Interesting thread.

I'm not in the worst shape, but I'm not in the best either. I'm 22 years old, little-below average height and weigh around 80KG.

I play soccer once a week and hit the gym a couple of times a week for some basic cardio and light weights (mainly working the arms and abs).

I've lost 10KG this year, and feel pretty great, but I still have a nice pair of moobs and a bit of a beer belly about me.

Was considering trying the P90X program to shed that last bit of weight and up my fitness, has anyone here tried it or have any recommendations?

i do regular exercise (these days about 4 times a week), two days of chest and two days of back plus i'll try and do cardio on other days if i can and maybe shoulders, abs and arms but my biggest pain is that i don't have a bit of a fat chest and i'm by no means fat (honest) or even skinny fat, i'm carrying a little bit of extra weight but i just cannot shift this fat off of my chest or tone it in anyway and i work it hard constantly and it's always aching. i'm open to any suggestions about how i can work on toning and shedding fat off of my chest (i can actually lose weight and i'll see no improvement on my chest at all).

Add in a leg day for starters.

What's your overall BF%? Could be Gyno if it's really low and you aren't seeing any improvement.

Switch focus to your diet for fat loss - no such thing as toning (it's a by-product of reduced BF%), eat at a caloric deficit whilst maintaining a strong workout routine.

body fat% in the summer was at an embarrassing 20% but in the past it was at 16 and 13 and i would assume atm i'm back around 15 (i do need to check).

i did legs in the summer, i just stopped doing them but i was actually doing them for a good while. Yeah w/the toning thing i actually meant losing fat at least around that area. I'll probably add them on for cardio but what would the actual use be for them in terms of my goals (want to build a bit of muscle, not my primary concern or problem) i mainly want to cut down body fat percentage (which has been hard b/c i'm not eating as healthy as i'd like and too much alcohol, but that's the odd day really, usually i'm quite good for not eating that much.)

Ah, get down to like 10% and then see. Usually chest fat can be really stubborn.

Hey guys, I wanna put on lean muscle. I don't wanna get big and bulky at all. I just wanna be lean and cut, problem is I don't know how to go about doing that. By upper body is sort of big (due to weightlifting) but my biceps suck completely! Triceps are fairly good.

Any exercises you guys recommend?

i walk like 3 miles every day (cause i have to) and do some heavy lifting at work, thats pretty much my only work out. im in decent shape i'd say.

I have a lot of lean muscle. That is partly genetics, and partly because of my diet.

For me, I do a lot of weighted pull ups/chin ups/dips/sit-ups in order to gain strength. You also want to do more reps with lower weights when you do your regular lifts. I recommend checking out some exercises on bodybuilding.com because they really do help.

I haven't posted here in awhile, but when I started working out in April I was 147. I'm now 174 and still bulking. My goal is to reach 185.
