What was/is your time frame between where you were and where you wanted to be?
For me I've given myself a three year period to reach my goal. I've been at it for eight months and while I've lost a lot of weight and put on noticeable muscle, I still don't look anything near how I want to without a shirt on.
What's your timescale? What's your goal?
Well I haven't given myself a definitive time scale because I'm not looking to work out my entire body. My goal is to have a flat stomach and a butt/thighs that would make any other girl jealous.
Top left is where I was about 5 years ago before any exercise.
Top right is where I was about a year ago when I first started working towards my goal.
Bottom left was taken a few days ago.
Bottom right is the general shape (but bigger size) that I hope to be in a few months.
So I guess I would say that I'd like to have my change in under 2 years?

>Is on 22% of his journey
>wonders why it doesn't look like 100%
I really don't know OP
>>35667396
Get a tan now and bottom left will essentially be bottom right. Unless there's something fucked up about the angle of the photo. They look pretty similar.
>>35667428
u blind nigga? left butt is drooping downwards, right butt is perky and firm
>>35667428
Well, I feel like my butt is a bit bottom heavy and I'd like for it to be the same size all around. Also I have those annoying dimples/depressions in the sides of my butt which I can't figure out how to get rid of effectively.
>>35667325
I gave myself 1 year to have abs and be lean and another year to lean bulk to be muscular like pic related. Currently 8 months doing exercise but only 6 months of a strict compound routine.
Right now I'm 18.5%bf down from 30% when I started. Planning on going to 12 in these 3 months. Feelsgoodman.jpg

You might need to work with what you got. You want the right amount of fat and muscle. Keep working at the gym but try not to work off the fat.
The girl on the right also has lighting, tight yoga pants and is probably standing funny for the photograph. Stop wearing baggy jeans, get a tan and use the more pearish appearance to your advantage. Perky boobs and perky butt are alright, but big things naturally sag.

Knowing when to cut is the tricky thing if you're coming from DYEL. You don't want to cut if you're not at 2pl8 and have put on a reasonable amount of muscle.
>>35667325
This took me a year.
My diet is shit. I eat whatever I want. I just lift and cardio a bunch.
Im moving out to my own place this week. My diet will drastically change. I will be eating nothing but rotisserie chicken and broccoli for the forseeable future.
this is my goal and i think im pretty far but i cant make it any time soon since i cant shred at the moment.
>>35667906

>>35667396
Hi
>>35672297
How rigorous are your guys routines? Do you find it hard to do what you do or does it come easy to you? First two weeks were very bad because I couldn't find the motivation, after that I learned to love it.
>>35667804
Mirin'
Height and weight?
That's pretty much my goal.
>Was 110kg 6'2
>Current 88kg
>Losing until around 75kg
Should be mid April
>>35672464
I do plenty fine with lifting 3 days per week. 4-5 lifts per workout. all heavy though. low volume, high intensity.
the rigor was in the diet for me.
>>35667616
Not him, but what does this shit mean?
>DYEL
>2pl8
Please help me
>>35672588
>DYEL
Do You Even Lift? when you dont look developed enough muscularly, someone wouldn't guess you lifted.
>>35672647
oh and 2pl8 is 2 plate. as in 2 45lb plates on each side of the bar. aka 225lbs. if you dont bench 225lbs then you probably shouldnt be cutting.

