no bully edition unless you're DYEL
Good looks OP. If you're looking for advice I'd say work on arms to better match your chest and get a wider v taper to look like you have a smaller waist.
Been trying to bulk at a steady pace this winter, went from 6' 161 lbs in August to 172 lbs now. Pretty happy w the bit of size I've put on, excited to cut again but not sure when to begin
>>39883741
That's some camera magic. I don't look half your size at 185lb
no bully edition xD what a fag
>That body
>Shitting on dyels
opinions? 6'1'' 207
4 months lifting
Gone from 210 (like 7 lbs of water tho) ----> 169
Perma cut is awful feel.
Looking to bulk around 160-155. Yes yes, I know, slow and steady, clean food, etc. I'm not gonna gain all the weight back.
'Vacuum' pose just because you don't need to look like a bodybuilder to pose like one right?
>>39883741
Mirrin

You have nice frame/bone structure

Will chestlets ever learn?
>>39883946
That looks beyond awful
>>39883813
Thx for the flattery m8. It's w a fresh pump and a good pose, try it sometime it's decently flattering. Post a pic of yourself, I'd assume you're just a little higher BF and you'd look similar if you cut a bit. None of my lifts are impressive or anything I'm just still relatively lean.
>>39883946
169 lbs? You look so much smaller, how tall are you? Maybe it's just a reaaal tight vacuum
>>39883946
time 2 bulk fgt

You are a fat fuck. Not an opinion, a fact.
>>39883965
>I don't look good after 4 months of perma cutting
So surprising I was expecting to be 200lbs 10% bf by now
Ps: kill yourself

Ah yes I'm going to wax my hair, wouldn't want to hide my stirations and amazing definition!
>>39883989
AFAIK the fatter you are the more fat less muscle you gain bulking so I'm going to go for 9% bf and then bulk
up six pounds on a bulk and feeling fat as fuck.
Share opinions please

here's some motivation
>>39884867
It sucks dude. I have a small jiggly stomach and puffy nips. I just want to eat a huge fucking meal right now :(
J-just gotta fight it, anon. How far are you on your cut?
>>39884890
9 days lmao, why the fuck did i chose to cut at this time, all this good food but can't eat it
>>39884890
try IF tho, it helps a lot to push the calories to later at the day instead of going hungry to bed
>>39884835
Damnbro, impressive gains for 3 months, esp wearing Reeboks. I didn't see my noob gains come in til i switched to Adidas.
You guys mirin?
I'm trying my hardest, but I'm still not the boss of my gym. Suggestions?
Here's where I'm at 190 6'1.
>>39883741
mirin hair desu
>>39883946
Why would you cut almost 40 pounds? You did it wrong anon.. now you have to gain weight back or just workout and eat as needed, although it will take much longer to put on the weight.
>>39884536

I've been lifting on and off for about 2.5 years. I had to take 1 year off due to knee injury but I've been lifting for about 6 months consistently
current lifts are (in lbs)
atg squat 175x3x6
bench 155x3x6
db ohp 50x3x6
deadlift 240x2x6
I don't know about bf% sorry
>>39885850

Current lifts are:-
OHP - 72.5kg x5
Bench - 110kg x5
Squat - 142.5kg x5
DL - 220kg x5
DL is my best lift due to long monkey arms.

I have been.
How does no one understand that you don't go from fat with no muscle to lean with muscle in 4 months?
This is what a fatty that loses weight rapidly looks like... a skeleton.
Muscles don't magically fucking appear at a -1250 deficit
>>39885563
>Why would you cut almost 40 pounds?
Because I was LITERALLY obese?
>you did it wrong
I don't understand what part of it was wrong.
STRATEGY
1. STOP BEING A FAT FUCK (ALMOST DID THIS PART)
2. Lean bulk +250 (SOON).
What part of that is wrong?
>take much longer to put on the weight
Gee, I can't put on 40 lbs of muscle quickly? Surprising!
Btw, you look great, but you're not nearly as smart as you are shredded.
work on those brain gains

Not OP but this is me from a previous CBT thread, thanks for saving my pic.

Thanks for the advice. I'm torso dominant so arms have always lagged. Waist is small you're right (28/29"). Looking good too bro.

So lets get this straight... you come on to this board talking about a topic you claim to know so much about, yet went from fat to skinny fat. If you would've done it right, you would have put on some muscle and lost the fat without losing all of it with no muscle, i.e. skinnyfat. Now you have to go back to the habit of eating a lot to make gains. I'm not trying to formulate an opinion here on you.. but many bodybuilders (natty) bulk and cut to put on muscle. You could've lost 15 lbs, been strong as fuck, got your diet in check, and then slowly burnt fat and replaced it with muscle, but you went straight to auschwitz mode without focusing on the muscle being built under the fat.
Thanks for the brain comment. I work in the computer science field.

