Okay no joke. I seriously run 12-15 miles a week. box 3-5. and lift 2 days a week. for like ever and i have always been soft in the stomach area.


Bout 2 months ago. I started eating really clean and kept up this workout. I have lost maybe 10 or 15 lbs. But I still look soft. It's like i'm losing fat in my ass or something and not where i need to.

If i keep losing weight will it eventually go away? Or am I just stuck with ****ty genes and a soft body forever no much how i workotu or eat right

I never get tired in fights and Ive never lost so far. I'm just tired of people looking at me and thinking I look like nothing

Do over 600 different ab exercises a day, and post up your diet. I never ran and got abs from eating right and doing a ****load of ab exercises daily.

What kind of strength training are you doing? I had the same problem and switched my strength training to full body circuit training. Ill do 4-5 different workouts right after another and I'll do this 5 times.

Also are you doing core workouts? A lot of people neglect core workouts, but its the most important.

Also are you doing leg workouts? Keeping track of your diet?

If you know anyone who knows good kettle bell workouts I would def suggest that. An intense kettle bell workout is as good a strength builder and calorie burner as there is.

yes i am eating clean. Good carbs, nothing fried, no sugar, no white flower, good protien.

Its not that I am not losing weight. I am. But i am just like losing it from mostly everywhere but my abs area. I am not fat i just look soft.

I started about 210 and now I am about 193 area. So the weight is coming off. I just wondering if eventually i will lose fat from my abs or if some people just stay soft no matter what in certain places. Or if it just maybe my abs will be the last thing to lose fat maybe.

I do about 100-200 abs a day 5 days a week. and the p90 x core synergistics. and the plyo. Everyone says its all about burning the fat and not the ab workouts. But idk nothing works I am happy I am lighter and I feel fine in training.

I just dont have that look for someone who works out so much

genes? what does genes have to do with it? u mean you look terrible?

otherwise, stop perpetuating that myth that physical capabilities are limited by your parents.

d@mn! who the hell started this stupid idea? the nazis?

You do have to burn the fat to show the abs, but you're doing enough to burn the fat in my opinion. Add more intensity, quality, and quantity to your ab routine and see if that works. Like I said, I did very little fat burning exercises when I got my abs to show, but focused a lot on ab exercises. Good luck.

if u want to be strong in the stomach, try conditioning that area.

and just curious, how did you think that running had any affect at how tough your belly is? or did i misread?

btw, u dont need to have chisled abs to be able to take a punch to the bread basket. they are not quite related. only in a minor way.

edit: oh, if this is about "looking" tough, then you are better off talking to body builders. boxers is not related to bodybulding.

body building = muscle, toned and chisled for looks only.

boxing and MA = functional strength, ability, and skill.

I don't know what your eating but include lots of Lettuce, broccoli, and asparagus. That stuff will clean you right out and keep you ****ting.

Also, you can't choose where to burn fat, and anyone who says u can is bull****ting. You also got to realize that for abs to show you need to be really lean. Some people are just blessed.

I would bring the ab work up to 300 at least and make sure you change the routine constantly. Add as much core work and whatever strength training you do much sure your keeping your heart rate high.

If your losing weight though your on the right track, abs just take awhile.

some boxers just don't have a really strong looking core

take Kelly Pavlik and Juan Diaz for example, both great boxers, but they look soft

even Marquez is sorta soft around the midriffs

you work out hard enough and it will go away, regardless.

Larry Holmes for much of his career, even prime..seemed to have a small belly tho.

marquez at FW and 130 was always cut though.

Barrera, he has always looked a bit soft though.

I had that problem, then i switched to the brand "Levi", haven't had any complaints so far.

Okay. I will up it to 300 my friend and get back with results in a few week.s Thank you.

Well duh it doesn't matter what you look like on boxing ability. But it is nice to take your shirt off and look like you are a fighter. Boxers are known for their physiques.

And i didnt say running gave you abs. Running burns calories. Burning calories makes you leaner and able to see your abs more? really did i have to explain that.

And who doesn't want to look good. Trust me i can fight. I could show you my fights if you want on youtube. but pm me if you want that discussion. this thread isnt about that and i have no idea why you even brought up the whole bodybuilder boxer analogy

Ehh Some peopel got it harder than others.

I can just run and eat well and bam, six pack. I even had somewhat of a six pack after 6 weeks of non stop eating.

Other guys can work like crazy and still have that little bit of fat over top

There is most likely a genetic factor. Marciano probably trained harder than any boxer in history yet he never developed a 6 pack nor looked particularly defined or cut. I would appear to be of a similar make up.

I had my body fat taken a couple of years ago and the trainer measuring it told me that my tissue was such that my subcutaneous fat did not separate from my visceral fat or something like that (can't remember his exact words), he told me that it would be virtually impossible for me to develop a 6 pack unless I starved myself down to < 5% body fat, and even then it wouldn't look particularly well defined. He also told me that he couldn't get an accurate reading on my body fat using the forceps things whatever they are called. Told me that scales would give me a reasonable measure but that I'd have to be submerged in some sort of bath to get an accurate one.

The scales typically register me <10% and I've seen as low as 7% without developing a 6 pack. When I feel my abs they are very big and hard, just barely visible.

Chance are you are built like me (and Rocky).

not really sure why you are on this website. what exactly are you looking for? and, .... nevermind. sh*t, i have other things to do. you just opposed yourself in that statement.

nevermind. carry on.

Ever think it might be as simple as your skin? Google it, I'm not being sarcastic. I think most people would be really surprised to learn how skin can vary in qualities like tightness (or lack thereof), the amount of elasticity, the subcutaneous fat it will actually hold can vary greatly from one individual to the next. OK it's boring reading really, but the differences are there. Also, there is no such thing as spot reduction. You ever see an otherwise obese person with 6 pack abs? Do all the sit-ups you like, your body loses fat evenly throughout.
