You have to add some cardiovascular exercise to your daily workout regime. \nBody builders have to be careful however, not to do more cardio than is necessary otherwise the body begins to breakdown muscle tissue for energy.\nSome  professionals recommend that you take amino supplements (tablets or shakes) about half and hour before performing your aerobic exercise. This ensures that there is minimal breakdown of muscle tissue if any at all.\n\nGradually add an hour of high intensity aerobic exercise to your day. however, do not perform your cardio before doing your resistance training because you will deplete your glycogen stores and will not have enough energy to devote to pumping iron.\n\nActually experts recommend performing your cardio after weight training sessions as your body will dip into fat stores after most other ready stores of glucose and glycogen are used during your training session.\n\nIf you find that this doesn't allow enough energy to complete your cardio session another alternative is to perform the cardio in the morning on an empty stomach (after taking the amino supplements though) as it is believed that fat stores will be used for energy.\n\nAlso, bodybuiders need to ensure that they are taking in enough calories on a daily basis to feed their growing muscles. But quite often more calories than is necessary is taken in resulting in fat storage.\n\nSo up your cardio and watch your calorie intake\n\nthis site is very helpful in helping you watch your calories\nwww.calorie-count.com\n\nHappy Training\nGood Luck

dont eat more protein!.. Man ..some people ain't got a clue.., Any excess flab needs to shrink, cut out carbs, replace pasta, bread  dairy products, with rice, ryvita, & soya milk, plenty of water to. make sure you sweat at the gym, & tone up. you need to lose weight & flab before you start building muscle other wise you become all pear shaped & flabby. Oh & avoid sugar & coffee.

#1 if you have a lot of fat start there. Try to lose some of that first. Caridio, better diet, etc.\n\n#2 then just begon to tone up. Less weight more reps 10 - 14. low weight high reps just make you look more bulky.\n\n#3 diet. In order to gain muscle you really need to keep your fat intake to a minimun. Eat food rich in protein, but not to high on carbs. Turkey, Grilled chicken, boiled potatoes, LOTS OF VEGGIES, to start two or three protein shakes are pretty decent. 1 in the morning, 1 after workout, 1 at night. You have to eat 4 - 6 small size meals rather than just three big ones. Don't ever allow yourself to get too hungry. opt for healthy snack like raisens, peanuts, yogurt, fruit, etc. Before you start loading up on any supplements like creatine give your body 6 - 8 weeks to adapt to your new workout. You should begin to see "real" results by then.

Keep lifting weights.  Muscle burns fat.  Build more muscle burn more fat.  Largest muscle groups are back, chest, and legs.  You mentioned working upper front but said nothing about back and legs.  Leg presses rather than squats. Cable pulldowns for upper back and seated cable rows for mid back.  Walk until you can run, then do wind sprints--not long distance jogging.\nAdjust your diet to help.  You can't rely on the lifting alone.  If you eat junk you will be a strong fat boy.\nYou didn't get in this shape overnight and it ridiculous to think it will be solved overnight.  Be patient and work steadily.  You will get there and stay there is you keep it up.

Muscle is more dense than fat, so if you're doing an activity that builds muscle, you may be gaining weight, BUT you are also losing body fat.  I am in the process of losing 50 pounds.  I've had success just eliminating sugar and fat from my diet and working in an Ab Lounge to tighten up my belly.  Good luck!

Sure!\nDoing all that physical work, you burned off a lot of fat. At the same time, you gained muscle. \nHowever, the amount of fat you lost is MORE than the muscle you gained. Therefore, even though muscle weighs more than fat, your weight stayed the same.\n\nExample: Let's say you lost 3 blobs of fat and gained 1 chunk of muscle. Let's also say that a blob weighs 3 pounds, and a chunk weighs 9 pounds.\nYou lost: 3 blobs x 3 pounds = 9 pounds\nYou gained: 1 chunk x 9 pounds = 9 pounds\nYour weight stayed the same.

EAT MORE!!! Eat more meals per day. For example, your typical 3 square meals, but make it 6 total meals but smaller portions that add up to what you typically eat per day. Take out or minimize simple sugars (regular soda, sweets), and saturated fats. Make sure you drink at least 124 oz. of water a day and do some weight lifting. The more TIMES you eat, the faster your metabolism; the more muscle you have, the more calories you burn.\n\nI don't mean you should go to the gym and try to get bodybuilder size, but any amount of weight training is great. The faster you lose the weight, the faster you will gain it back(and maybe gain more!!). On average, it is only healthy to lose 1-2 lbs. a week. Any more than that, you're actually losing muscle. Your weight tends to fluctuate 5-9 lbs throughout the day anyways, due to water intake and food.

Yes you can! You can get all the basics off the net from several health sites. If you weight-lift without cutting down or increasing calories and making sure you are getting enough protein, you will be loosing fat while gaining some muscle, but the trick is not to overdo each session because your body will start breaking up muscle for energy after 20-30 minutes.

building muscle and doing cardio

NO.  this is a common misconception.  muscle does not turn into fat, or the other way around, but often if you have very large and developed muscles, and you keep the same caloric intake without working the muscles, fat deposits will build up where the muscles were.  the cells themselves are different, and are not interchangeable.

Do not eat fat burner. Many people's bodies react badly to them. I would recommed hitting the GYM and excersizing 2-3 hours a day. You'll bulk  up pretty fast. Good luck with the muscles! ^^

find a good protein drink and work out with weights to gain muscle mass. muscle is heavier than fat.

FAT AND MUSCLE CELLS VARY IN COMPOSITION, AND 1 DOES NOT CONVERT TO THE OTHER. YOU CAN GET INCREASED BODY FAT AND DECREASED MUSCLE MASS IF YOU DONT EXERCISE LIKE YOU SHOULD.

Know this & take what you need....\n\nBuilding muscles is actually when you break muscle fibers, they repair themselves over a period of 72 hours, and after the process is complete the fibers are more dense and become thicker and bigger. Ta da! Big muscles. It is important to feed the mscles after working out to give them what they need to repair properly, lots a protein! Divide your work out into muscle groups and work out each group every 3 days, this will allow it the time it needs to become denser and allow you to go up in weight. Don't do that and your goals (if muscle building, toning, development) will be hindered. Good luck, use good judgement & caution with weights, you don't want to pull, strain, or tear because then you will have sit out, which results in nothing!

why would you want to get definition?  you seem more like a powerlifter as opposed to a bodybuilder.  \n\nsquats in general are harder than leg presses...i think you're just not used to it yet.  you should be able to throw on the weight pretty easily.  \n\nas far as definition goes, it's all about bodyfat.  from your pic, it looks like you're a pretty big guy...built like a tank.  i mean...if you want definition...you'd probably have to start eating cleaner and not so many fatty foods or something.  you still gotta eat a lot to maintain all that muscle mass.  doing lots of cardio is actually bad for muscle gains/strength but good for losing fat.  so i say just watch what you eat a little bit since i don't think you want to lose your muscle.\n\nbtw...don't listen to what Panacea said...he has no clue what he is talking about.  it sounds like he has never worked out before in his life.