Idk if you can help me with this but why do you look so much bigger than this guy who's ~176 lbs in this picture? Is it just an illusion b/c you're leaner?
>>39889529
I'm >>39889285
This was how I started.
Been "lifting" for a couple months now (and by that I mean calisthenics + dumbbells I have at home, I can do a lot of pull ups!) after solely cutting since May, now I'm stuck in skinnyfat mode. Still cutting, still lifting, but I feel like I'm not gonna make it. The last few pounds of fat just won't leave my body and i don't feel good about myself. Feel like I have a shitty frame and I'm just not capable of attaining the body I want. What do?
5'9 155lbs
>>39889882
How bad am i going?
>>39889949
You need to make changes in your routine to keep yourself motivated. Also, might want to look into creatine and mass gainer. The fat is coming from your diet, so change things up. You are in control of how you look, sometimes you just need to take a step back and run a full analysis on what might be the problem/solution. Good luck.
>>39889996
You might want to get those tumors removed from your legs but everything else looks fine.
>>39890016
>Suggesting mass gainer to anyone
>At any time
Literally made of the same ingredients as gummy candy
>>39889698
>claim to know so much about
No, I never said that, all I said was *simply* common sense and googleable
>cut slow
And been obese forever? It's a health risk, to my heart, joints, etc.
Once again, not acting like an expert, google will confirm.
>now you have To go back to the habit of eating a lot
You really think an ex fatty will have trouble lean bulking?
>bulk and cut to put on muscle
Yeah. But they cut down to single digits and then bulk to like 12% (right? Common sense?). They don't try to gain fucking weight at 35% bf.
>without focusing on the muscle being built
The sooner I got lean, the sooner I could bulk and actually put on some lean mass instead of being fat forever and ever and and slowly gaining minimal lean mass because I was on deficiet (and being fat for year+ because of slow cut).
I see the argument you're trying to make but keep in mind my heart and joints are thanking me rn
>computer science
Pretty close to that for me, I work in hardware sales
>>39890103
Best of luck to you buddy! I'm not going to argue over the internet with someone else who's trying to make it their own way.
Also, hardware sales? Very cool that does sound pretty similar, although I didn't know they paid 6 figure salaries.
>>39890035
On my knees?
I've posted this once before, but maybe different people are on at different times, might hear something different, I don't know, be nice, be mean, whatever.
Been lifting for two months now. 5'11, 206 lbs, 19.7% bodyfat, down from 25.3%. Wondering what you guys think of my routine, so bear with me, here it is
>Shoulders/core on Monday (seated military, Z press, plank, lat raise, russian twist, face pulls)
>Back/triceps for Tuesday (DL, lat pulldown, skullcrushers, seated row, tricep extensions, reverse flys, tricep pushdowns)
>Legs on Wednesday (squats, straight-leg DL, split squats, glute bridge, step ups, adductor/abductions)
>Chest/biceps Thursday (bench press, incline DB press, seated incline bicep curls, middle/low pec flys, hammer curls)
>Cardio on Friday and Saturday (10-20 minutes on stairmaster, then 20-40 minutes walking incline treadmill), rest on Sunday.
No impressive lifting numbers, just working on getting all the lifting forms exactly right and making sure to isolate and tighten the muscles I need to use. Also recently added deficit deadlifts and pull-ups (for now, machine-assisted) to my repertoire. I tend to take in anywhere from 140-200g protein daily.
It's been fun so far.

>its been fun so far
Here's the secret, you don't need any advice. Lifting has been figured out, and you've found the biggest part, gl m8
>>39890265
>19.7 % bf
Try 25%+
>>39890306
Well, doing some calculations, at 206 lbs and then multiplying it by that percentage, I came out being 168 lbs lean. And I've put on about five pounds of lean mass in the first eight weeks, sounds right to me. But yeah, secret's out, I'm a flabby fuck and I'm staying disciplined to trim all the way down to 9-10%.

1 Year of Lifting
Advice?
used to weigh 110 lbs, ran cross-country and long distance track. started seriously working out, eating more & lifting about 5 months ago.
currently 131.6 lbs; been counting calories and slowly increasing my caloric intake every week. hoping to reach 150 - 160 by the end of the year.
my stats:
Bench: 175 x 1
DL: 250 x 3
Squat: 275 x 5
OHP: 125
i know i am a DYEL. what should i work on? thank you, much love.
(ps. peep the batman PJs. they fuckin glow in the dark)
>>39892801
Eat more, do more chest workouts.
5'10, 180lb. 2 years lifting. I gotta cut baka senpai desu

another bad pic of me trying to flex for you. ;)
>5,9" 131.6
been riding the creatine/mass gainer meme train for a while. diet consists of a lot of rice and chicken topped off with mass gainers and occasional fast food. but i end up shitting it all out in the end. im so fucking tired of being small.
Fuck I'm DYEL, anyone know and volume programs?
>>39893178
any*
God damnit
>>39892925
I'M THE SAME FUCKING HEIGHT AND WEIGHT AS YOU YET MY WAIST LOOKS LIKE DROOPY SHIT!!!
>>39893178
literally any program will work as long as you eat enough.
dyels seem to understand that fat people=too many calories but not that skinny=not enough calories.
eat more than they served at Auschwitz if you ever want to look like a normal human being
>>39893199
Cheers mang, starting food prep next week, any tips?
>>39893178
nice hips baby? what's your going rate?
>>39893204
I was like u when i started, the best advice i can give is to calc your tdee and buy a kitchen scale. If i only knew how important it is to eat enough..
>>39893204
i don't do meal prep for the week, it just doesn't work for me personally.
for people starting out, always track your total calorie intake as well as your macros. it will provide a solid understanding of the way your body works and the nutrients it needs.
don't be disappointed if you aren't gaining weight fast enough. it is better to slowly gain then to gain all at once, it makes cutting a lot easier. i recommend weighing yourself weekly. if you go 2 or so weeks with no weight gain then increase your caloric intake. Make sure to always weigh yourself at the same time of day, you will weigh different depending on when you eat and what time of the day it is. everyone has a different metabolism so it will take time to find out what works for you. most importantly, find food that you enjoy eating. if eating chicken breast beans and brown rice makes you want to kill yourself, then you won't be able to stick to it long term. there are plenty of great sources of carbs proteins and fats, don't limit yourself to bro food if you don't have to.
don't rush it. Fitness is about putting in hard work every day to be the best you can be 2 months from now.
