What's everyone's progress looking like?
>>37530306
5'9" 165 pound manlet reporting in. Started off at skinnyfat 165, then cut down to 150, and did a slow bulk back up to 165.
>>37530352
OP here, dope rogress man.

5'9", that's from 125 auschwitzmode to 165.
>>37530388
progress* stats**
>>37530388
Thanks man. How long you been lifting? My progress shows a ~22 month timeframe.
>>37530408
that's about a 3 year difference, but with hella more intensity and actually knowing what I was doing the last year or so
2.5 months
thats a start i guess
>>37530444
trips gainz tho
bro you put on serious leg mass, damn son
>>37530444
Why aren't you wearing boxer shorts?
>>37530444
>>37530494

Here is mine, 1 year
>>37530444
>>37530529
Dude bulk a little slower or you'll end up with a gut.
>>37530755
Wew, curlbro
This summer is the first time I've ever been able to simply enjoy being lean and chill at maintenance for multiple months (I scheduled myself May through September not cutting or bulking). It's nice being lean with the weather and all, but...the itch to start growing again is getting to me. Kind of feels like I'm wasting time being idle, not getting closer to my end goal of 170 (at this same BF%) within the next 1.5 years. I could see me calling it a wrap on summer 4-6 weeks early, start lean bulking again.
>>37530755
>1 year
eat more
>>37530789
I grow up my chest, arm, shoulder, legs
>>37530836
>>37530755
Why should I eat more?
>>37530306
Started my fitness journey about 3 months ago.
5'9", went from ~173lbs to ~153lbs by eating 2000 calories a day with lots of protein, and lifting 3 days a week on my shitty universal gym machine. I recently switched my caloric intake to be around maintenance level since I feel I've reached my fat reduction goal. Time to get an actual gym membership and focus more on muscle mass.
Feels good man, thanks for the motivation /fit/!
>>37530352
Very nice progress
>>37530529

>>37533527
Thanks, I started with SL 5x5 then moved to SL 3x5 but I didn't use the deloading rules, this took about 4 months. After that I ran Canditio's LP for three months then moved to Candito 6 week.
>>37533602
Neat. Lifts? I look like you at 170lb but i've been lifting since September.

