A little bit above 1/2/3 for 6-8 reps, I don't deadlift
What's your height and weight anon? Mirin physique.
Thanks brother, 1.77m (5ft10 I think) and 77kg (170lbs)
>5'8 1/2 (175cm exactly) >80.5kg
How do you look like that? How is your chest so big? I've only done pressup and dip variations for 10 years, and my chest has barely grown. I am about 41-42" around my chest, msotly thanks to my lats.
Went from ~140lbs and gradually bulked up to 197 then cut down to ~170 which I am now. I'm 5'11". Honestly haven't made much noticeable gains for awhile, but I just like lifting. I'm on a new program though so we'll see.
He's my husband. We've been together 10y now and I wouldn't have made it without him.

Cute, I wish I would be able to have a husband and a wife at the same time, having a husband seems so comfy but I find women to be hotter.

Thank you for your introspection and honesty. I knew it was bait to use that picture, but I cropped it tastefully and that was the leanest i'd ever been so it made a nice before pic. I'm 34.

This is the reason why I'd seriously consider honosexuality if I didn't like pussy so much: most women are an unnecessary burden, they almost always try to prevent you from greatness. I really hate whenever my gf pulls some stupid shit like "Why don't you stay in bed instead of going to the gym early in the morning?" or "Have a beer! One cannot hurt your cut, right?". Women are to the soul what a boulder is to a hot-air balloon.

What is it about your family finding out that makes you worry? Don't hold yourself back because your boomer parents clutch pearls about what the neighbours will think about your hot twink husband. If you're some straight married bro type who hangs out on SwoleShack because you low key like seeing dudes, I can see that being shitty and complicated :/
12 years between pics (not to be confused with 12 years of lifting)
in a sence ive made tremendous progress, in a much more real sense, im still not strong and still unhappy with my appearance.

I'm scared because I live in a tight knit place where lots of people wouldn't expect it from me. I know not to worry about what other people think but I'm scared of like my cousins and coworkers finding out mostly. I'm not here to look at dudes though I'm here because I lift and I'm only really into smaller feminine twinkish dudes as far as men go they are here but not as common as other gymbros.
>gutsanon was skinny-fat
i-is it true? can we skinny-fats make it?
One thing I hate about being skinnyfat is that IDK if I should bulk or cut. It keeps fucking with me one day ill not eat shit (less than 800 cals) and then other days eat like a fucking pig. I HATE IT. I can see a little less fat on me, (SW:156-57 CW:147-148) and some strength gains, but very little muscle and I know it's cause of my diet.
I dont know anymore. Maybe I should do a few 36hr fasts to cut down on more fat and then bulk. I'm just scared of getting fat again.
If you're skinnyfat and not obese then just eat at a slight surplus. You want to take advantage of your noob gains and starting on a cut isn't efficient. Have a plan and literally eat the same shit every single day.
Saved post. Thanks for that bro.
It's surprising because I didn't imagine you'd be a skinnyfat before, I pictured a fatass. Congrats on getting this big yet staying lean.
Thank you brother, I've never been fat and hope to never be.

Also you're my favorite, Gutsbro.
First pic is from 2 years ago at my leanest, second is from my first "bulk" from December 2020 and last one is from June.
Damn I'm same height but 10 kilos lighter. You're really giving me a point to aim at. You think your genetics are above average/average/worse than average?
Glad to hear friend. I have no idea about my genetics, never bothered me. I went through the trouble of finding my old pics because one of the comments I used to get was "shit chest genetics" or something similiar yet now my chest is one of my strong points. The genetics discussion seeped in from professional (roiding) bodybuilding, you'll be far better off focusing on your training and completely disregarding any genetics discussion.
Wish I had a real before pic at 105kg. Turns out getting into sports as a way to compensate for a food addiction isn't a good way to make progress ever. Who would have thought ? Still would do it all again just for the cardio gains.
favorite physique ITT, not to undermine your progress but you look great at every stage and weight
16y 465 > 19 210
I probably gained like 10 pounds over last few days because I literally almost died at the end of the last diet, and I lost roughly 15 pounds in a month in June, So I figured fuck it and (binge ate and didn't really care) but I'm back on the diet and going to 180.
I know I'm not a giga bro but I'm getting there, mind the saggy nips and loose skin.
I will throw my hat in the ring, fellas. We all have different goals and different abilities. We can choose to continue as losers or rise above and push through it. I want all of my skinny fat brothers to make it.
Keep lifting hard and eating less fatties

hey gutsanon, you do anything for core?
Only OHP, squats and front squats. I would fucking LOVE to do farmer's walks with a trap bar for juicy forearms, back and oblique gains but sadly I have neither the trap bar nor the space in my basement to perform them efficiently.
Lots of dairy, meat, lentils, bean, rice and pasta and some fruits and veggies. I have posted it before but I can repost if you want the details and protein count
I feel dirty sharing one I’ve shared before but rn I’m on week 5 out of 6 of a diet break before I can get back to cutting. Hope to have a third part to this series of pics of me once I’m absolutely shredded.
The diet break has been pretty successful though, have maintained 168-169ish the past 5 weeks fairly easily, even with some days slipping up and going way overboard on calories. Hope to get down to 150 once I start the diet back up and hopefully I don’t need to dip into the 140s but we’ll see.
Good job brother, keep on lifting and it's only ever gonna get better.

155 to 185 at 5'9
1 year and some change between the pics. The plan is to alternate recomps with lean bulks till I hit 195lbs, then start a 12-week cut in early March
I'm a dumbass, that pic is only a year old.
I got a really bad concussion (so bad it splice my skin at the hair line) and I've been kinda hazy since.
