Is it normal for a natural to have some lower belly fat?
I am an all natural bodybuilder that has been training for 6 years. at age 18 I started at 125lbs and I now weigh 170lbs at a height of 5ft 9in. My physique looks great except for some stubborn lower belly fat. I realize this problem is due to some dirty bulking in the past to get my weight up but now when I cut my calories back it seems all of my gains disappear in front of my eyes. as a natural, is a little lower belly fat okay? or am I not doing something right
It's just where you store fat, as most men do, even enhanced athletes. You just need to diet harder
I would schedule it, since nobody ever WANTS to take one!
Also, you're still training on deloads, I would keep cals the same but be reactive and adjust if needed
Is aspartame harmful?
what is your opinion on drinking diet soda? Is ingesting too much aspartame harmful?
Casein vs .concentrate vs. isolate
in your opinion,what is the best type of protein powder to make the most amount of gains. And also, would it be beneficial to take a casein before bed or when your not eating any food for an extended amount of time?
Casein has a lower biological value, so forget that crap. Unless eating ONLY protein powder, speed is irrelevant. All SCAM marketing!

Chest is chest. There is no lower chest, just a chest. You just have too much ft there. For chest, train it--presses and flys! For diet see dropfactorbook.com
Somatotype Training & Eating Differences
Do you believe in training and eating for your somatotype? If so, can you explain the differences in the training & eating protocols?
I don't believe in bodytypes, we are all unique! I believe in eating a healthy LIFESTYLE diet you enjoy! Check out www.dropfactorbook.com
What's the best way to switch to a ketogenic diet after being used to training hard with carbs?
If wanting to switch to a ketogenic diet for prep or during an off season what would be the best approach?
I do not like keto as an optimal diet for people looking to build muscle and burn fat. See my diet at www.dropfactorbook.com
bench/shoulder
any suggestions/subs exercise on doing press shoulder movement, due to injury (dislocated right shoulder) and same on my flat bench press any suggestions/subs exercise ( i do only all incline is this ok) big thankx
If injured, I would avoid pressing and stick to lateral raises, etc. For bench, use dumbbells. Barbell is not the best for shoulder health
Weak Bench
When bench pressing or doing unilateral dumbbell presses, my left side always gives out prior to my right. I feel like it is hindering my progress on my flat bench press and was wondering if you have techniques or workouts that would help?
You need to train them unilaterally PLUS see a specialist. If that bad on one side, could be a nerve issue.
