Hi guys, I'm kind of stuck on what to do.
I'm very very new to weightlifting, I have had a few months of inconsistent experience at the gym. I have not lifted consistently for more than 3 weeks (3 times a week). I go months inbetween any kind of lifting and decided I need to pull my finger out.
My goals are; having an aesthetic body, and having a good amount of strength. I'm 21, just 6ft, and weigh 87kg.
My issue is that I have not much muscle at all, but quite a bad beer belly. I have no muscle on my upper body at all. My (visual) fat distribution seems to be entirely situated around my belly. It looks like a beer belly. I'm starting to notice slight love handles as well. I'm skinny fat. If I breath in, I can see slight ab definition.
My problem is, is that if I cut, I lose fat and strength, but I don't have much muscle underneath the fat.
If I bulk, I'll just exacerbate my skinnyfat-ness and beer belly.
I'm looking at beginner programs like starting strength or jason blaha 5x5 (I want a bit more isolation work)
My lifts atm are 1x120kg Squat or 5x5 of 100kg
1x170kg or 5x140kg Deadlift
60kg x 3 Bench (I haven't done a one rep max)
5x3 of 42.5kg Overhead Press
5x5 of 60kg Pendlay row
3 chin ups at a push
What do I do?!
