The only way to get rid of stubborn fatty deposits, like those love handles and chest area fat in some people, is to stay in a calorie-negative state long enough for your body to finally get around to sucking out the fat stored there. This could take a LONG time if you've had the fatty deposits there for more than a couple of years.
If the love handles have been there for that long, I'd recommend two back-to-back cutting cycles (12-16 weeks each) with a 4 week break between them. And, if you're concerned with losing muscle at all, this will HURT...that is unless you have something in your system to compete with all that cortisol....say, like AAS or something.
When I say calorie-negative, I mean that you are expending more calories on a daily basis than you are taking in. The two variables are intake (food) and expendature (resting metabolism + workouts).
If you've tracked what you eat and your weight fluctuations in the past, this won't be that difficult. If you haven't done that before, it'll be a little harder because you probably won't know where that caloric threshold for maintaining bodyweight is. In order to dig into fat, you need to plan to stay about 300 or more calories below maintance. And don't think you'll get there faster by staying MORE negative...it won't work...you'll just end up losing muscle FAST and making yourself absolutely crazy with the hunger. Another point...at some point, you may hit a wall and stop losing fat for a few weeks. If that happens, take a day or two and carb-up, and enjoy the cheat days. That should stimulate your metabolism so you can get back to fat-sucking.
The other side is the expendature side. Weight training with heavy weights is necessary to keep muscles stimulated to grow (although they won't because you aren't feeding them enough). Even though they won't grow, they will shrink slower (yes, some shrinkage is inevitable!). Cardio is necessary to burn off those calories and throw your body into fat burning mode. I'd recommend cardio in the am on an empty stomach and weights in the PM. The further in you get, the more your resting metabolism will diminish. That's when you can toss in an extra cardio session or two each week to keep calorie-negative.
I hope this doesn't sound too "preachy". ...just thought some of you guys might appreciate some shit I learned the hard way!

I've seen the Lee Priest photos in the latest MD.
Isn't it amazing the result that he got?!?!
And to think that he was never able to get in shape before he signed up with muscletech..lol
i bet u he probably has never even taken any muscle tech supplements.

It depends on where you are BF wise at the start. If this is you we are talking about. You are too lean in my opinion from what I have seen in the pictures to go on a severe diet without the risk of too much lean mass loss. I agree with BSBW if you are going to diet use AAS in the form of a cutting cycle. I know the tren gave yo some trouble but maybe a llight dosage of prop and some EQ or winny along with the above mentioned dietary methods( Low carb high protein, clen, t3, ECA, etc....).

I doubt I'll ever try dnp either... I already sweat at 70degreesF anyway. I'd look like that guy from airplane if I did DNP...sweat running off me like I had a sprinkler system installed in my scalp, LOL. Actually, I like the ECA/Clen/T3 strategy with prop/tren/EQ/winny for an effective cutting/diet cycle.

100% correct
That is a hundred percent correct. supplements are just for help. the real thing should be diet and cardio.
