My results are going very well but I`ve mostly been focusing on weighloss cause I really hate being fat. I`m 5`9 (176 cm) and I now weigh 140 lbs lost 36 in the last 2 moth with severe diet following AGD and ESE pricniples. My waist is 75 cm and even though thats almost 4 cm below my ideal Adonis waist I barelly can see a bit of my upper abs. What should I do?Keep dieting or go more on amintanance and focus on growin?MY shoulders now are 113 cm so my AI is roughly 1.5 . Please any advice would be great and PS. how do I now my end weight so I can stop dieting? Hi guys,

I do have one lingering question here...I am 6'4 223 right now. Ive lost 7lbs since going AI 2.5 weeks ago and my ideal w/s are 34/55. I would consider myself a meso-endo (I would probably consider myself heavily endo). I am now almost to a 35" waist, which by this calculation means 5 lbs away from my ideal waist. HOWEVER, my problem, and what has always been my problem are my hips. My body for whatever reason, just stores all of my weight in my legs and on my hips (lower back). Can I assume that once at the golden waist that the 5lbs will equate to an inch off the hips??? Do you have any speculation as to how to factor that in to the "goal" or ideal weight once set? I feel like 205ish may be right on once I get there, but since I consider myself to be somewhat unique when it comes to fat distribution, where does that all fit in?

HIIT broke down my muscles...i had to switch to lower speed, higher inclines to build and it still seems hard! Good luck! its a tough nut to crack, but once you get there - adaptive thermogenesis will take care of you 80% of the time so long as you're taking care of the nutrition 80% of the time :) feed the muscles with lots of goodness…and burn the fat with a little target cardio…the kind your body says works for YOU!

That is impressive. I agree that you're a true ectomorph and I'd say not to worry about bodyweight. There are many factors that go into your day to day weight and I wouldn't worry too much about bodyweight (it's an irrelevant number) I really cannot guess at what your weight might be. And yes our calculations are for average mesomorphs so if you don't hit our calculated numbers exactly I wouldnt' worry about it, just focus on your ratio and building muscle...you'll look good no matter what you weigh. JB Sunde,

Based on that, I have a quick question. Age: 21 Height : 6foot~6foot1 Weight: 60KG Shoulder Circumfrance: 44.5inches Waist : 28.5inches Based on my measurements I'm pretty sure I'm an extreme ectomorph, so I'd understand if you're not able to answer this. I started using the manual with the same waist measurement but have gained about 3.5 inches in shoulder circumference. Can you hazard a guess as to what my ideal weight would be? using the AI manual I think my ideal waist is 32, and shoulders is 52. Hi,

Although if true, you'd be able to achieve the same the same effect doing different exercises that used the same muscle groups. Please answer this question, thanks!
