No progress thread, so I will start.
1. Pick is 01.01.16 (64 kg),
2. one is 3 weeks ago (70 kg)
my height is 1,81m
Any tipps, since im pretty new to fittness?
>>36597991
Bump. I dont really care about what I eat, I eat alot of pizza& premade things, but also alot of fruits and vegetables. Since I only need to gain mass I dont count calories, and use a weightgainer after every training
>>36597991
good job, work on your core more
>>36598087
So you mean like push ups?
bumping with a twist
Been on a cut for 3 months now. first month and a half, i shed weight quickly and my abs started to appear.
6'3", 200lbs, Eating 2100cal/day
~160-200g protein
~150gcarb
~100gfat
Past two weeks, i've felt extremely bloated. I've gained a layer of "squish" on my gut and no idea why.
Increased duration of workouts and intensity, no change
Decreased carbs increased protein, no change
what's up?
>>36598099
fuck you
>>36598099
google core work.
are you lifting or just doing pushups and situps
>>36598022
You need to count calories to gain mass you fucking retard. How the fuck do you know if you're meeting your macros everyday?
Just use myfitnesspal and stop being fucking lazy.
>>36597991
6kgs in 3 weeks is a lot, you might want to slow down in order not to put on too much fat
Keep at it, we're all gonna make it
>>36598109
You'll get used to it. You'll be fine.
>>36598149
Am i having trouble digesting or is just something that happens
>>36598136
I do sit ups, I did push ups for 1 month before I started training, to build up some basic muscles, came to 40 clean push ups
>>36598156
May be gas. Is your stomach sensitive to the tough around or below your belly button?
>>36598148
3 moths not 3 weeks dude, from beginning of this year to 2-3 weeks ago
>>36598137
but I dont know how to count them on normal food. Do I have to mess the weight of every portion of food I eat?
>>36598166
That's literally all you do? Is situps?
Dude what the fuck.
>>36598178
Nope it's not.
I tried taking "beano" pills to help with digestion/gas.. nothing has changed.
>>36598192
sigh, sorry maybe its my english.
I did push ups for 1 month before I started training. Now I Lift, butterfly, benchpress etc. and sit ups.
>>36598178
>>36598156
It's probably just gas. Your body needs to adjust to your new high cal diet. Drinking a lot of water actually really helps move things around as well so make sure you're drinking plenty of fluids.
I had the same problem.
Although if you're drinking a lot of milk that could be it too.
A bit more than 1.5 years since my first step in a gym
I had a pretty serious car crash 3 years ago, got a broken hip and damaged sciatic nerve among other things (you can see the scars).
Never had any sport background and sedentary lifestyle.
I'm almost 30 and I feel a lot better, I wish I started 10 years ago.
Lifts are shit but I'm having a good time, I'm also ok with not having the fastest results, I enjoy the process.
190cm 88kg
I don't have the same lens I need to replicate the first pic, I'll have it back next week and update the progress pic the correct way
>>36597991
I also have been drinking alkohol nearly every weekend for the last 5 years (since I was 15), And from this January I decidet to stop with it and start with fittness. I feel so much better. I still do chemical drugs one time per 2-3 months on rave's (I know thats pretty bad for gains, but whatever).
>>36598212
Eh, I drink a decent amount of milk. It's that nice nofat high protein shit. I have about 2 cups a day. I'll be more cautious.
Thanks breh
>>36598228
1,90m,now imagine how you will look when you are shreddered! Fucking monster
>>36598228
bruv you look 200% better good work, keep at it
I made two months of solid cutting progress then spring break rolled around, I had my birthday, and I fell off the wagon hard
Two weeks of partying, drinking and eating shitty food and cost me 4 weeks of progress
>>36598228
Inspiring brah. It's all about enjoying the process.
2 1/2 months progress. Went from 154lbs -> 160lbs
Didn't gain any fat, eating a surplus of 300 calories.
Cut from 245 lbs to 169 lbs. Pic is straightening my posture and trying to not suck in my gut
Doing cardio due to hurt shoulder for the past few months
How much more should I cut till I lift for muscle. My shoulders are scrawny as fuck
Question here, I lift heavier than some fag but they look so fucking big. How do I attain this aesthetic, any routine I could do?
My stats are
>2 pl8 dl
>1.5 pl8 bench
>1.5 pl8 squat
>0.5 pl8 OHP
>>36598417
>Cut from 245 lbs to 169 lbs.
