I normally just do strength training and cardio. I'm 5'9" and I have not gained or lost weight since I started. I'm about 220 (I swing between 215-220 normally). As far as the bullshit BMI goes, I'm considered to be a land barge. However, I comfortably wear 36 jeans, and although I do have some stomach fat that needs trimming away, I'm by no means "fat".

I've increased my upper body muscle mass and definition considerably, and improved my cardio shape, but I still weigh in like I'm made of cinder blocks. UFC fighters who are my height, and have twice as much muscle as I do weight in at 180.

My question is, where the FUCK is this FORTY pounds? Is it really all fat?
Muscle weighs a lot more than fat. People don't realize that 80% of the body transformation comes from the kitchen. If you're eating above maintenance, then you're going to gain muscle/fat.