Thanks brehs

>right pic weighed 198
No idea where my bodyfat is, but if I'm not flexing I still have a little bit of a gut. I did BB.com's Big Man On Campus to start, then switched to Kris Gethin's 12 week program - now I'm back to BMOC. My diet has been pretty shit to be honest. Chipotle burritos and taqueria tacos. I just exercised more portion control and drank a little more than a gallon of water a day.
Goal body is Tom Hardy Warrior (like every other fucking anon out there) but with a smaller waist. I don't need that much core. I want that V taper to look good in fitted clothing.
My biggest motivations are the desire to push myself further than I ever have. Also my girlfriend is waaaaay prettier than I am and she lifts too. So I have to be at my best going into this relationship - especially if I don't want to get cucked in the summer months.
>>35667325
4 looks the best imo
I'm not sure how long it will take because I going think I'll ever be satisfied. Been at it for a year and a half now and I'm liking what I see more and more. I'd say this time next year I'll be a sick cunt but why not have more?
>>35667457
Right butt is held by fabric.
>>35672450
Hi anon. <3
>>35667593
Yeah, I'm trying to keep a balance because I've /heard/ that the booty dimples are caused by a lack of fat, and as of right now my butt is mainly muscle.
>>35672297
That's a lot of progress, anon! Congrats!
>>35672297
That bf% drop is fucking crazy, keep up the good work
>>35673014
Y-you too
>>35673014
b-butt
>>35673404
It is indeed a butt.
>>35671618
kek
>>35667396
i want to fuck that ass soooo baaaaaaaad. just got finished doing legs so ill hit it from push up position. deal? deal.
>>35673872
I've never done butt stuff tho.
>>35667804
Also really like your progress! The beard is also a good addition.
>>35672297
routine/diet?
>>35673945
Thanks anonnette, I've got a lot of cutting left to do before summer. And yeah I used the beard to mask all the weight gain I had in my face and I just got so many compliments on it that I decided to let it stay. I've got next to nothing for facial aesthetics anyways so the beard hides everything that aren't my green eyes.
You look like you've come a long way as well. What's your routine like? Did you change up your diet? My gf is a tiny qt3.14 latina who has an ass kind of like your own - she also wants more bubble to her butt. Any advice I might pass along?
This took me ~3 years. Technically the before pic was years before I actually started lifting but I looked the exact same. Just the best pic I had to showcase how far gone into auschwitz I had gone.
I know this isn't the thread for it , but does anyone know a beginner routine that's 4+ days a week?
>>35667396
Please be a trap
>>35675799
Aaaand Clark Kent is my current goal. I'm natty so I'll likely never get to his level of mass and bf% but I'd like to think that in maybe 2 years from now I could get close enough.
>>35667396
your current butt is where i want to be at, i'm currently in-between your top right and bottom left pictures after lifting for a couple of months.
what was your routine?
>>35675463
I personally haven't changed my diet much, which I probably should do to slim down my stomach.
>>35675838
For both of you guys I will say that I do a lot of weighted fire hydrants and donkey kicks, and I tend to feel them more so than squats!
>>35675886
Beardbro here
I've read that squats are a meme for datass gains so that would make a lot of sense.
>>35675813
Mirin' brah. Great definition for your size. Weight? Height?
What's your diet like?
>>35675813
>GOAT face and hair genetics
Lucky bastard.
'Mirin the work you put in though; that's not luck at all. Good work, anon.
>>35676159
The right pic is my goal, not me, but I appreciate the comparison.
>>35676127
Thanks. 6' at 175 lbs. Diet wise I honestly just focus on hitting calories and protein goal. I don't drink soda or eat complete garbage, but I don't fret over carb/fat/protein ratio either.
>>35675813
The guy on the right is cycling tho, just letting you know.
>>35676199
Yeah, I know. That's why in my first post I said I'd be happy to get relatively close in a couple years or so.
>>35667325
I want to beat my father's record in the bench. I'm currently at 70 kg's and I need to add 90 more... Might be able to beat it in five years or so.
>>35676242
Whoops sry I misread your post. Good luck bro, you're gonna make it!
>>35676337
Thanks senpai.
>>35675463
get a room already
you should be aiming to be liked for the traits of your character
>>35667906
Jonny Skywalker is not natty, bro
>>35676184
Right on man
I'll be moved out on my own by the end of the week and my diet of rotisserie chicken and frozen broccoli will hopefully have me shredding down real quick.
Best of luck to you in reaching your goal my dude. Goal pic does look a bit smaller than yourself so it looks doable for certain.
>>35675799
Fuck man good job
>>35667396
So, you're like a skanky curlbro?