Impressive
>How much more should I cut till I lift for muscle.
You don't have the genetics son.
>>36598470
How long have you been lifting? Lifting for aesthetics means aiming for 12-14 reps per set.
>>36598486
What should I do then
>>36598502
don't listen to that faggot. You look skinnyfat right now IMO. Start bulkan.
>tfw born in the bulk, molded by it
>fat fuck whole life
>used to be almost 400lbs
>now 5'10, 205lbs
>was 203 this morning
>just want to get to sub 200 already, for the first time in my adult life, first time since elementary school
>tfw it's the weekend and my weak-willed ass cheated and ate easter candy that my gainz goblin grandma gave me
>tfw probably going to be another week or two before I hit 199
J U S T
>>36598470
That ain't impressive, when you get to 4 pl8 deadlift, 2 pl8 bench, 3 pl8 squat and 1 pl8 ohp you'll be big as fuck.
>>36598502
Keep working out, clean bulk. Don't eat more than a 300 cal surplus.
>>36598560
No, he doesn't have the shred genetics, he should just aim for mass not defenition
Don't have before pic but I got a question.
I started as aushwitz mode hungry skelly and bulked up for the past 7 months to this. Gained way more fat than I would have liked but I also gained muscle, given the fact all my lifts increased by a lot.
Would cutting right now just make me look skelly again? The gut and moobs make me feel like shit, and the gut makes all my pants feel way too tight and uncomfortable.
I'm thinking of cutting for a month and a half or so, just to get some of this fucking fat off me. Good idea?
>>36597991
>diagonal skelly pose
From the front you look small as fuck.
>>36599077
Tbh lad I would. You got the chub. Good to hear you made substantial progress though.
>>36599204
Thanks lad, guess I'll begin my cut today.
Also I did end up finding a before shot, even if it's just a screen of a video. But just to show the level of skelly I was before
>>36599006
So just work my core and upper body and go for strength?
>>36599384
I'm basically at this level right now but with slightly bigger biceps. Been lifting for about 3 weeks now so I'm awaiting results later on, but I have to ask, in regards to wrist size, did they get any thicker as you put on weight? That's what I'm worried about right now since I have fairly small wrists. Also, how long did it take before you started noticing results? Just out of curiosity.
>>36599676
Sad to say but my wrists are still bitch size. Pretty much same as before. Forearms grew a little bit, but not too much. Such is genetics. I don't really do wrist/forearm isolating exercises so take that into account.
I started noticing results probably 2 months in or so. I ate like a bitch though and didn't really starting EATING until about 3 months in. Then results came quicker. But that's given the fact I gained too much fat, though. Doesn't go to say I gained more fat than muscle; just gained more than desirable fat.
Just keep going and keep eating. You'll make it. To be honest lad, I still look rather skinny when wearing certain clothes. But that's life when you start as skelly mode.
You'll make it brah
>>36598502
i would start lifting now if i were you
>>36599676
Here's a pic that shows my wrists.
As you can see, they are still skinny
No pics. Went from 230 in mid-January to around 200 now (i'm 6'1)
>>36599734
>>36599759
Ah, fuck. I figured if weight was gained it would also be somehow distributed around the wrists. Still, you look way better, man, definitely inspiring to a fellow skelly. Thanks for the answers!
>>36599779
No prob! And thanks brah it means a lot
It's a journey but it's worth it. I believe in you anon.
Be sure to take legit before pics even if you don't like the way you look, so that way you can look at them in due months time and see how far youve progressed.
HIIT brahs. No meme.
>>36599658
Follow SS and gain mass. Read it through though. It's a good routine but noobs don't read it and go trex mode
150 > 184
change boxers might help
about 6-7 months progress.
>>36603187
chest progress
6-7 monthsish as well.
Does anybody else look like complete shit when not pumped?
>>36598470
I'm >>36598228 and I have slightly higher numbers
140x5 DL
105x5 SQ
82.5x5 B
45x5 OHP
I think it's time that matters over numbers. We'll all get there, consistency is key
Left is me after I was getting over pneumonia in October/Novemberish. Think I lost lik 8 lbs in 2 weeks or something.
Right is now, not a whole lot better but a bit I guess. I did a couple of incomplete halfassed phases of "bulking" and "cutting", before realizing that I just need to fucking cut first to get it out of the way. Should be good for a long bulk by the time summer rolls around I think.
5'7 137, goal is 155