BTW is it safe to lift while concussed,? I did 16 close grip chinups instead of my usual 8 later in the day yesterday...
ok I’m actually not concussed I think I’m just retarded from xanax withdrawals. been taking a full stick a day for like 3 years and just stopped cold turkey. going through hell rn
they're probably the result of doing very light high rep sets of lateral raises frequently before work so my shoulders are warmed up for climbing/trimming hedges, the only other time I put any focus on it is during landmine rows with an attachment for more rom.
I added weights so I am doing dips with 30Kg making me around 110kg, and in my decline pressup and clapping pressup variations.
It's just my fucking chest won't grow. >pic related
me when I was around 77kg. >Lats
I do pullup variations, currently with an extra 13kg after suffering some time off, but I went up to 18kg before. I just got lucky with the lats I guess.

Blessed thread, thank you op, I will eat extra protein tonight and lift hard
Looking legendary bro
Thank you friends, there are a lot of great stories ITT
>it's another gutsanon post >he's the same height as me >he was the same weight as I am now, with no muscle
I hate fanboys but you are my biggest inspiration. I wanna get big like you, brah. Here's to losing this fat so I can revel in a bulk.
As chiche as it may sound, the reason I make these posts is for the "if I can do it then so can you" argument. If a skinnyfat dyel with no prior sport experience growing up on anime and vidya can make progress then so can everybody else. But my history with lifting has been very unorthodox and full of injuries at first so in this case I was even at a disantvantage compared to other first time lifters. If I can inspire even one anon then that's more than enough for me. Good luck ahead brother, here's to hoping in two years you'll be the one inspiring others.
How do I get as beautifully tan as you? I've cut out seed oils which I'm told makes people burn rather than tan. Any routine or just going outside shirtless?
Thank you, I progressively overload my sun exposure before swimming. At first I would stand under the sun for 20 minutes, then that gradually increased to 90 minutes, though I usually jump in the sea way before that. I don't use sunscreen and I have not had a burn in years. I have a theory that a weightlifter's lifestyle actually helps with tanning and staying burn free. If you want to try, see what your body can handle then increase yoir exposure little by little. Also I eat a lot of carrots and apricots which supposedly help with tanning but I eat them cause I like them a lot
>But my history with lifting has been very unorthodox and full of injuries at first so in this case I was even at a disantvantage compared to other first time lifters
greentext?
I suck at greentexts so I'll just do it the normal way. I started lifting when the lockdowns began back in March 2020. Obviously gyms were closes so I borrowed two adjustable dumbbells that went up to 15kg (30lbs) and started lifting at home. My first day I got so sore lifting I couldn't even extend my arms for a week but I kept on going the moment my arms were back to normal. I used to do all kinds of shit to compensate for my lack of pl8s or barbell, I even used broomsticks as a makeshift barbells. Eventually I got my own bar, and used the pl8s from the dumbbells. I used to snap my back muscles frequently because of my winged scapula, once I snapped em so hard I could barely move for a week, couldn't even put on a shirt on my own. But again, the only thing I could think of was recovering and lifting again. Finally I got my own pl8s in December 2020, and could finally truly progress for the first time. It was a game changer but I still didn't have a bench or stands, so I floor pressed from the edge of my bed and cleaned the bar for OHP, squats and front squats. This went on for another six months, and then I finally commisioned a metal worker to make me a bench and stands (gym equipment was still ridiculously expensive due to covid) in June 2021. Now I had both the equipment and the weights necessary, and it's been smooth sailing since then apart from some minor injuries. Looking back, my first year was severely hindered by baby weights and no equipment, but with proper patience I found out that it didn't really matter in the end. That's why I tell noobies to not obsess over ideal conditions, minmaxxing routines and maximising their potential. Perseverance is the true king.
I probably gained like 10 pounds over last few days because I literally almost died at the end of the last diet, and I lost roughly 15 pounds in a month in June, So I figured fuck it and (binge ate and didn't really care) but I'm back on the diet and going to 180.
I know I'm not a giga bro but I'm getting there, mind the saggy nips and loose skin.
I'm getting that shit cut off don't worry fuck that. One major reason I wanted to lose weight was to give major orgasms to chicks and loose skin won't help.
I literally can't tell how fat I still am too. Any help on that would be nice.
>I'm getting that shit cut off don't worry fuck that.
Yeah well let's hope the surgeries get better in the future. >Any help on that would be nice.
I've never been morbidly obese but I use a VeSync scale (you can buy them for like $30 on Amazon). It basically a scale you hookup to an app and it tells you a bunch of shit other than weight like body fat %, subcutaneous vs visceral fat, body water %, muscle mass, bone mass, etc etc. It's not a perfect science and some people question the accuracy but i've gotten my measurements professionally done and it's close enough tbh. It's a much much funner way to track progress than just weight alone so it'll help keep you motivated.
Buy it, it'll be a good investment.
This is the one I have:
https://www.amazon.com/Etekcity-Bathroom-Weighing-Bluetooth-Electronic/dp/B095YJW56C/ref=sr_1_6?k=vesync+scale&crid=1Q04MPFSH9BP7&sprefix=vesync+scal%2Caps%2C138&ref=nb_sb_noss_2&crid=1Q04MPFSH9BP7&keywords=vesync+scale&qid=1657848671&sprefix=vesync+scal%2Caps%2C138&sr=8-6
Thanks, I have one of those scales at my gym, but the last time I did it it said i was 18% BF so yeah. I have always wanted one of those too.
I don't even know where to start looking, but I expect to do it by Jan-March next year so I can be recovered by my birthday. I know price will be roughly 30k so holy fuck, but whatever I guess getting mad at it is useless.
