Here's mine with almost 10kg gained.
175 > 195lbs
WHY do I look the same?
>>34918763
How tall are you because I weigh 88kg and have been training for 19 months and get daily mires, are you sure you're weigh ins have consistency eg time and having a shit etc?
>>34918812
im 190cm / 6'1
>>34918850
190 is 6'3
>>34918763
that really doesnt look like a 20lb increase
weird
>>34918763
You don't look the same your legs and core definetly got mass and your arms a bit too. Keep doing what you are doing. It's a grimd but its worth it in the end.
>>34918763
What's the black dot?
>>34918862
no its not, 6'3 is 195cm
>>34918763
Make sure you're weighing yourself as soon as you wake up after a shit and piss because you can easily weigh in 4kg over your actual weight if you don't and I'm 6ft
>>34918879
http://www.feettometres.com/
>>34918883
>>34918812
And yeah, all of these weights are in the morning after shit/piss. Before bed I weigh around 90kg.
>>34918871
Something on the mirror not sure.
>>34918868
Thanks for the motivation man.
>>34918893
6'3 is 195cm
>>34918897
Are you retarded? 6'3 is 190 cm.
>>34918763
There's quite a bit of difference between first and last, considering how tall u are. Keep it up and make sure to improve your lifts.
Also if you've gained that weight in less than 3 or so months there's probably a great deal of water retention (like 2-4 kilos)
>>34918902
no it's not its 195cm idiot
>>34918909
I really hope this is bait.
>>34918903
>gaining 10kg in 3 months
he would be a fat fuck if that was the case
>>34918913
190cm is 6'2"
>>34918926
Also bait, 6'2 is 188 cm.
>>34918903
>>34918926
For everyone who might be confused by this retard.
6'3"
12 inches in foot
6'3"=75"
1" = 2.54 cm
75*2.54 = 190.5cm
6'3" is almost exactly 190cm
>>34918945
>>34918913
6'3 = 195cm
>>34918763
404 progress not found
Is your scale maybe broken?
>>34918954
Nope, scale has been steadily increasing.
>>34918945
>>34918926
oh shit i just realized the mistake i've been making. that was dumb
>>34918964
Lad, you're 6'3. 88kg is dyel-tier for you, I'm 5'11 and 85kg. You need to be at least 95 - 100kg to look like you lift.
>>34918763
OP what did you compete in
>>34918945
This. When you convert 190cm using Google converter for example, it gives you 6.2336 but the decimal is not in inches, 0.2336 feet != 2 inches, it'seems actually 2.8032 inches, so 190cm=6feet, 2.8 inches or almost 6'3
>>34918982
Fuck off, 190cm is 6'0. 195cm is 6'5.
>people try to make sense of american units
Don't even try it idiots, it's all made up bullshit
>>34918970
Hmm it feels like I'd be fat at 95kg, but I'll try to get there before summer.
>>34918974
wot?
I haven't competed in anything in my life.
>>34918990
my bad, looked like medals hanging on the wall
>>34918850
No you're not. Give us a ruler measurement photo. Too many manlets lie about their height.
>>34918990
>190cm
>88kg
Do you store all your fat in your back? You don't look that heavy
>>34919000
hahaha fuck off faggot
>>34919017
Busted. And you've already entered damage control mode.
>>34919016
You just don't lift, you won't understand.
Muscle is much denser than fat. If it takes 5 kg of fat to notice a difference, than it will take roughly almost 4 times that amount of muscle to notice a difference. Look at bodybuilders in real-life, they look incredibly small - they are. Not on the stage, but like real-life bodybuilders with 9% bodyfat, they are around 88-91 kg.
Conclusion : big buys are just fucking fat. muscle doesn't make you look big.
>>34918763
>WHY do I look the same?
What do you mean? You look even more underage on the right picture.
>>34918988
>it's all made up bullshit
Yeah, because metric is not made up, right?
Heres my current progression. anyone estimate bf%'s in the pics for me pls? Thinking maybe another 20-25 pounds to lose?
>>34918763
Have your lifts gone up?

