My muscle mass is fine.. I lift weights 4-5 times a week and do around an hour of cardio 5 days a week


If you're 160 pounds at 5'10" and you want to lose MORE weight, then, no, your muscle mass is not "fine".

ETA: You're probably trolling but if not you have serious mental issues with your body image and you may need to seek help.

You need to start lifting. If you still want cardio maybe do UFC gym or some crossft shite. Cross fit is a bit expensive. UFC gym has weights and they'll wear you out in a different way. I'm the same size as you. I went from 185 to 160 and dropped my waist significantly. Started lifting and now I weigh 185 with the same smaller waistline. Diet is key also. No soda, no bad sugars and no fried is a good start.

Then eat more and lift more. Drop the cardio, or just do it once a week. 5 times a week is a waste.

Want to get more toned? Get some rings and do basic exercises. Do more core work. There are plenty of resources online that can help.

Get you some rings and you will see. They are pretty awesome. It will take a lot of strength for you to just hold yourself up for about 10 seconds.

Increase reps with lower weight

or increase cardio, just not to the point where it becomes counter-intuitive by drastically increasing your caloric intake. Also results may take longer depending on metabolism, especially after you've made a little progress and start to plateau. You might have more success if you approach it as a lifestyle change not as a quest for specific results.

Invest in a sit-up machine --



Add a shite ton of push-ups.

In 4-6 months your stomach will disappear and your shoulders will be better than ever.

If you want strong forearms, invest in one of these --




And, one of these will help your forearms and your shoulders and is easy to make (they do have commercial models) --



Just go to home depot and get a 14 inch piece of round wood cut and ask them to drill a hole right in the center. I think mine cost about $2. Just add some cheap dumbbell and your set.

If you put 10 lbs. on the rope, the first time you do it, you might be able to do 2 sets (roll up and down). You'll eventually work your way up. Your forearms will be BURNING.

How does your chest still stick out at 5'10" 160? Unless your shirts are stupid tight. Maybe start working chest again. The problem you're claims to have is somewhat perplexing bc I'm about the same size, maybe a hair taller, hover between 155-160 and don't understand how your chest could be a problem area at that size.

go read the 531 big but boring challenge and do the damn program for atleast 6 months. then do the 531 monolith challenge for 6 months. After that go read leangains and do that for the rest of your life.

and WTF does not working out chest have to do with losing weight? you lose weight by being calorie deficient. Cut the BS cardio and get to sprinting, carrying heavy shite, flipping heavy stuff, jump rope, boxing, sled pushes/pulls or hiit on the airdyne or rower.

If you do what the 531 program says including the diet and conditioning work you will get great results. If you are gaining too much fat, cut carbs back on the days you don't lift and do more conditioning work.

looking good is pretty damn simple

1) don't be fat, so burn more then you eat
2) keep protein high
3) go long periods without eating(intermittent fasting) and move around during this period.
4) lift heavy shite and get stronger
5) Sprint

pretty damn simple. Its the consistency part that gets people.

btw don't be scared to add a little fat at the expense of adding lots of muscle. But don't go fat frick yourself either.

just run the program and do EXACTLY what it says for atleast one 3 month cycle. Second 3 months you can adjust, but honestly with the way you talk, you would be much better off just doing what it says.

Still don't understand how with all the info that is at our fingertips with the internet, people can still not understand basic health and fitness. Its stupid how much people over complicate things.
