You need to find the thing that works for you and stick with it, last time i spoke to you you were doing sets of 2 i think?

IMO for you i would do 8-12 reps, just eat eat eat (and eat a lil more) set a weight goal you would like to be at. Get to say 6/7lbs heavier without worrying too much about bf% - ideally stay below 17%.

Once at this above target weight, cut down

Seriously, dont worry about a little fat, its easily knocked off - besides, your an ecto you'll struggle to put fat on

I think your diet is key here. Pop something on here so people can see it & we'll give you some good advice. I think you are placing too much credence in how many reps & sets you perform. Your stats & even a picture would make the task of advising a lot easier & more accurate too if it's poss. You say you hate your fat belly, but AH24 says you're an ectomorph. Clearly you have concerns about accumulating fat, but exactly how much you are carrying at the moment is not clear.

Diet for fat loss and resistance training for muscle gains.

Post up your diet I would like to look at that.
