Am I losin' fat or muscle?
So I stopped doing cardio for a while, or at the very most maybe like 10-15 mins of it.
I went from 194, where I looked pretty big, down to 170 right before isna. Wasnt super cut like the guy in the pic, but basically no love handles, and pretty trim. Then I gained 4-5 pounds, and recently, havent been doing much cardio, but this morning, I weighed myself and was 168. I havent been eating as much, maybe 1700 calories a day, 150 grams of protein, but been doing more reps at lower weight with almost no break (60 secs) (per the advice of the PT to gain more strenght with power) every other week in addition to heavy lifting where Im basically maxing out....so anyway, Im down to 168, and still got the same love handles I did at 174 or so....more than what i had around isna..but Im still as strong as or stronger than when I weighed 194...
so my question is this: since Im still as strong as when I was much 10-20 pounds heavier, is the weight ive been losing the past couple weeks muscle or fat?

it's on the bottom left part of the screen under top sellers. I use numbers 1, 2 and usaully 8. Check out, the price is really good and the quality can't be beat.
Try doing situps every day(M-F) as well. Do 3 sets of straight crunches and the next day do 3 sets of side oblique crunches and see how that goes. I just started and feel confident that results will soon come. I also do cardio for 15 minutes after MWF workouts. I do the treadmill but want to try the eliptical due to that shin burning pain I am now experiencing. Anyway, as long as you put in a nice short HIIT cardio workout in after a hard workout, you'll be fine. Don't worry about it too much. Just do your part and follow your regimen as best as possible and hopefully you'll see results.
I guess I'll try more cardio, but was I losing fat elsewhere? Seems like the only cardio where I lose fat around the stomach areas is the elitpical, keeping my heart rate up for a higher period of time...treadmill i tend to do more HIIT and that doesnt seem to work as well...eh