cheers man, first pic 225lbs, curent about 190lbs. First pic was 18 months ago. height is 5'7
sorry shitty picture but here is my progress so far
6 months of healthy eating and cardio then i started bulking since 2 month!
I feel so much better now !
Dele all fast food and bad things for you (i'm still drinking alcohol and a big cheat meal once a week so it's a bit longer for me)
->Run 2X a weeks, HIIT or 1H
->Go the gym temple 3times a week and push hard
-> Read motivations threads
-> Eat 0% Yoghourt with oats+ banana+eggs +tea/Cofee in the morning
-> Rice/pasta/potatoes + Chicken breast+ Fruit for lunch
-> Fruit+ green tea or yoghourt at 4PM
-> banana after workout
-> Fish or Steak or Eggs+ vegetables /Fruits for diner
Amonds all along the day
Keep it up bros, i will continue to be better and post progress in 6 months
>>34918763
>>34920351
Can't tell which it before and which is after with these 2.
>>34918897
>>34918902
Remember that a foot has 12 inches in it. 195 cm = 6.3 feet. However, this translates to 6'4" (almost 6'5") when you convert properly. 190cm is a smidgeon under 6'3".
192cm
Not the best progress but im happy.
>>34920367
It's because of the pictures I guarantee than before I was a big pig sweating, always sick and with a 38 jeans size now i fit into a size 31, very dynamic, no more sweating, no more gyno and i can see my abs for the first time of my life :)
>>34920404
>tfw after loosing weight I still sweat all the time
>hate going out to clubs because my back sweats through any nice shirt I try and wear :(
>>34920454
do you have a good nutrition? Drink a lot of water before going to club and pee, put black shirts
Do you have a lot of hairs in your back? If yes, remove them
May the force be with you anon!
>>34920514
nutrition is hit and miss,
>>34920131 is me
you think removing the back hair will stop my back from sweating? It gets bad, if its too hot my back just sweats from sitting doing nothing.
>>34920403
holy shit 2 years for this?!?! was the natty limit maymay true?????
>>34918763
>EVERY DAY IS LEG DAY
>>34918763
You need to eat like 3x as much as you have been
>>34920566
shit aint easy if you are 192cm
>>34920403
and this is why you don't do brosplits before doing SS.
>>34920531
Keep doing your diet and if in 6 months before the summer you're still sweating shave it!
>>34918763
Something definitely happened to your left trap wtf?
>>34920782

>>34918763
OP:
How have your lifts improved?
How is your sex drive?
>>34921662
>>34920164
Total SBD has gone from around 297.5kg to 350kg.
Sex drive is good, I beat it daily.
>>34921750
Jacking off daily isn't indicative of a normal hormonal environment. Do you get morning boners and aroused easily?
What routine are you using? Your total has gone up a lot, relative to your starting point which is good.
If I were you, I'd maintain your bodyweight whilst getting stronger, and you'll recomp fairly easily. Once you get to ~15% bodyfat, you can bulk slowly like 1-1.5 pounds a month for the next several months, and, after that, you can lean out.
>>34921750
great deadlift progress, brother! What about squat and bench?
>>34921855
:DDDD
>>34921853
I had a morning boner today and get them a couple times a week. You think I'm about 15%? I feel pretty skinny.
I'm 6' 4" and I started at the first pic, added ten lean pounds and I'm shredded now steady mires. Op just got a little fat. If he added any muscle you would see it.
>>34920622
Bullshit.
He didnt eat.
>>34922157
what's your routine how old are you
~2 months progress, sorry for the potato quality
Spooky skellington to dyel skellington