I personally wouldn't get the surgery until you're at the very lowest bf% you can possibly be at. Otherwise you're just going to lose more weight and it'll mess up the 'tightness'.

I don't have any set skinny point since I've been obese since I came out of the womb. So I don't know how much weight I should realistically aim for. I never planned on being under 170, so I felt 180 was a fine point, which is what I'm aiming for before end of year.

Normally at 5'8'' 150-160lbs is perfect for somebody who lifts, so considering your loose skin 180 is probably good.
Go to a fucking doctor and get your bf percentage. And maybe get a proper diet: cutting to the point of "almost dying" and then binge eat is a clear sign you are doing something wrong. Don't be dumb, you'll fuck up your health.
Yeah I should do BF % at a DR
The Cutting till almost dead thing had nothing to do with starving or improper diet in the sense of eating like a retard. Well... I guess I did eat like a retard, because the reason I was almost dying was <30g of fat for like 6 months.
Congrats! on your new healthier body. Ill bet you feel so much better. Make sure that you have changed your lifestyle, thats the most difficult is that you cant go back. Stay positive and great things will come
Thanks, I suppose I notice a healthier me physically and cardiovascularly, but I honestly have been so focused on the progress I don't feel mentally better at all, probably worse, but it's in the sense of "not good enough" versus "kys now". Honestly I don't think I can ever get MASSIVE again, Once I hit 180 I would kick shit back into gear if god forbid I hit 200 again. But I researched about training and nutrition so autisticly that I literally can't gain unless I'm being fat and lazy (like I have been in the last few days). On that note starting like 2 days ago I added a 15 mile bikeride to my day (I used to not be able to do 5 minutes on stationary), not only does it not allow me to eat, but I get to eat like 400-800 more calories a day(if someone could help me estimate) not including my 10k steps. So my final cut cycle to 180 should honestly be the easiest, it just becomes a matter of doing it now, I'm very sick of cutting cause it's been 26 months. So while this break is negatively effecting me pound wise, I think it is a great break mentally. I'm over just about everything I've overindulged on these last few days and am truly honestly ready to get back on track. Just a matter of doing this shit now. Possibly will post 180 results
I WILL HOWEVER POST LOOSE SKIN SURGERY RESULTS FOR ANY OBESE ANONS WANTING TO SEE FOR THEMSELVES. I WON'T AUTISTICALLY JOURNAL BUT YEAH
I forgot to mention that I am not actually sick of what I eat at all. It was a matter of being hungry as fuck, and I didn't eat highly palatable foods for like 8 months straight cause I got super autistic. So I'm back to my diet plan and then I'll intentionally add treats (like a donut once every sunday or some stupid shit) over the course of the diet so I never binge again.
I have pretty bad body dysmorphia to the point I imagine having loose skin when I don't. I feel bad for anyone who actually does have it that surgery doesn't look like it would have a fun recovery to get rid of it so if I did actually have that issue I'd just deal with it.
I hit 465 in 16 years, I have no problem being a bloatlord. I just went out and got a dozen donuts like 8 days over the course of 14. On top of ice cream, burritos, chicken strips, and mozzerlla sticks. I don't actually know how much I gained, but counting the calories it was roughly 25k +?
On top of that I eat in a 1k minimum deficit, and don't count any activity including cardio, so on top of working outside I went from 215 to 201.4 in like 15 days.
>counting the calories it was roughly 25k +
Holy shit my guy, that's impressive. I get a giant stomach ache when I go over a few hundred calories. Your stomach must be stretched to the size of a garbage bag. Go talk to a psychologist. Even if you lose the weight, it'll come back later on unless you tackle your binge eating disorder.
I don't particularly have a problem where I can't stop myself, I just never did. I'm perma fucked though on my fullness meter. It takes roughly 3 pounds of watermelon to be like "full" not satisfied not stuffed. I started off intermittent fasting and I noticed pretty good returns on not eating so much in one sitting. I converted to high volume eating because I was so fucking hungry at the end of my diet though. So when I lose my weight I may switch to IF for a few just to get a grip back on my fullness.
Yeah I probably need a psychologist or therapist or some shit for vast reasons. But I have converted to mainly whole foods and the anabolic diet. This was the first "binge session" I have ever done... Aside from when I was morbidly obese eating 5k cals in 1 dominos order.

Idk there's not much bad that can be said for pull-ups imo I'm confused as well my back exploded after getting good at pull-ups. Maybe he meant he's not doing pull-ups but we should.
>mfw I started as a skinny fat piece of shit >now get called a 7/10 and and my cock grew by like 2 inches when the fat covering it was lost
This is something I will give to all of you skinnyfat fags/robots who are starting out lifting. DONT JUST FUCKING LIFT. Clothes, smell, confidence, etc will take you places and if you want, get you sex. Being fit is a part of getting your shit together but don't end up like a gymcel worrying that his calves aren't big enough and destroying your body with roids for fags on the internet.
Great job OP btw.
Pic from Oct last year - now. Lifting for strength since around mid april. Not a whole lot of gains but its something, and im trying to do everything right. Lift heavy, eat right, sleep right. My sleep sucks but ive been diligent about improving it. I have chronic issues so its a little out of my hands
honestly dude you're very skinnyfat and should probably get your t levels checked
best thing you can do is cut down to skelly mode, you look like shit and will continue looking like shit for years if you don't make an effort to scrape the fat away
I got it checked last year and my doc said it was normal but he didnt mention a specific number. I feel like im getting stronger even if my transformation isn't crazy. Its only been a few months. If i still feel dyel by winter then yeah maybe theres something wrong
>I have chronic issues so its a little out of my hands
What kind of issues man?
