Ive been training for about one year on and off. Ive put on 20lbs, most of which has been muscle, my fat percentage has remained roughly the same. I'm currently 189lbs and 6ft2. How do i carry on making gains and trim fat at the same time? My last reosrt would be to change my program to accomodate for a 'toning' workout and increased cardio. Any suggestions?
Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single
She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.
You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.
The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

That's the best way to lose mass.. keep your training the same, and instead focus on cleaner eating, more cardio, maybe some zerocarb under maintainance days, no cheats..MrGold said:My last reosrt would be to change my program to accomodate for a 'toning' workout and increased cardio.

It's easier if you just tell us your current diet and routine
Currently training 5days a week.
Mon - Shoulders, Inner Chest
Tues - Back
Weds - Legs
Thurs - Triceps, Chest
Friday - Biceps, Deadlifts.
Diet consists of -
Breakfast - Oats, coupla banana's, milk (semi-skimmed).
Pre-lunch snack - Tuna sandwichs
Lunch - Jacket Potatoes, Tuna filling, whatever the hell they serve in the caf when they dont have jackets, usually not that bad, Fish beans (refuse fries)
Pre-dinner - Sardines/mackerel (Try to have my fill of oily fish to keep up on the Omega-3's)
Ive kinda cut out dinner as im sticking to the "no carbs after 6" rule.
I'll have a can of tuna before bed plus about a pint of milk.
I know its alot of tuna, but i really dont eat alot of meat

cut out the milk if you can, it has a lot of carbs and isn't all that great for you. replace potatoes with brown rice or more beans. eat roughly the same amount but split it into 8 meals instead. the less carbs the easier is will be to stay trim.

I think switching to a more protein+fat based diet rather than a high carb one will show some changes in body composition without any other special effort. save the carbs for around workouts and maybe a carb day once a week.
"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
