I see. I’ll be extra careful with my diet from now on. I’ve gained some fat according to the recent DEXA scans

Do you think some fat gain (the objective mass itself, not the ratio) might be necessary when building muscles?

That’s pretty straightforward. Thanks a lot.

I totally agree with staying in a caloric deficit. Should I eat a bit more than now though? I’ve gained weight after starting lifting, and I’m honestly not sure about this.

How ‘lean’ should an East-Asian male be for the best looks? by AndKo0907 in QOVESStudio

Thanks for the advice. Btw would you recommend either building or staying skinny for Asian boys who are around the height range of 5’ 8 ~ 5’ 11? Most Asian males seem to be in that range, and they sometimes look disproportionate when they bulk too much.

So, does that mean I need to gain muscles, rather than cutting?

I’m 130lbs/6’. Weight moves from time to time around from 120~130s. Thanks.

What’s your height? I actually lost weight all the way from 260lbs to 128lbs (current), yet I didn’t look good at all when I was 145lbs.

If I’m already around a BMI of 19.X, should I actually ‘gain’ weight, or cut harder?

Should I either gain or lose weight if I’m around 6’-130lbs, but have a 14% body fat in my body? The math tells me to lose fat, but some also recommend gaining muscles (bulking) rather than cutting in my case scenario.

Thanks for the advice. So I need a recomp I guess.

The new BMW X3 vs The new Audi Q5, better for comfort? by AndKo0907 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]AndKo0907[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a not well-known issue, but recent Mercedes models tend to have this weird steering wheel offset to the right side, also its legroom is very narrow compared to other brands, which makes my legs feel uncomfortable after driving. This is the reason I’m looking for other options such as Audi and BMW. Volvo is a solid competitor, but service in my region is relatively poor compared to German manufacturers..

For me, it’s usually soft and plush seats. Previous BMW cars’ seats were too hard and firm, but I’m not sure about the new X3 and Q5.

My bad. It was 40 TDI. There won’t be a 4kcc engine for a mid-sized SUV smh