Squat 240x5 ATG
Bench 185x5
OHP 112.5x5
Deadlift 295x5
I'm 5'8" and 136 pounds.
>>37533898
>>37533914
Dress meme, Good times
>tfw you will always be remembered as the smallest faggot wearing a dress
It's all good
>>37533919
sorry I meant bench 185x3
Gone from 5'10 133lb 18yo running about 35 miles a week to 5'10.5 ish to 19, 154lb , was 9%bf in my running days but now about 15%. Atm I'm trying to just drop a few pounds of fat before slow bulking up to around 165/170 from 150 . Hopefully do that over 7-9months with one or two 14 day mini cuts again in between that time
>>37533919
The main difference I can see is the abs and no visible rib cage, which is weird since you're already light for your height so I hesitate to suggest that you cut, I don't know what to say. You should ask others for advice, I've been doing this for less than a year. I don't do anything special, I drink a protein shake a day and follow basic routines and I don't do cardio.
>>37530352
Good job bruh
Like this for almost 3 years. Dropped from 115 kg to 80 kg 6 years ago and can't change my body anymore. Depressing as fuck.
>>37534115
Let me guess, you're a curlbro? You look like you haven't done a single thing for your chest or core ever in your life.
6'1"
300lbs ->185lbs
started 15 months ago, been maintaining 185 for the past 3 months
>>37534182
Good fucking job
>>37530352
this faggot again
>>37534154
Nah bro, my arms are the weakest part of my body and I don't like training them at all. Looks like that on the pic dunno why.
Guys I have a double chin even though I'm skinny as fuck what the fuck should I do to lose it ?
>>37534182
fuarking motivational because im 1 month in and i look about the same as you in the starting pic
>>37533898
eyyy thanks dude yeah that was a while ago, right now i'm staying lean for EDC but then gonna try to get up to 175 or so.
Nice progress though dude and you're staying lean so chicks will love it
chest during bulk
154- to 170+ down to 166
>>37530352
Fuck men look so much better with pecs
>>37534375
You need a trip homie, would like to follow your progress (nohomo). Also mad jelly about EDC. I don't mean to crush your goals but just to aware you of what's realistic based on your height and presuming natty, your FFMI max is far below 175lbs. I suggest you read up a bit on the topic, it helped me get a better perspective on what random anons on /fit/ tell you that you "should/could" weigh (while still being <10% bf) versus reality as evidenced by a large sample of athletes/bodybuilders who have actually peaked according to their age, height, and BF%. The numbers often spouted here are from guys who either haven't done the research, or think weighing more is somehow an achievement. At 5'9 I hit 174lbs at my peak bulk this year, but looked nowhere near as appealing as I do at 155.
Almost done compiling year 2's progress pics including said bulk up to 174, hopefully the pictures will illustrate this point to a lot of new lifters out there. Scale weight = useful but not the sole variable to use when goal setting.
>>37534728
He used to have one
It was red or had red in it or something
Also Mirin physique balcony
>>37530388
Mfw we are the same weight but I'm 3.5 inches taller so I look like shit compared to you.
>>37530974
Fake and gay
>>37534728
Secure tripcodes are for jerks
>>37534182
Fake and gay
This was me 2 years ago, I was 1.90 meter (6'3) weighed 66.6 Kg the Day I started lifting (no joke)
>>37534227
:^)
>>37535705
Forgot the pic
>>37534728
your scale numbers were made up anyway, you were changing +/- 20 lbs every few months
why would anyone believe you? peak bulk at 174 so you cut 20 lbs? what the fuck is this shit
>>37535796
This is my progress so far
>>37530352
Nigga you're like 5foot. Otherwise good progress I guess, shame about the height.
>>37535797
Believe what your jaded "everyone lies and all trips suck" heart wants to believe, anon. The sole reason I made that thread with the monthly weight/pics progression was to point out my MISTAKES made during that year - one of which was the large swings in weight due to still learning what dieting methods worked and didn't work for bulking and cutting cycles.
Some of us are here to help others and spread knowledge (not repeat fit memes) gained through *actual* experience in the gym and dieting. Others are here to find things to complain about. You do yours, I'll do mine, we both win.
And this picture should explain to you why I cut those 20 lbs. The 2015-2016 bulk was over, I hit the cieling on acceptable bodyfat. That simple. If you can't understand pictures I suggest...ah fuck, I don't even know what you should do next. You're just screwed for life I guess.
>>37535807
nice bro. routine?
>>37534204
thanks senpai
>>37534349
eat less, move more for a very long time
>>37535483
I can take more if you want ;)
6' down to 152 lb from 190
C-can I clean bulk now?
>>37535894
if currently 10%, you were over 20% at the peak of your "bulk"
feb 28 to may 9 is 71 days, 20 lbs in 71 days is a deficit of -1000 calories
either, your numbers are wrong or you lost an absurd about of LBM on your cut
>>37532091
Sorry you didn't get any replies till now for some reason. Great body, inspiring, especially for lankets.
>>37530306
5'10"

