Hi,
I'm 23 and been training since 16 and I have not seen many results.
I also got a DEXA scan done recently and it showed 31% body fat.
The thing is that I feel for any healthy male even with a garbage program and average diet they could make more progress than I did in 7 years.
My stats:
-----
Height: 6'0"
Weight: 179 lbs
Body fat % (DXA confirmed 2x in last 6 months): 31% body fat
Dumbbell Shoulder press: Max 50 lbs dumbbell x 12
Dumbbell bench press: Max 75 lbs dumbbell x 5

The pics include a shirtless pic and the 2 Dexa pics.
So I am wondering about consulting a doctor as to whats going on with my body in terms of muscle gain and fat loss. Any time I tried losing fat I always lost a lot of muscle and during any time i tried to put on muscle i put a lot more fat and the cycle continued so I've basically not made much progress in 7 years whereas newbie kids who started gym after me always got more jacked in front of my eyes.
I am wondering what you guys think about the genetics/Hormone/Insulin/++ components here and what I should do/doctor to consult next? There is type 2 diabetes rampant in my family and nobody has ever been non-obese, my recent blood sugar was around 100 (borderline pre-diabetic) so that must play a role too.
Please help!