THIS IS WHY AMERICA SHOULD OUTLAW IMPERIAL NUMBERS REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>34921952
You are indeed about 15%. Beginners tend to overestimate their muscle/fat ratio. This means you have even less muscle than you think. Remember muscle burns fat which means the more muscle you have the lower you can get your fat %. Skinny 70 kg bodybuilders at 6%? Never.
>>34920131
>sucking your stomach in
c'mon m8, at least be honest
Hit 2pl8 squat 1RM this week after 15 months of lifting
G-Gonna make it eventually
>>34923090
>Hit 2.5pl8 squat after 3 months of lifting
>can't even bench 1pl8
>>34923122
Well I can' bench my own BW so I guess I should be happy.
>>34920266
sick breh
>>34923129
Normies don't care about how much you squat anyways, only how much you bench, if that.
>tfw normies don't care how much you lift, only how much you look like you lfit
189 > 204lbs
6'3
Doing my rippetoes
>>34918970
it heavily depends on bf% m8. Pic related is 6'2" 88 kg but on the other extreme (OP being skinnyfat and the same weight/height, yet looking much much smaller).
The "you need to weigh x to look x" rule should only be said with a fixed bf%, in your case it's probably around 15%, because 95 kg at that height while lean would be built as fuck.
posted in another thread. might as well post here.
been cutting since I started SS (about 4 months into the program now)
5'6 155lbs 19y/o
1x5 DL 95kg
3x5 Squat 102.5kg
3x5 Bench 55kg
5x3 Power Cleans 50kg
Gonna start a bulk soon tho. Gains are just too damn slow, and I'm really not sure if progressing as well as I could be. Like, should I just cut down to low bf or bulk for dem muscles and cut again? A couple of anons told me to keep cutting but
>tfw afraid of losing muscle
>also afraid of getting fat
>yet want to get stronger
Pic related is 3 months progress. Haven't taken a pic of 4th month yet, but still roughly the same with a little less fat, maybe better lats/shoulders. But no visible abs yet.
Also, DL is shit because I was told I had snapcity form so i deloaded and am working up. Spinal erectors are weak too, according to symmetricstrength
>>34923393
Forgot pic
>>34923409
I think you should keep cutting and then maintain for a little bit
Pic related is almost 3 years of religious gym and diet, I can count the amount of gym days I've missed/ days I haven't hit dietary needs on one hand.
We're not all destined to make it, guys.
>>34923409
It might be annoying, but given your current bf% (probably around 18%) you wouldn't be able to bulk for very long before needing to do a much longer cut, and it won't be as effective as starting at a lower level. Your body becomes more estrogenic the more fat you have.
>>34923833
You would be aesthetic if you cut. Do you have wide hips or is that just where all the fat goes on you?
>>34923833
its a massive improvement breh. no matter how long it took. maybe you need some help with programming and dieting?
Weighed around 98kg in the spring of 2014. I had gotten into shitty eating habits for the last year, where as I before had been skinny before I lost my discipline around the fall of 2012.
I then started changing my diet and hit the bicycle and the treadmill at the end of 2014. I started lifting again in July and on my way to getting lean.
180cm, approx 70 kg at the moment.
>>34923833
Yeah, you don't look bad at all but 3 solid dedicated years I would think you would look better.
You have unfortunate hip structure which doesn't help either. Looks like you're around 18% bf, try a cut down to 14ish% and see what shakes out. I'm guessing you can't see your six pack at present, cut until you can see it clearly when flexed. You can make it bro.
>>34923855
Actually cutting right now after that based 3 year bulk. But yeah, lot of fat on my gut.
>>34923891
Thanks bro yeah possibly, I've been running George Leeman style programming for the majority of my training, started with a brosplit as many of us do though.
>>34923952
Yeah abs aren't even close to visible. Thanks for the words of encouragement, might post again after cut if it goes well.
2 yrs
loose tank b/c fat
>>34918812
Look closely man, his gains are all in his traps.
>>34923941
r u an elf?
>>34923270
am I getting too fat? pls respond
squat
maybe 1pl8x5 > 225x5
bench
125x5 > 160x5
dead
225x1 > 275x5
ohp
80x5 > 105x5
>>34923839
>>34923581
fair enough.
What do I do about my strength progress tho? I'm already slowing down as we speak cuz I'm not eating enough to make gains.
Should I just pack on the weight (or at least try to) every workout as I'm supposed to and push myself? I mean, I didn't think I'd make 2 plate squat on my cut, but I did.
Is it all just in my head?
>>34918850
>>34918862
>>34918879
>>34924747
I'd say just lift as heavy as you can with good form and you'll still make (albeit somewhat slower) progress since you're a beginner
then once you get to ~15%, maintain for a bit, and start to go into a caloric surplus. You'll be able to bulk but you won't get fat as fuck in the process of trying to get strong
>>34923270
A little. Looks like you hold your fat in your stomach and around the hips like I do. After I put on 25 lbs from SS, I looked like a goober (you look much better than I did).
I'm not sure what you can do about it though desu. You need to eat a lot to keep upping the weights. Maybe through in some HIIT cycling/sprints.
>>34924821
ok thanks
I think more cardio would be a good idea, I don't do much other than occasional pickup basketball
I'm enjoying finally gaining strength at a decent rate (originally started lifting cutting) but I don't want to go planet mode to squat 3 plates
>>34924778
The numbers after the point are in decimal system instead of dozenal
78kg, 70kg, 72kg.
The reason i look lighter in the third than the second is b/c my ass and thighs are out of this world and the extra weight is there
thanks mr rippetoe
>>34920266
9 month cut?

6.2336 ft x(12 inches/1ft) = 74.796 inches
74.796 inches = 6 feet and 2.796 inches ~ 6'3"
>>34925012
6.25 ft = 6'3''
>>34924960
that's 6'3 dumbfuck
I was just posting the real answer, since you idiots can't agree
>>34920351
Goodjob Chris Chan!
>>34920566
13kg of lean muscle in 2 years is pretty normal, unless you roid or you're a fat, delusional powerlifter who think 90% of the 30kg you put on is muscle.
/fit/ is so retarded, I swear.
just posted this in another thread today but I'm happy to finally make some visible progress.
this was July, 248 lbs
>>34925997
and this was last week, 220

Jesus Christ work on your Uppers for God sakes
>>34927475
thank you. I'm hoping to get down to 200-205 by the end of the year. Proper diet is definitely the hardest part.
>>34927956
i do. i've nearly doubled if not actually doubled the weight on all of my upper body exercises
>>34927840
>>34920403
Stings my heart to see the progress for 2 years and then see those BSN containers in the background..
>>34923833
Work on those legs like you've never worked before. It'll displace the look of your wider hips when your quads are wider

wow! kik?
>>34923941
you look like you just opened shoveldog.gif
wide eyes dont make you look aesthetic or cute and if you can see yourself trying, everyone else can. nice progress nonetheless
was 293, now around 280. feels better than doing nothing.
>>34923833
You been training strength for 3 years son ?
I've posted this many times here but fuck it. Thinking about reducing lifts to 3x a week and starting to do cardio another 3x a week, wanna go from 13%bf to 10
>>34923090
I've been lifting 3 months and did 225 5x5 highbar last night. Are you a skelly? Or did you start squatting late?
