I'm in decent shape, lift 6x a week and hit my macros daily. Been bulking for a while, so I expect to be holding a little fat -- but even at the bottom of my last cut, I can't get rid of my fucking love handles.
Even when I was very lean (for a physique competition I prematurely did a couple years ago), lean enough that I had my bottom two abs clearly visible, I STILL felt like my lower back held onto some fat.
Is there something to train to tighten up my lower back/hips? I squat, work glutes and core, I do lower back work. I don't do a ton of direct oblique work -- is that something I should add?
impossible to take on a bulk then, especially if you need to have 6 meals a day due to stomach capacity/meeting caloric intake/etc.
isn't there a "bulking edition "for this?

im not op but i have this shit from makeing the comen mistak of bulking way to much. If i get down to a good bady fat % and igo back up to a health bf will they come back on my waist?
Eli Anderson

It's almost like the sticky has links to sites that discuss supplements.

Yohimbe doesn't burn fat, it aids in the mobilization of fat from certain areas due to its effect on alpha-2 receptors. Without a caloric deficit you still wont see any fat loss. So no it's not meaningful on a bulk.

>- Finn wtf is this meme and why is it in every thread over night?

How fat is deposited is determined largely by your genetics and, to a lesser extent, by your hormonal environment when you gain the fat (i.e. women who become pregnant may distribute fat differently during pregnancy). Whether the latter has any real influence without the use of exogenous hormones is not obvious.
Point is, if you've gained fat on your lower back previously you're most likely going to do so again. Further, if you cut and stop as soon as your love handles are gone, they're most likely the first thing that will reappear when you regain fat.

so basically my body just has love handles and thats what im going to have unless im 90 lbs all the time
Charles Sanders
I'd say it's worth a short if you were fat during puberty and/or gained it while on estrogenic birthcontrol (from your weight I'm guessing you're a woman).
But outside of that, yeah probably.
Easton Cox
no im a guy. im exaggerating becasue i dont want to be a 90lb twink.
i was skinny fat in my teens then starting lifeting in my ealry 20's but did the i'm bulking thing so i could eat what i want. no im just fat and to have good mobility and look decent
Andrew Smith

> < 6% to get rid of love handles i'm never gonna make it

Cut carbs until evening, that should increase insulin sensitivity that as I've heard is the main reason for this shit.
HIIT training (tabatas for example) first thing in the morning should be great too.

Maybe you trained your outer abs too much, try to only do leg raises
