Progress General

>>37420368
Routine is PPLxPPL

My chest is lacking big time. I dunno if I store more fat in this area or if the lack of chest isolation resulted in a lack of growth. I think bench is meme lift. I'm doing flies and other chest isolation's now. Only chest compound is weighted dips. which I did for the first time this week. I was able to go up to 75lbs for 10 reps, chest pump was great. I'm cutting bench from my routine.

>>37420368
Good progress. Looks like you kept your fat to muscle gain ratio equal.

>>37420368
It's alright to cheat on weekends, it's hard to maintain a diet if you're not very motivated. However, don't binge completely and disregard your diet, as this can essentially counter any effort you made during your week.

what the hell happened between 2 and 3 and between 3 and 4??

>>37424139

Comments like that make me really self conscious. I don't follow any specific workout plan, rather just spend an hour in the gym every day. I dedicate 1/3 of every workout to lower body and the other 2/3 to upper body. I don't know why my upper body has developed so much faster than my lower body.

keep biking, add some more cardio, read the sticky.

you want to be more effective with your training curls are not key to getting back in shape.
You already have pretty strong legs and if you start getting your squats in you'll be more confident too

>>37424216
>I spend twice as much time in the gym on my upper body than my lower body [despite the fact my lower body is a considerably larger and more fundamental set of muscles]
>I dunno why my upper body has developed so much faster

>>37424372
Thanks mate. I have started squats recently. Cant seem to get my legs any closer together than 90 degrees.

is walking 5 hours three days a week cardo? That's my job.

>>37424388

I just assumed there's more muscle groups to work in upper body though. Lower body I work quads, hamstrings, and calves. I toss in a few sets on the vagina machines every now and then.

But upper body has chest, shoulders, biceps, delts, lats, etc. Much more to develop up top so I figure it's worth dedicating more time to it.

>>37424482
walking is waaaay better than nothing. make sure you take care of your joints and such on the job but im sure youll see progress soon. you want to change your lifestyle and your body will change with it. that includes diet ofc.

for squats work on flexibility (maybe) and just do what your comfortable with then slowly ramp up to more depth and then weight.

This is my progress but idk if this is loose skin or fat...I'm guessing both but how much body fat am I would you guys guess?

It sucks because I feel the muscle under my chest and even my core under the fat / skin but how much more weight should I lose for the moons to be completely gone and my stomach to be flatter? I am currently 136lbs or so at 5'6 (manlet)...should I keep dropping some weight?

>>37425745
I'd bet mid to higj teens, gotta get to about 12% to see good definition. However, considering where you came from, you're doing fine

Mar 22 to May 25

5'11 Went from 74 kg at ~20% bodyfat to 66,5 kg at ~13,5% bodyfat (that's what the caliper says I don't know how accurate is that).
Had been doing only bodyweight exercise after a long period of stop due to injury (went from 6 pullups to 20 and from 3 dips to 15).

What do from here? I know for sure that I will have to stop training for around 20 days in august. Do I keep cutting? start eating at manteinance? At the end of august I wanted to start with the Greyskull while bulking. What's my best option in the meantime?

>>37427917
Do some bench and flys. Work on your chest and arms to match up with the core you already have.

>>37425873
I can squat significantly more, but I like to just throw in a 5x5 of 225 in every workout, because it's not a lift I'm actively trying to improve and it's way to easy to cheat.
Tomorrow it's...

>what did I miss fit

you missed those pubes growing on your face when you shaved the side of your head

Hey, anons. Need a short reply.

I'm new into dieting, so far I've never had a diet (besides the regular no over-eating, no fast-food, etc.) Been going to the gym for a couple of years now and figured that I should star losing fat and get myself some definition.

>>37423754

>Currently working on a pretty solid cut, good progress, going well. Keeping everything under control so can afford little treats so long as I keep track of the calories. Goal was to drop 15kg by August, currently dropped 16kg so already met my target, now pushing to see how much extra I can lose before then.
>Day is going great, finished my workout, sitting comfortable well under my TDEE for the day and planning on having a light dinner. Decide to have one of the gourmet cookies my housemate bought when we were out shopping today as a sweet treat because I'm plenty under today, he offered one and they can't be too bad. Really nice cookie, very enjoyable. A few hours later have dinner, decide to have a second one for a dessert because once again, plenty under, fairly active day.

So I just checked up how many calories were in those. Over six hundred each.
>Wake me up inside. [spoiler]Can't wake up.[/spoiler]

Hold me/ fit/, how is that even possible? How the fuck do you get nearly seven hundred calories in a single fucking cookie? I was expecting maybe two hundred or so since they are doughy gourmet cookies, but nah, today cut obliterated with over 1200 calories of cookies. If I'm lucky I may still be at around maintenance or so but fuck I guess it serves me right for not checking before having them.

I have a question and I didn't want to start a new thread for it.

So, coke is bad for you, yeah? I tried kicking it and made a few months, but I can't help but start drinking it again.

If I eat healthy otherwise, and even with coke my calorie intake is less than 1400 a day, will I still lose my belly?