Its been improving but i have gut issues which affect my sleep
Sure. I get very gassy which presses down on my bladder. Ive been chugging apple cider vinegar and have been trying to limit my dairy intake and its helped. Open to any suggestions you might have. Also have been making kefir and kombucha but its not a daily thing yet
Damn, I have had no experiences with gas problems so I can't really help, I can only share that in my experience dairy keeps me full and satiated so our digestive system probably works differently. Kefir is the shit tho, definitely make it a thing before bed. I drink some with cheese and some raw garlic and I sleep like a baby
Looking pretty good much better than the before. Don't know why everyone is being so harsh. That said, this sort of transformation is to be expected when you do strength training instead of bodybuilding
Periodisation like you described is a great way to train but it's usually done over periods of weeks and months not years. I don't know of anyone doing what you described.
I've always been interested in this idea. But I do know about weekly/monthly Periodisation . I probably will just have to end up doing that instead. Only issue I have would be bulking for say strength then having to cut before starting a hypertrophy split. Wouldn't it work like that?
fuck copium you guys are giving us hope, bonus for doing so while we’re at the very lowest point in /fit thread quality history
Best thread in months.
I wouldn't go that far lads but I'm happy to see that hope can still be ignited
Thank you lads. I finally lost enough weight to do a couple strict form pull ups when I couldn't even hang on the bar properly. Remember, if I can do it so can you

jan-june last year , its so hard to put on healthy weight but i run a majority of the time. Use to do like 1 hour at 8 mile speed 3-4 times a week. tbh weightlifting is so tiresome, I heard more reps and less weight is the way to go. just need to get back into it though
first 3 months i literally just did pic related, noob stuff with like 30-40 miles of running/ then started with meme videos for the summer. a mixture of these 2 videos all while improving my running. j https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0p-IgSwrGk

A little bit above 1/2/3 for 6-8 reps, I don't deadlift
Thanks brother, 1.77m (5ft10 I think) and 77kg (170lbs)
How much did you weigh before?
>5'8 1/2 (175cm exactly)
>80.5kg
How do you look like that? How is your chest so big? I've only done pressup and dip variations for 10 years, and my chest has barely grown. I am about 41-42" around my chest, msotly thanks to my lats.
2019 (~180lbs) to 2022 (~230lbs)
Get big and stay big my bros.
Looking huge, very nice!
why is that man touching you like that
If he looked like that I'd be touching him too.
its making me uncomfy
He's my husband. We've been together 10y now and I wouldn't have made it without him.
Why?
mirin chin
>He's my husband. We've been together 10y now and I wouldn't have made it without him.
Cute, I wish I would be able to have a husband and a wife at the same time, having a husband seems so comfy but I find women to be hotter.
do you guys live monogamous or in an open marriage? legitimately curious
>open marriage
what an oxymoron
We have always been monogamous. We can't do any better than each other anyways lmao
Thank you for your introspection and honesty. I knew it was bait to use that picture, but I cropped it tastefully and that was the leanest i'd ever been so it made a nice before pic. I'm 34.
This is fantastic. You absolute giant.
oh ok youre old i still have time hehe
Based monogamous gay man, fighting stereotypes and shit.
Unfathomably based openly gay man, also mirin' physiques
it just looked like the start to porn is all
im not uncomfy now im just angry and sad and jealous, how old are you if you dont mind me asking :p
You guys better be the wholesome type of gay couple and not the degen kind
This is the reason why I'd seriously consider honosexuality if I didn't like pussy so much: most women are an unnecessary burden, they almost always try to prevent you from greatness. I really hate whenever my gf pulls some stupid shit like "Why don't you stay in bed instead of going to the gym early in the morning?" or "Have a beer! One cannot hurt your cut, right?". Women are to the soul what a boulder is to a hot-air balloon.
I could be a top to a small twink dude but the hard part would be my family finding out eventually. I used to be kind of a homosexual though I doubt they'd be surprised.
how were you kind of a homosexual? :0
I was kind of feminine at one point compared to now I realized that's not who I am, I never did anything gay though.
oh thats literally me lol kinda feminine but never doing gay stuff lol
btw are you still the anon that i said made me uncomfy?
I think I made you uncomfy. I hope you're feeling less angry and sad this morning. Hetero norms don't fit everyone, dont beat yourself up about it. You can be a bit fem if you want, son.
What is it about your family finding out that makes you worry? Don't hold yourself back because your boomer parents clutch pearls about what the neighbours will think about your hot twink husband. If you're some straight married bro type who hangs out on SwoleShack because you low key like seeing dudes, I can see that being shitty and complicated :/
More fantastic progress. I'm sorry for your loss anon.
nono im gay and i know that i was just jealous about you having a husband but also im only 18 so thats just me being crazy
also i thought you were that other guy youre responding to
that should be me playing switch next to my boyfriend
I'm scared because I live in a tight knit place where lots of people wouldn't expect it from me. I know not to worry about what other people think but I'm scared of like my cousins and coworkers finding out mostly. I'm not here to look at dudes though I'm here because I lift and I'm only really into smaller feminine twinkish dudes as far as men go they are here but not as common as other gymbros.
One thing I hate about being skinnyfat is that IDK if I should bulk or cut. It keeps fucking with me one day ill not eat shit (less than 800 cals) and then other days eat like a fucking pig. I HATE IT. I can see a little less fat on me, (SW:156-57 CW:147-148) and some strength gains, but very little muscle and I know it's cause of my diet.
