loose skin

[MuscleMessiah]

ive been training a guy for a show coming up in may, hes 5ft 9in. and hes been big all his life started out around 234 lbs. ive got him down to 195 and still progressing but im afraid he may have some loose skin around his midsection and around his chest. hes 32 yrs old and has decent muscle density and his bf% is at 14%. is there any thing besides surgery that can help tighten him up, hes going into this show natural which has been awesome considering his achievements.

It's temporary but it works. Have him apply Prep H cream to the loose skin morning and night. Works real good before tanning as well. It has been a tried and true method for many years by bodybuilders. Start at least 2-3 weeks prior comp.

w/love handles I always wondered about this. I can't diet down to see abs at top 4, but those fucking lil love handles.... drive me fucking ape shit. Bane of my existance. Esp since shamoo had shit on me i know itll take time - not sure what else to try.

I know ppl that lost tonnes of fat, but have no loose skin because they continued to maintain a very low bodyfat percentage for an extended period of time.

Competitors who go from overly heavy to 'in shape' (with no maintenance period) are more likely to have loose skin because of this - 'in shape' is very short-lived for them, so there's no real opportunity for the skin to tighten.

14% isn't 'lean' by any stretch IMHO. So, this after he hits contest-ready shape, I'd suggest he plan an off-season which revolves around staying lean (10-12%). This way, his skin gets time to get tight...and stay tight.

btw: Prep-H is a *very* short term solution.

I've used it while tanning... as well as prior to stepping onstage. The effects last for a couple hours at best.

It is a good solution and is easy to apply over the skin. The best and easy solution and thanks for the post.

I love to know here that I am on the practice of fat loose write now. And it actually work here but due to that I loose my weight and lost the original texture my skin and that does not look good.