>>37437012
Calories are the most important aspect of losing/gaining weight, but dousing your body in sugar isn't helping/healthy. Cut the soda man. You'll lose your taste for it eventually.

8th grade vs Senior Year.
I didn't lift til Freshman year, and fucked around too much until Junior year, when I got serious.

>>37437045
>You'll lose your taste for it eventually.
Not for me. It's been almost 6 months and I craved it til I drank it, then enjoyed it thoroughly.

I know coke is bad, but one a day on a otherwise healthy diet(I don't eat candy or anything else high in sugar) that is below what I burn is fine, I hope?

Also, I'm 285ish pounds and I east 1200-1400 calories a day. Is that low enough to lose weight without exorcising?

>>37437161
I would put my penis in 8th grade you no homo famalam.

>>37437161
diet,routine,height, and before and after weights?

>>37437185
That borderline too low. Won't have any energy for lifting/cardio.

Also, I found that it was less losing the taste for soda and more losing the taste for the shitload of sugar. Are you still consuming a lot of sugar outside of soda? If not then idk, everyone's different.

>>37437196
Ate pretty much whatever, but I've always eaten healthy since I was a kid. When I got serious I started eating eggs, whole wheat toast, and a protein shake for breakfast. Lunch would be pretty much whatever, and I would have another shake after working out and then eat dinner, which was always a meat, a starch, and a vegetable.

As for routine, I did a kinda-bro split when I was fucking around, didn't really make any gains til I bulked properly and did PPL, which I've been doing since.

First time I remember weighing myself was in 9th grade, I think I weighed 135 pounds or so. I broke 175 last week. I'm 6'1 now.

>>37437234
>Are you still consuming a lot of sugar outside of soda?
I never consumed a lot of sugar outside of soda ever.

Well.

Started this out almost two years ago at 210 pounds of literally no muscle. Worked my way down to 170 and am currently sitting around 180 to 185. Feels good as fuck comparing these two. Long way to go still but I may just make it...

>>37424482
it's not cardio unless you're constantly walking and your heart rate increases.
Walking around with lots of small stops still burns calories tho. 8h on 5 days of that plus gym every other day for compound lifts has me losing weight at 2k kcal atm.

Just get a grip on nutrition, cooking, meal prep. you'll enjoy learning something new, increase your confidence and be able to eat what you like without all the industrial fattener add-ins (there's sugar/syrup in literally everything)

>>37433593
If you're asking about supps only thing I'm taking is protein. Besides that I'm always pushing myself, if I can't move more weight I'll do more reps or sets. Lift and eat clean, you'll get there.

I started working out 2 months ago and Im currently going to the gym working on machines instead of free weight, is it a meme or did it work for you?

as in, 8 reps or 8 sets? going from no rep to 8 reps in three months is insane.

Longer time between pics, but I've been lifting for 10 months now. Did SS for 4 months and now been on custom Greyskull. Also done bouldering for ca 7 months.
Free weights are not a meme. Machines come nowhere close unless you want to do isolations.

showing improvement but take yourself seriously and don't cheat yourself. Keep at it

>>37423754
holy fuck how did you did it?

>>37443031
its a team fortress 2 reference
the head he shopped in on the pic is the engineer character from that game

Stopped lifting 2 years ago.
Took on a PhD in physics, literal 12 hour days, 6 to 7 days a week. Moved next to uni, so my entire workout consists of walking to the office which takes a solid 8 minutes. I'm up to 95kg of pure skinnyfatness, my slow-ass metabolism at 32 doesn't help either. Please someone put a bullet through my brains. And yes, I'm at work writing this.

Hard work and the realization that it would be a long process. Just make some progress every day, and eventually it adds up in the long run.

21/ 184cm/ 92->84kg 2 month progress
In feb i was 96kg weak and lazy skinnyfat fuck.
I started HIIT in march (stationary bike and swimming) 4-5 days a week. No junk food, ~2000kcal daily. Cheat day once per month.
In april(1st photo) i hit gym. 5 days a week, split workout
16 series/ 12-8 reps -chest, back and legs
12 series/12-8 reps - arms, shoulders
I took a photo every week and was pretty depressed because i didnt see any progress but now when i look at im pretty happy with results. Im going to cut until the end of august(goal is 80kg), then HEALTHY bulk (88kg by the end of next february). Final goal is 95kg/12%BF in 2 years. Do you think its achievable? I may buy BCAA and kreatine for bulk.
Any opinions, advices /fit/?

I think it's too early for a split and training for strength would be more optimal. I'd rather do 3-day full body with 3x5, 5x5 or maybe 3x8 if you really want to. Start The Pressing for them shoulders and maybe add some lat and front raises.

>perfect -> perfect -> perfect
this is a progress thread, either get fat or fuck off.

But I want to impress strangers on a Karelian fly-fishing board.

I'm not gonna lie, you used to look 12. Congrats on making it.

6'2" here, 200 lbs isn't going to get you six pack abs, gotta be at least less than 180 or unusually muscular. (which you're not)