I dont know anymore. Maybe I should do a few 36hr fasts to cut down on more fat and then bulk. I'm just scared of getting fat again.
If you're skinnyfat and not obese then just eat at a slight surplus. You want to take advantage of your noob gains and starting on a cut isn't efficient. Have a plan and literally eat the same shit every single day.
Saved post. Thanks for that bro.
It's surprising because I didn't imagine you'd be a skinnyfat before, I pictured a fatass. Congrats on getting this big yet staying lean.
Thank you brother, I've never been fat and hope to never be.
Obviously natty.
First pic is from 2 years ago at my leanest, second is from my first "bulk" from December 2020 and last one is from June.
Glad to hear friend. I have no idea about my genetics, never bothered me. I went through the trouble of finding my old pics because one of the comments I used to get was "shit chest genetics" or something similiar yet now my chest is one of my strong points. The genetics discussion seeped in from professional (roiding) bodybuilding, you'll be far better off focusing on your training and completely disregarding any genetics discussion.
Wish I had a real before pic at 105kg. Turns out getting into sports as a way to compensate for a food addiction isn't a good way to make progress ever. Who would have thought ? Still would do it all again just for the cardio gains.
favorite physique ITT, not to undermine your progress but you look great at every stage and weight
not tagging everyone but impressive transformations here
Damn I'm same height but 10 kilos lighter. You're really giving me a point to aim at. You think your genetics are above average/average/worse than average?
I was 180/42 2 years ago, now I am 180/57, I am getting there my brah, wait for me at 70
>day 8
what
Don't let Randy read this or he is gonna cry
shhh dont mention him hell ruin the thread
Based gutsanon.
How old are you if you don't mind me asking?
I'm in my early 20s
Thanks for answering my question, you're distilled hopium bro keep it up
>keep it up
No intention of stopping brehs ;^)
Only OHP, squats and front squats. I would fucking LOVE to do farmer's walks with a trap bar for juicy forearms, back and oblique gains but sadly I have neither the trap bar nor the space in my basement to perform them efficiently.
hey gutsanon, you do anything for core?
natty? routine? bulk / cut cycles? strenght level?
What's your height and weight anon? Mirin physique.
>gutsanon was skinny-fat
i-is it true? can we skinny-fats make it?
All of us can make it.
Lots of dairy, meat, lentils, bean, rice and pasta and some fruits and veggies. I have posted it before but I can repost if you want the details and protein count
not that anon but repost pls,
you give me hope
Check the thread and see for yourself
mirin, diet?
Mirin OP, good work
Good job brother, keep on lifting and it's only ever gonna get better.
mirin progress brahs
nice lats lad
Found the better pic.
I feel dirty sharing one I’ve shared before but rn I’m on week 5 out of 6 of a diet break before I can get back to cutting. Hope to have a third part to this series of pics of me once I’m absolutely shredded.
The diet break has been pretty successful though, have maintained 168-169ish the past 5 weeks fairly easily, even with some days slipping up and going way overboard on calories. Hope to get down to 150 once I start the diet back up and hopefully I don’t need to dip into the 140s but we’ll see.
How'd you do it?
0.8g-1g protein per pound body weight. Adjust calories until you get weight loss at a reasonable rate.
All exercises pushed to failure. Started with greyskull LP, then did upper lower, now I’m doing Upper/Lower/off/push/pull/legs.
I really think training to failure on every exercise, every set, is hugely under rated.
sick progress bro
very nice
188cm / 6'2
78kg / 170lbs
Great work on the cut
Went from ~140lbs and gradually bulked up to 197 then cut down to ~170 which I am now. I'm 5'11". Honestly haven't made much noticeable gains for awhile, but I just like lifting. I'm on a new program though so we'll see.
155 to 185 at 5'9
1 year and some change between the pics. The plan is to alternate recomps with lean bulks till I hit 195lbs, then start a 12-week cut in early March
you look exactly the same, i don't believe there's a 30lb difference between the photos
don't listen to this retard
106 to 88kg
literally perfect
I'm at your before after a year. How'd you cut the flab?
Cutting calories
LISS
How
Chemical intervention
Lol
so close to quads
I'm too much of a retard to do this right. Top is two days ago, bottom is 1.5 years ago. About 40 lbs of difference.
Great job, 40lbs is a huge difference for two years and you seem to have fixed your asymmetry as well
I'm a dumbass, that pic is only a year old.
I got a really bad concussion (so bad it splice my skin at the hair line) and I've been kinda hazy since.
BTW is it safe to lift while concussed,? I did 16 close grip chinups instead of my usual 8 later in the day yesterday...
ok I’m actually not concussed I think I’m just retarded from xanax withdrawals. been taking a full stick a day for like 3 years and just stopped cold turkey. going through hell rn
That's rough man tough withdrawals on that shit good luck man.
long torso anon reporting in as usual.
almost fixed my tan will take a better pic in a while.
dayum you are long, looking good though, kinda manga physique
80s mecha physique
my proportions are good for my work as arborist and pastime of swimming so I'm happy with it.
Great progress, those shoulders are insane
What do you do for shoulders bro
they're probably the result of doing very light high rep sets of lateral raises frequently before work so my shoulders are warmed up for climbing/trimming hedges, the only other time I put any focus on it is during landmine rows with an attachment for more rom.
I added weights so I am doing dips with 30Kg making me around 110kg, and in my decline pressup and clapping pressup variations.
It's just my fucking chest won't grow.
>pic related
me when I was around 77kg.
>Lats
I do pullup variations, currently with an extra 13kg after suffering some time off, but I went up to 18kg before. I just got lucky with the lats I guess.
Long ways to go, but 60lbs down since the end of January.
