buuld and maintain muscle as well.
He ASKS COULD GEAR BENEFIT Him? And If so What? Or Anything Else he maybe able to do to Lose this Stubborn FAT in the midsection.. But Not lose and Muscle hopefully even keep trying to build at same time.
What Would or Could you guys reccomend For HIM?

HE feels Like he needs to turn to the gear as he has Tirelessy worked his But off for all this time and it is about the Only thing he hasnt done besides Surgery.
Hes a good Kid and I dont want him to give up HE HAS DONE ALL THIS WORK AND TIME and still not there physically in the midsection I think Its GENETIC, partly Extra Skin, He is against Surgery..
Anyways i Dont want him to give up after Losing 100Lbs and still trying to build..
Hes Not lying his Upper Body Looks Great but his Midsection "Spare Tire" and Fupa Pouch Ab area Is A Mess, its actually really surprising when you see him take his shirt off.. Boggles My Mind almost.. The Fat Is literally all and Only in the midsection.. Dont know if a Correct Cycle Could Help get him over the hump..?

When I read the title I thought about just saying " try smoking some gear" because of your thread yesterday. But after reading your question I reaslised it deserved a legitimate answer.

The first thing thats important to know is how old is he? If he's anywhere close to 25 then I would suggest he not use any gear. Next is what are his true goals and objectives? If he's looking to get into body building then and understands what is involved with steroids both physically AND mentally then they could help him. If he's just a good kid who over indulged and ate to much for to long and is trying to live a healthier AND happier life and be a more attractive to women, then I say he should NOT use steroids. If I were you I'd advise him to try some different types of diets that are more aggressive - maybe a keto diet. Unfortunately body recomp without using steroids can take a long time when someone gets to the point he's at and he needs to stay patient. Unfortunately if the issue is actually with loose skin then surgery is really the only solution.

You're a good guy for looking out for him and trying to help!!!

Bro I played football since I was grade school through collage. I was on offensive guard, in high school I was 275. after 2 years of college ball I was pushing 290. This was mainly fat and on a 5'10 frame. I did the same thing as your buddy and when football was out of the picture I lost right under 100 lbs in 9 months. The weight came off too fast due to my lack of understanding proper nutrition and excessive cardio. I was faced with a similar issue as your friend the spare tire. How old is this guy? The main reason I believe he has a spare tire look is due to the fact that his skin was stretched out from being extremely over weight. The loose skin is a mother fucker... you can be 10percent bf and look like your 15% The weight will come off with continued diet and exercise. however he may have to eventually deal with the issue of getting rid of the loose skin. I tried an Rx cream that offered minimal help, then there is the option for laser type treatment, then of course the most invasive measure is a tummy tuck. I did the laser treatment and it work well enough.

If he were to run a stim and loose more weight this would shrink the the "spare tire" however it will not get rid of it or the problem. Can he pull his abdominal skin further then normal... almost like is elastic if this the case, continued steady weight loss, while keeping skin healthy (coco butter wouldnt hurt) is his best option.

If he is dead set on running aas the only gear known to increase lipolysis is Primo Depot, and anavar (many believe Var targets abdominal fat and thigh). There is also tren but that should just be out of the question

He is 28 or 29 years Old. He is Not against usine steroids.. He has done research isnt scared of them. He understands what they do etc from me and his own research. BUT his question and my question is Could and What IF ANY CHCLE would benefit someone like Him as its VERY UNTYPICAL... being in that position.. Beig Very Physically Fit having a good Foundation BUT Just Fat Skin An excess in the Mid section aftwr the weightloss.. I dont even know what compounds to reccomend to him.. and he says the same. Where to start..? And WOULD THEY EVEN BENEFIT?
BTWthe Smoking GwR thread Was really just for Entertinment purposes.. Nobody God I hope nobody would ever actually consider that..!

Yea i think He is 28-29.. If the Gear is a waste no point.. But i tell him you should give it a try as he was wanting to run a cycle down the road anyways.. ISo if there were cycle suggestions that coukd work given his Matter.. Which yes I think its like half fat Half Skin.. And even a little water weight.. It is Loose.. And Light.. Hes says it floats easily in a tub...Lol..
BUT. Only thing i could thig of was a cutting cycle.... But doesnt want to lose any gains and still add qualiry muscle.
I WILL HAVE TO TELL HIM ABOUT THE LASER Option.. I guess He talked to someone about a tummy Tuck and it scared him off, all that was Involved, the Risk, how evasive, and the Cost.. So he was AGAINST THAT or made it seem like it was not an Option.
I will have to say something about Laser chances are he already researched or knows a thing or tow about it.. But Laser to me.. Just sounds like for Mild or minimal cases.. And Wouldnt help with the Skin.. But I dunno.. Thays Up to him.. What does Laser Cost when you had it done.. Thanks Cool that I can Tell him i talked to so eone thst wad in the exact same Situation!

Not sure if it will help but take a look amd research fat caviation. Alot of beuty parlours are pffering it, not sure what it would do for skin but could be another option

@MaxMark BTW What Is Lipolysis??? I Never heard of... LIPOSUCTION procedure or what? Sorry and Thanks!

Fat Cavitation.. Hmm I will ask him if he knows of or have heard. We are in Somewhat of a small Town.. So I will oresent all these GREAT Suggestions to him Thanks BROS!
I Know money is A VERY BIG FACTOR... He lives paycheck to paycheck just got a little Apartment.. So I know Money he IS NOT Rich By any means.. Actually Broke ALOT. Even getting gear may be a touch thing for him to Afford a Full Blown Looong Cycle.

The laser treatment was around $500 but my doc hooked me up since he had a private practice and offered it among other things.

Lipolysis is the breakdown of lipids and involves hydrolysis of triglycerides into glycerol and free fatty acids. In other words the aas compounds that I mentioned will actually burn fat.

Ahh Ok, i See... so the stubborn fat etc. I dont know if hei shod tell him bulk up to fill in the loose skin... Or obliterate that fat then try bulking.. Its tough for him cuz i see him when he hads calories.. And it Goes DIRECTLY to the waist.. Ab Area.. Nowhere else Really.. It does But sliwly and evenly. Jyst unproportianate.. He HAS TO Defy Genetics.
