Man I understand you perfectly. I've tried many things over the years to address the exact same situation. I finally succeeded. The way in which you phrased this question shows me you're experienced in exercise, diet and training, so I'm going to be brief here. What it boils down two is two things: 1) Experiment, and 2) Supplement By "Experiment" I mean you need to test out different combinations of training and eating strategies. WHY?? Because everybody reacts differently to training and diet based on age, genetics, body type, lifestyle, etc. Sorry man but you must trust me on this - you need to try things and see how it affects YOU. For example, I learned that running for 45 minutes+ actually did nothing for my fat % as I got older, and simply walking at a good pace for the same time was what got the fat off. And walking in the morning after drinking a protein shake was more effective than walking on an empty stomach. Regarding supplements there are some that can help but you need to be careful - both of artificial ingredients and marketing hype - but you know that already. Stay away from Hydroxycut please. What has worked for me is something new called 'Acai Fire for Men' - which is acai berry obviously BUT formulated for men. I don't know how they did it but that stuff worked. I read about it on the web at http://hubpages.com/hub/acaifire4men-freetrial My experience was much like the guy who wrote that article. Bottom line there is no quick fix solution but the solution nevertheless is there - you just have to find it yourself.<br><b>References : </b><br> Hi Mike. Man I understand you perfectly.

What it boils down two is two things:

1) Experiment, and
2) Supplement

By "Experiment" I mean you need to test out different combinations of training and eating strategies. WHY?? Because everybody reacts differently to training and diet based on age, genetics, body type, lifestyle, etc. Sorry man but you must trust me on this – you need to try things and see how it affects YOU. For example, I learned that running for 45 minutes+ actually did nothing for my fat % as I got older, and simply walking at a good pace for the same time was what got the fat off.

Regarding supplements there are some that can help but you need to be careful – both of artificial ingredients and marketing hype – but you know that already. Stay away from Hydroxycut please. What has worked for me is something new called ‘Acai Fire for Men’ – which is acai berry obviously BUT formulated for men. I don’t know how they did it but that stuff worked.

Bottom line there is no quick fix solution but the solution nevertheless is there – you just have to find it yourself.

Now that I've gotten older, mass is less appealing and had been switching to more endurance type training, but always ended up feeling weak. Last fall I ran across the crossfit web site and decided to give it a try. It based on high intensity full body workouts utilizing only 2-3 different exercises but done with little or no rest and uses a lot power-lifting and olympic style techniques. Its allowed me to lean out quite a bit (with out dieting down) and though I have lost some mass, I'm just as strong and in some cases stronger then I was before. Its definitely not for everyone and some gym's really frown on it, but I found that if you add the high-intensity element of it to your work-out you get the benefits.

I know a guy who does that and it's working for him. I don't even combine building muscle mass and losing bodyfat at the same time though. I always bulk up first and then concentrate on getting the fat off later when I am cutting. One thing for sure though is to make sure you don't eat bad foods. Fast foods and junky foods are not good for you. Make sure you are heavy with protein for sure. Even get some of that whey protein stuff and it helps a lot. This way a lot less fat forms during your bulk up phase.<br><b>References : </b><br> The Seagull girl recommends a good idea. I know a guy who does that and it’s working for him.