Keep up the good work, 60lbs is big no pun intended
nice job, keep it goin
that's nearly 2lb a week, impressive
impressive and Congrats!
keep at it
Giga based if natty
Giga cringe if fraud
/thread
>I can post a timeline of my physique progress if that's helpful.
Not that anon but please do.
Also you're my favorite, Gutsbro.
I made this a few days ago it's roughly 2 years of progress.
Nice, gay tats tho.
drop the dose you just look daft
I'm natty man why do you guys always say this to me.
Sorry for late reply but thank u frens
fantastic work anon
Thank you friends, there are a lot of great stories ITT
As chiche as it may sound, the reason I make these posts is for the "if I can do it then so can you" argument. If a skinnyfat dyel with no prior sport experience growing up on anime and vidya can make progress then so can everybody else. But my history with lifting has been very unorthodox and full of injuries at first so in this case I was even at a disantvantage compared to other first time lifters. If I can inspire even one anon then that's more than enough for me. Good luck ahead brother, here's to hoping in two years you'll be the one inspiring others.
Thank you, I progressively overload my sun exposure before swimming. At first I would stand under the sun for 20 minutes, then that gradually increased to 90 minutes, though I usually jump in the sea way before that. I don't use sunscreen and I have not had a burn in years. I have a theory that a weightlifter's lifestyle actually helps with tanning and staying burn free. If you want to try, see what your body can handle then increase yoir exposure little by little. Also I eat a lot of carrots and apricots which supposedly help with tanning but I eat them cause I like them a lot
>But my history with lifting has been very unorthodox and full of injuries at first so in this case I was even at a disantvantage compared to other first time lifters
greentext?
I suck at greentexts so I'll just do it the normal way. I started lifting when the lockdowns began back in March 2020. Obviously gyms were closes so I borrowed two adjustable dumbbells that went up to 15kg (30lbs) and started lifting at home. My first day I got so sore lifting I couldn't even extend my arms for a week but I kept on going the moment my arms were back to normal. I used to do all kinds of shit to compensate for my lack of pl8s or barbell, I even used broomsticks as a makeshift barbells. Eventually I got my own bar, and used the pl8s from the dumbbells. I used to snap my back muscles frequently because of my winged scapula, once I snapped em so hard I could barely move for a week, couldn't even put on a shirt on my own. But again, the only thing I could think of was recovering and lifting again. Finally I got my own pl8s in December 2020, and could finally truly progress for the first time. It was a game changer but I still didn't have a bench or stands, so I floor pressed from the edge of my bed and cleaned the bar for OHP, squats and front squats. This went on for another six months, and then I finally commisioned a metal worker to make me a bench and stands (gym equipment was still ridiculously expensive due to covid) in June 2021. Now I had both the equipment and the weights necessary, and it's been smooth sailing since then apart from some minor injuries. Looking back, my first year was severely hindered by baby weights and no equipment, but with proper patience I found out that it didn't really matter in the end. That's why I tell noobies to not obsess over ideal conditions, minmaxxing routines and maximising their potential. Perseverance is the true king.
>a skinnyfat guy who started with dumbbels and broomsticks becomes an inspiration for his fellow skinnyfats
that's some manga underdog story shit
Blessed thread, thank you op, I will eat extra protein tonight and lift hard
16y 465 > 19 210
I probably gained like 10 pounds over last few days because I literally almost died at the end of the last diet, and I lost roughly 15 pounds in a month in June, So I figured fuck it and (binge ate and didn't really care) but I'm back on the diet and going to 180.
I know I'm not a giga bro but I'm getting there, mind the saggy nips and loose skin.
Great job man. How tall are you?
I actually don't know
Long story short either 5'8 or 5'10, so I calculate everything at 5'8 but the hoes know me as 5'10.
>I calculate everything at 5'8 but the hoes know me as 5'10.
Loose skin to me is grosser than being fat, tbh.
At least you'll live longer. Goodjob I guess.
I'm getting that shit cut off don't worry fuck that. One major reason I wanted to lose weight was to give major orgasms to chicks and loose skin won't help.
I literally can't tell how fat I still am too. Any help on that would be nice.
>I'm getting that shit cut off don't worry fuck that.
Yeah well let's hope the surgeries get better in the future.
>Any help on that would be nice.
I've never been morbidly obese but I use a VeSync scale (you can buy them for like $30 on Amazon). It basically a scale you hookup to an app and it tells you a bunch of shit other than weight like body fat %, subcutaneous vs visceral fat, body water %, muscle mass, bone mass, etc etc. It's not a perfect science and some people question the accuracy but i've gotten my measurements professionally done and it's close enough tbh. It's a much much funner way to track progress than just weight alone so it'll help keep you motivated.
Buy it, it'll be a good investment.
This is the one I have:
https://www.amazon.com/Etekcity-Bathroom-Weighing-Bluetooth-Electronic/dp/B095YJW56C/ref=sr_1_6?k=vesync+scale&crid=1Q04MPFSH9BP7&sprefix=vesync+scal%2Caps%2C138&ref=nb_sb_noss_2&crid=1Q04MPFSH9BP7&keywords=vesync+scale&qid=1657848671&sprefix=vesync+scal%2Caps%2C138&sr=8-6
Thanks, I have one of those scales at my gym, but the last time I did it it said i was 18% BF so yeah. I have always wanted one of those too.
I don't even know where to start looking, but I expect to do it by Jan-March next year so I can be recovered by my birthday. I know price will be roughly 30k so holy fuck, but whatever I guess getting mad at it is useless.
