Started monday with Ice cream fitness 5x5
Did the second workout today
80.7kg/177.9lbs
179cm/5'10.5
Bodyfat according to inbody scan at gym 21%
Bodyfat according to my own measurements (91cm belly and 39 neck) 19%
Since my bodyfat is high and i have a muffin top (fat lower belly and love handles) and absolutely no muscle whatsoever i decided to still keep cutting.
I eat 1200-1500kcals a day
My main goal is to just look not-out-of-shape now.
>would like to hear some opinions about my approach
>especially about the lifting and cutting part
>pic related its me
that aint 21% bf lol
Come back in 3-4 weeks. Until you can keep a consistent cut and you're serious about it. Day 2 is nothing. Day 30, people can maybe start to believe you're serious.
>>36337834
Higher or lower?
>>36337870
Lel.
>>36337825
Plan looks ok. Why are you standing so effeminately though?
why is it always the worst looking people that feel the need to start their own thread instead of posting it in the cbt?
>>36337870
higher bro
>>36337825
Yeah dude you've got an Adonis belt already
>>36337917
If i tape measure it tells me i'm 19%
If i do it with fat calipers it tells me i'm 21%
Inbody scan tells me 21%
>>36337853
I already dropped 8kgs last 4 weeks. Usually i used to plateau at 82kg, it's the first time i'm below that.Hope to go below 80kg soon enough.
>>36337913
Because he's asking about his routine not showing off his hot bod like you homosexuals in CBT.
>>36337955
>not showing off his hot bod
Oh, my mistake. I thought OP's picture was OP.
The weird thing is, you can see my ribs
I can also put thumb and index finger around my wrist.
Waist/pants size is 32/33
The fat is at my underbelly and lovehandles, nowhere else. Plus i have noodle arms
I chose ICF because my primary goal is to look better and persee be Trex looking that can squat 250kg
>>36337982
Hey look a potentially misleading pic and not enough information! Neat!
>>36337825
Superman is doing good m8
>>36337982
>I can also put thumb and index finger around my wrist.
Is that supposed to mean something? I could do that when I was 330lb.
>>36338039
What kind of info do you want?
Stop making threads every fucking day.
Seriously if you spent as much effort into lifting weights and eating right as you do making these pointless threads you might actually look good. Litterally all you have to do is eat around your TDEE, get enough protein and stick to a fucking routine and you will be good but i mean your to anxious to do shit so you will never make it.
>>36339769
I'm already doing shit lel
I just want some feedback about it, i want to put 100% in right now
>>36337948
I had a look like that until I lost weight and realised it was just the way the fat sits
>>36337825
Your going to platue really fast with that volume
>>36337825
what the fuck nigger what about your cardio
>>36340796
I'm already on a call defict, i think calorie defict + cardio and lifting will be too much
>>36340835
a calorie deficit is not advise for beginners, you're supposed to stick to your TDEE and simply cardio + lift for healthiest weight loss
>>36337825
fit likes to obsses about routines all the time but that shit hardly matters when you have 0 muscle mass. what are you eating. because if you are serious about this shit you need to cut out ALL simple carbs, and i mean all. focus on protein fat complex carbs in that order. no candy bullshit.
>>36340873
simple carbs are found in milk and fruit are you sure about that bro
>>36340913
unless you are bulking there is literally no reason to be eating simple carbs, they only exist to put on fat. get your macros somewhere else
>>36340940
not op but
as long as you're meeting your macro requirements nothing else really fucking matters in your diet besides your daily needed calories right
>>36337982
Yeah you have a ???? ribcage (cant remember what its called
>>36340952
Try to cut eating sugar bro,not onlysugar,but getting a lot of you carbs feom sugars ,and you will see what happens
>>36341018
I don't eat sugars. I only started trying to get in shape 4 weeks ago and it started with 1600 calorie limit and lifts. So far I always focus on eating fruits/veggies/proteins first, then once I've reached or come close to reach my req for protein I started eating more carb heavy foods (pasta, bread, etc.) I think I'm doing well. My food tracker tells me I'm doing well too
OP
I mostly eat
Chicken breast and spinach or low calorie rice/spaghetti with onions and bell peppers
Morning i drink a meal replacement shake (304 calories)
Afternoon i eat a protein bar + protein shake, togheter 250kcal and like 40 gr of protein
Its what ive been eating the last 4/5 weeks
>>36341061
too much processed shit, expensive.
get some oats, eggs, sweet potatoes. avocadoes. whatever. just dont fuck with buying a ton of supplements.
>>36337825
Hey OP. I started off at a much better place than you, but I did ICF 5x5 while eating 2k cals a day for 3-4 months. Here's my starting pic.
>>36341208
And here's the end of it.
My lifts by the end of it were for 1RM:
OHP: 125
Bench: 185
Squat: idk, I was a faggot and didn't hit depth back then, probably around 240ish
Deadlift: 320
>>36337982
what is your routine my good sir
>>36341254
ICF 5x5
>>36341208
Nice man, what were your starting lifts?
I have noodles arms
Squat: 50
OHP: 20 lel
Bench: 40
Deadlift: 40
With some of the exercises i'm too afraid to try harder because i dont want to injure myself and i have no spotter
>>36341230
Wow dude you looking juicy
>>36341281
I started with somewhat decent lifts since I was a swimmer back in high school. I think they were around:
OHP: 105
Bench: 165
Squat: 185ish maybe?
Deadlift: 240
Are your lifts in lbs or kg? Either way you have a long way to go, but don't give up. To be honest if I were you though, I wouldn't drop my calories so low. Just eat at a somewhat moderate deficit so you can build some strength too. You won't look good unless you have some muscle under all that fat. Also don't be afraid to ask a random person to spot you at the gym. You do really need to push yourself and a spotter on bench press will help a ton.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
>>36341301
Thanks, but I was a super skelly back then at 5'11 153 lbs, I just cut to a really low bf. Now I'm sitting at 5'11 172 lbs ~12% bf and am much stronger.
