    Are you currently 10%??If not try getting there first then worry about how to get under 10%. Only say that because at 10% you won't have much if any stomach or chest fat and you mention both showing up more after having carbs.

    Have you bothered to track your macros and calories at all?While it may not be everything, you can still over eat and not lose fat, and it looks like that may very well be your issue.

    +1While there will be a tad bit of lower back and stomach fat, if you have fat under your pecs, you are nowhere near 10%.

    I had it checked and yes I am at 10%.. here is a photo today after last nights carb load. either way 10% or 12%I can't seem to get down much. I did a reset about 2 weeks ago. No I have not checked my micros. When I put all on paper I was think I am not getting enough calories. I am 5'11 190 lbs. I'll attach the workout plan in a sec.

    Well if you haven't bothered to look into your macros and calories that should be where you start.

    You're leaner than I thought, but I'd place you around 12%.  Regardless (bf% is just a number) you are at the point where you need to watch your food intake if you want to get leaner.  And more importantly, it takes a while.  It doesn't happen overnight.  I know you've been on the diet for two years, but it took me about 5 years of training dieting until I could get to the point where I could walk around at 10% year round.  This is without being in a calorie deficit.

    ok so help me out a bit more. I figured that's what I needed to do but how? Am I putting in too much fat or too much carbs on my loads? Im trying to get specifics if possible. My listed diet if fairly normal for me.

    I will but I don't recall JK speaking about it. What type of numbers should I be aiming for?

    This is completely individual, but like Ibob says you are at a point to keep getting leaner you will have to start watching what you eat much closer.

    #229812

    To be honest the only way you are going to get detailed help is if you choose to pay a coach.Other wise it's trial and error to find what works best for your life, energy levels, and training.