>getting mad at it is useless
true
I personally wouldn't get the surgery until you're at the very lowest bf% you can possibly be at. Otherwise you're just going to lose more weight and it'll mess up the 'tightness'.
I don't have any set skinny point since I've been obese since I came out of the womb. So I don't know how much weight I should realistically aim for. I never planned on being under 170, so I felt 180 was a fine point, which is what I'm aiming for before end of year.
Normally at 5'8'' 150-160lbs is perfect for somebody who lifts, so considering your loose skin 180 is probably good.
Good luck.
Go to a fucking doctor and get your bf percentage. And maybe get a proper diet: cutting to the point of "almost dying" and then binge eat is a clear sign you are doing something wrong. Don't be dumb, you'll fuck up your health.
Yeah I should do BF % at a DR
The Cutting till almost dead thing had nothing to do with starving or improper diet in the sense of eating like a retard. Well... I guess I did eat like a retard, because the reason I was almost dying was <30g of fat for like 6 months.
Thanks, I suppose I notice a healthier me physically and cardiovascularly, but I honestly have been so focused on the progress I don't feel mentally better at all, probably worse, but it's in the sense of "not good enough" versus "kys now". Honestly I don't think I can ever get MASSIVE again, Once I hit 180 I would kick shit back into gear if god forbid I hit 200 again. But I researched about training and nutrition so autisticly that I literally can't gain unless I'm being fat and lazy (like I have been in the last few days). On that note starting like 2 days ago I added a 15 mile bikeride to my day (I used to not be able to do 5 minutes on stationary), not only does it not allow me to eat, but I get to eat like 400-800 more calories a day(if someone could help me estimate) not including my 10k steps. So my final cut cycle to 180 should honestly be the easiest, it just becomes a matter of doing it now, I'm very sick of cutting cause it's been 26 months. So while this break is negatively effecting me pound wise, I think it is a great break mentally. I'm over just about everything I've overindulged on these last few days and am truly honestly ready to get back on track. Just a matter of doing this shit now. Possibly will post 180 results
I WILL HOWEVER POST LOOSE SKIN SURGERY RESULTS FOR ANY OBESE ANONS WANTING TO SEE FOR THEMSELVES. I WON'T AUTISTICALLY JOURNAL BUT YEAH
I forgot to mention that I am not actually sick of what I eat at all. It was a matter of being hungry as fuck, and I didn't eat highly palatable foods for like 8 months straight cause I got super autistic. So I'm back to my diet plan and then I'll intentionally add treats (like a donut once every sunday or some stupid shit) over the course of the diet so I never binge again.
I have pretty bad body dysmorphia to the point I imagine having loose skin when I don't. I feel bad for anyone who actually does have it that surgery doesn't look like it would have a fun recovery to get rid of it so if I did actually have that issue I'd just deal with it.
i'm like only 20lbs overweight MAX and I have irrational paranoias about loose skin too kek. glad to know im not the only one
>lose 15lbs in 30 days
>gain 10 in 2
How is that possible brother?
I hit 465 in 16 years, I have no problem being a bloatlord. I just went out and got a dozen donuts like 8 days over the course of 14. On top of ice cream, burritos, chicken strips, and mozzerlla sticks. I don't actually know how much I gained, but counting the calories it was roughly 25k +?
On top of that I eat in a 1k minimum deficit, and don't count any activity including cardio, so on top of working outside I went from 215 to 201.4 in like 15 days.
>counting the calories it was roughly 25k +
Holy shit my guy, that's impressive. I get a giant stomach ache when I go over a few hundred calories. Your stomach must be stretched to the size of a garbage bag. Go talk to a psychologist. Even if you lose the weight, it'll come back later on unless you tackle your binge eating disorder.
I don't particularly have a problem where I can't stop myself, I just never did. I'm perma fucked though on my fullness meter. It takes roughly 3 pounds of watermelon to be like "full" not satisfied not stuffed. I started off intermittent fasting and I noticed pretty good returns on not eating so much in one sitting. I converted to high volume eating because I was so fucking hungry at the end of my diet though. So when I lose my weight I may switch to IF for a few just to get a grip back on my fullness.
Yeah I probably need a psychologist or therapist or some shit for vast reasons. But I have converted to mainly whole foods and the anabolic diet. This was the first "binge session" I have ever done... Aside from when I was morbidly obese eating 5k cals in 1 dominos order.
Congrats! on your new healthier body. Ill bet you feel so much better. Make sure that you have changed your lifestyle, thats the most difficult is that you cant go back. Stay positive and great things will come
Looking legendary bro
Keep lifting hard and eating less fatties
nice
really well done m8 look at those delt veins
Thanks brah, they like to come out with a good pump
>147 lbs
Have I broken through the skinny fat phase, anons?
yea nigga you cut
Are you telling me to cut or that I did cut?
I will throw my hat in the ring, fellas. We all have different goals and different abilities. We can choose to continue as losers or rise above and push through it. I want all of my skinny fat brothers to make it.
Pear anon been hittin the sauce!!
Now put on a shirt kek dyel ass Nigga
Never
wow man this is seriousely impressive. Any story how did your life change after u transformed? Would be a nice motivation, some people would give up on life after having left pic body.
From skinnyfat nerd to stealth beachmogger. Get a tan and you'll be good to go for the summer
Took another picture today
I'm happy with the progress I've made
I desire more
>it's another gutsanon post
>he's the same height as me
>he was the same weight as I am now, with no muscle
I hate fanboys but you are my biggest inspiration. I wanna get big like you, brah. Here's to losing this fat so I can revel in a bulk.
How do I get as beautifully tan as you? I've cut out seed oils which I'm told makes people burn rather than tan. Any routine or just going outside shirtless?
