Baron's Journey to Single-Digit Bodyfat

[vanzandt]

Are your thighs proportionate to your upper body.

No. He's got chicken legs.
Who friggin cares?

 

[Baron]

Ok, I suppose we can rule out the NFL for you.

Are your thighs proportionate to your upper body. I ask because you always post from waist up?

Yep. But I try to keep them from getting much bigger on purpose because I find that most jeans, especially in this skinny jean era we live in nowadays, are just way too tight in the thighs because they aren't cut for people that work out. The style seems to be a tighter and more tapered fit even for dress pants, so finding a pair with decent leg room at a 30" waist is a pain in the ass, if not impossible. That's why I usually just buy a 31 or 32 and then just cinch them up with a belt.

I've seen lots in gym neglect the thighs, they are hard & painful to train, and not as showy.

Ok, that's an adequate hand but I suppose we can rule out the NFL for you.

Too bad... I was expecting questions about Baron's pubic hair but you might have chased ESfocus already

Improved health and longevity? Improved immune system? Improved strength and mobility? Improved mood and reduced stress? Improved sense of control? Improved appearance and self-image?

I would agree with you 100% on the above points, if Baron was clinically obese. However, he's putting a lot of effort in to lose a few pounds of body fat, which will not equate to your above plus points, if he doesn't already have the above qualities.

Sure, he already has the health-related benefits of exercise and is putting in the disproportionate effort required to get those last few percentage points. Because it is important to him. But that is not what we were talking about. My above post which you quoted was in response to this:

Baron, I think you need to put all this to some sort of use, go in for a triathlon or something. Without sounding condescending, it all seems pointless if there's no kinda fulfilment at the end of it.

Yes, he can use his fitness and strength for competitive pursuits if he so chooses. But there is also fulfillment both in the process and as a direct result of the process of attaining his strength and fitness. Depends on your objective.

I require 28" waist and 32 inch leg.... i have the same problem with the cut, too tight around thighs and calves. Hard to find jeans and trousers that fit. Hollister ones aren't too bad.

To help everybody with visualization of body fat, here are slices of a 250 and a 120 pounds women. Explanations: The 2 bodies were sliced at different angles so those are eyepockets, not fat in the brain. The visceral fat difference is huge and supposedly very hard to get ride off. The black parts inside are either air or shit.

 

[Visaria]

The fatty bird is disgusting.

And not hard to lose visceral fat....that tends to go first when doing a calorie controlled diet.