Old picture, 1 year ago or more I don't remember
>>37536048
New one, still lot to go
11 days into my first serious cut after never caring about my diet. 7 pounds down already
>>37537085
Why are you cutting ? Bulk nigga and got to the gym
>>37537093
trying to get lean for once, too much body fat for me. I started out just plain skinny fat
Here's my 8 month natty transformation.
I went from a 200 pound fathlete working a labour job with a lifetime of semi-competitive sports and too much food and beer to a pretty aesthetic dude.
Like I said, I have an athletic background and spent 5 months digging holes and hauling boats and other laborious tasks as part of my job, so I went into the gym stronger than many of you may have.
Today I weigh about 174-176 pounds, bench 265 for 5, squat 345 for 5, deadlift 465 for 5 and can do 5 pull ups with 105 pound dumbbell.
>>37537138
Looking good man, great progress. Very friendly looking too. You can tell in the first pic you already had some good muscle mass underneath, nice work both growing it and making it more apparent by dropping significant BF.
>>37532091
Were you lifting the whole time?
I more or less failed my first bulk (my goal was to hit 145 lb), but I got myself a foundation for next year, where I want to go up to 150 lb.
We're all gonna make it one day
>>37537419
Damn, you still look good man
5'11, 151 to 156. filter on the second one because I'm pale fuck and was washed out in the light
5'9 (inb4 manlet)
3 years
125lb aushwitz mode to 160lb
>>37537737
You look like you put on way more mass than 5lbs in the second pic, gotta be the lighting
>>37533914
Did your face get less feminine?
>>37537737
You either dont work legs or are shorter than 5'11.
>>37537737
>5'11''
>156
One of these is way off. My guess is the first.
>>37530755
You look like shit. Work your tricep more or you are gonna look even more retarded.
>>37537774
>>37537784
5'11, "what is lighting" : a guide to babbys first selfie
>>37537763
Not sure since I'm only going by scale weight. I'm leaner than before so maybe no more than 6-7 lbs
>>37533914
Be happy about the chair force. The only thing the marines have given me is crippling depression, and 1/2 the gainz I once had
3 years between the pics, 1.8 years liftin', 5'8@145
>>37530306
Nice
>>37530352
Looking good bruh
>>37530806
Work dem low abs, niicee
>>37532091
Miriin
>>37537804
Now your arms look DYEL, this shit's not adding up
>>37537941
Photo on the right was after hitting arms and chest. Photo of legs was on a rest day. Most people don't walk around with a pump all the time lol
>>37537941
They look exactly the same as they do in the shirtless pics. WTF are you talking about
>>37537804
You need tighter shirts bruh
>>37537969
Just what I sleep in senpai
I had a progress, once... None of which includes facial hair consistency, lel
>>37530444
What did the before photo look like before you squashed it horizontally?
>>37537386
yes i lifted quite consistently during the period
>>37532091
Dat hair
>milo.
>>37538429
You remind me of Penn Jillette
>>37538429
Miring dedication bro truly am.
I don't want to mean but imo you fucked up pretty bad by crash dumping 200 (two hundred) pounds in only 1 year and then proceed to try to fill up the saggy skin in the next 5 years.
You would have ended up way better looking if you had just gradually lost the fat in a controlled and healthy manner over the span of those 6 years
This is me right now. Fell for bulking meme and believed I was gaining muscle. Forgot that I am do not have enough testosterone. Posting this for motivation to make myself look better. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e8Rpj7dUsR8
>>37538901
We are all gonna make it brah
>>37536084
Good progress brah, keep it up
>>37538811
Kind of a myth yo.
Literally everyone seen on 4chan who lost that kind of weight over ANY period of time ends up the same. And even if it were true, 5 years surely would have seen some difference, no?
>>37535900
jazzhands x10
>>37530306
>>37538811
There's been like, at least a couple dozen examples on /fit/ of people who have lost 100-450 lbs over a range of timeframes and literally ALL OF THEM have loose skin to show for it.
Fucked collagen is fucked collagen, and some scarring simply won't shrink back up.
>>37539214
>filename.png
>>37539202
>>37539281
I lost 120 pounds over the course of 4-5 years and it's turning out to be quite OK.
>>37539281
collagen is collagen but when people refer to loose skin it's just fluid/broken down remaining fat within the skin.
>>37539214
srsly, is this shopped?
>>37539354
>pants covering gutlip
>>37539305
Define Ok
>>37539354
how long would it take for the loose skin to go away/for him to have a "normal" appearance?
>>37537419
What's up with that belly button?
>>37539994
takes as long as it does for the fat to be metabolised off.
Started working out late March. Bulking and doing SL5x5.
>>37540925
6', started at 175lb, 20 y/o, not sure how long I should bulk. I have lifting goals and not weight goals but I think I might cross over into fat territory if I'm not careful.