Working out produces actual hopium chemical, do some push ups my man.
It's not a lot, but it's not nothing either
That's only the start brah
in a sence ive made tremendous progress, in a much more real sense, im still not strong and still unhappy with my appearance.
My best friend killed himself a few weeks ago. And I'm struggling with just doing the basics.
Sorry for your loss, living your life and cherishing the memories you shared is the best thing you can do
12 years between pics (not to be confused with 12 years of lifting)
Looking big brother, don't let the next 12 years be inconsistent
Thank you friend
Always looking good gutsanon
You look amazing
Keep it up, champ
I'm only a year in but have fuck all definition
I've been making a Guts-Anon pack for a little bit. I want you all to send the pics you have of him. In the future, there will be packs about other influential Anons from SwoleShack. But I'll be starting with our favorite IRL Struggler
TIME TO DUMP MY GUTSANON FOLDER
and the original that started it all, gutsanon you give me hope my niggah
fuarkkk he does look like guts
Thank you, bro! Soon there will be a Guts-Anon Pack here!
what other anons are you planning to include?
What's wrong with pullups?
Idk there's not much bad that can be said for pull-ups imo I'm confused as well my back exploded after getting good at pull-ups. Maybe he meant he's not doing pull-ups but we should.
He meant you should be doing them (unlike him)
>mfw I started as a skinny fat piece of shit
>now get called a 7/10 and and my cock grew by like 2 inches when the fat covering it was lost
This is something I will give to all of you skinnyfat fags/robots who are starting out lifting. DONT JUST FUCKING LIFT. Clothes, smell, confidence, etc will take you places and if you want, get you sex. Being fit is a part of getting your shit together but don't end up like a gymcel worrying that his calves aren't big enough and destroying your body with roids for fags on the internet.
Great job OP btw.
here is the before, 3 months ago, around 90 kg
me now i post body too sec
The Hoodie photo doesn't do us much good for a before but still you're doing good man.
That albinauric head makes me want to commit atrocities towards its race
Easy there buddy
Damn I didn't know people like these silly edits enough save them
They bore me to death but I really should add them to my routine. I warned anons not to skip them like me
Thanks, I totally misunderstood. I enjoy doing pullups.
Really impressive transformations in this thread
Pic from Oct last year - now. Lifting for strength since around mid april. Not a whole lot of gains but its something, and im trying to do everything right. Lift heavy, eat right, sleep right. My sleep sucks but ive been diligent about improving it. I have chronic issues so its a little out of my hands
dude, you're not losing enough fat, doesn't look like you're eating right to me
i mean should i really be trying to lose weight? i feel like i should be eating at maintenance.. im around 150 @ 5'8
when i said eating right i meant eating enough protein. what do you look like? just so i know im not getting trolled by some random dyel
honestly dude you're very skinnyfat and should probably get your t levels checked
best thing you can do is cut down to skelly mode, you look like shit and will continue looking like shit for years if you don't make an effort to scrape the fat away
I got it checked last year and my doc said it was normal but he didnt mention a specific number. I feel like im getting stronger even if my transformation isn't crazy. Its only been a few months. If i still feel dyel by winter then yeah maybe theres something wrong
Its been improving but i have gut issues which affect my sleep
>i have gut issues which affect my sleep
That's what I imagined, if you are willing to elaborate then maybe I can help
Sure. I get very gassy which presses down on my bladder. Ive been chugging apple cider vinegar and have been trying to limit my dairy intake and its helped. Open to any suggestions you might have. Also have been making kefir and kombucha but its not a daily thing yet
Damn, I have had no experiences with gas problems so I can't really help, I can only share that in my experience dairy keeps me full and satiated so our digestive system probably works differently. Kefir is the shit tho, definitely make it a thing before bed. I drink some with cheese and some raw garlic and I sleep like a baby
>I have chronic issues so its a little out of my hands
What kind of issues man?
Looking pretty good much better than the before. Don't know why everyone is being so harsh. That said, this sort of transformation is to be expected when you do strength training instead of bodybuilding
He made obvious improvements, people here are ridiculous meanies.
Question as this feels optimal to ask...
If I bodybuilt to say.. 25? (5 years)
Suppose I switched and did strength from 25-30
Would I lose all or any of my bodybuilding gains?
Periodisation like you described is a great way to train but it's usually done over periods of weeks and months not years. I don't know of anyone doing what you described.
I've always been interested in this idea. But I do know about weekly/monthly Periodisation . I probably will just have to end up doing that instead. Only issue I have would be bulking for say strength then having to cut before starting a hypertrophy split. Wouldn't it work like that?
Thanks I appreciate it
Gutsanon is the hero of SwoleShack
I wouldn't go that far lads but I'm happy to see that hope can still be ignited
>Remember, if I can do it so can you
That's the spirit
How much cardio do you guys get? I've been avoiding it like an idiot
fuck copium you guys are giving us hope, bonus for doing so while we’re at the very lowest point in /fit thread quality history
Best thread in months.
Thank you lads. I finally lost enough weight to do a couple strict form pull ups when I couldn't even hang on the bar properly. Remember, if I can do it so can you
jan-june last year , its so hard to put on healthy weight but i run a majority of the time. Use to do like 1 hour at 8 mile speed 3-4 times a week. tbh weightlifting is so tiresome, I heard more reps and less weight is the way to go. just need to get back into it though
this was jan 21 and june 21? what was your routine?
first 3 months i literally just did pic related, noob stuff with like 30-40 miles of running/ then started with meme videos for the summer. a mixture of these 2 videos all while improving my running. j https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0p-IgSwrGk
