>>37824359
Awesome progress. Keep it up.
>>37824359
Nice V-shape, huge delts, defined neck/trap area - one hell of a transformation, nice!
>>37824359
no fucking way
>>37824359
Goal body right there!
>>37824609
Yes way
I'm 5'3 and currently 150lbs. Going by what the sticky says on how to calculate calorie intake for weight loss, I've been consuming an average of 850 calories a day, all from chicken and vegetables.
I've already lost three pounds (though it's probably water weight) but I'm worried about the calorie amount itself. Is it safe? I feel like I shouldn't be this hungry with all the protein I'm eating, but I am and I'm starting to wonder if I'm not going about this the right way.
>>37824719
try 1500 for male
1200 female
protein 1g per lb
Started lifting 2 months ago.
6'7"
>>37824719
That's way too low for calories males should probably never go below 1500 even at your size
>>37824744
nice frame
>>37824719
I don't know your tdee, but I can pretty much guarantee you 850 is WAY too low
Cut at -500 cal (500 below your tdee) and LIFT
You're not that fat to be cutting that hard
>>37824744
nice potato cam
Powerlifting for 3 years.
>>37824744
I have never seen shoulders this much wider than rib cage
Eat like a mother fucker
>>37824765
7 years ago. Weighed 65-67 maybe?
Was just brolifting up until 3 years ago when I switched to powerlifting and doing Sheikos programme with some bodybuilding once a week.
Total of 525kg during competition.
Now i weigh 87kg.
>>37824780
It's in the family, but my younger brothers have a lot wider hipps and waist.
>>37824744
you are blessed. Go and seize it
>>37824793
>>37824765
Nice progress but why do all "powerlifters" end up growing a beard?
>>37824744
You have the HEIGHT and FRAME do you have the FACE?
Doing pretty well now. Getting skin removed in November.
>>37826521
Pretty good work.
>>37826521
Nice
What was your before weight and what's your weight now?
>>37826622
136 kg before and 76 kg now.
>>37826602
Thanks man
>>37824744
HFF incarnate
Don't fucking waste it
>>37824744
You gonna be fucking massive if you keep lifting.
Keep it up son.
>>37824359
Ok I think you're just straight up attention whoring now
Always the same pic without really adding anything to your posts
>>37824359
Yes, but...
What are your facial gains?
>>37824744
Spooky
>>37824359
Where tf is ur vascularity m9
>>37825462
Don't know. But I work in a steel factory so having a beard kinda helps in a macho dominated work place. Also I have an easier time with girls because of it. I look like a baby without it.
>>37826682
pretty great, i still look like a faggot but at least i don't look like a fat faggot, probably went from a 2/10 to a 5 maybe 6
>>37826667
I'm sorry you feel that way, I've only posted that pic once before though.

To answer your question it was pretty cold where I was.
>>37824359
what was your diet like? 500 calorie deficit?
what do ya think laddies
>>37828252
Fuckin' nice progress. I'm currently at about your half-way point, could you outline some of the shit you're doing (routine, diet) if it wouldn't be too much bother?
>>37828227
Never really counted calories I just did bulks and cuts. If I was bulking I would eat more and if I was cutting I would eat less and do more cardio. Its less efficient than counting calories but it keeps me sane.
>Pic related is a longer view of my progress so you get an idea of what I mean
>>37826673
He's a qt now, if i remember correctly.
>>37828375
post face
>>37828277
Thanks bro, if u wanna continue cutting I would recommend burning like 200 calories somehow erryday before breakfast. Other than that do big exercises and pretty much follow the sticky according to your goals
>>37828252
what were you doing between the last two pics my dude
did you keep cutting further before the bulk or did you do something more recomp-oriented?
>>37828455
Sounds good, thanks man.
>>37828486
not too much tbqh senpai

Holy SHIT. Mirin that frame so hard.
Got the last of my posture issues sorted out.
Not pictured is me at 300 lbs last october before I realized I was going to fucking die if I kept being a fat lazy cunt.
>>37824744
The responses to this post are so positive, this is why /fit/ is the best chan board, no doubt.
>>37828868
I'm 6'3 btw
>>37828227
you know scoob is into those bananas man haha.
>>37824744
What the fuck is this shit
>>37828681
Not him, but don't bulk too hard.
There's only so much muscle you can gain in a certain period of time, if you mindlessly go a lot over your targeted calories you'll only be adding body fat.
He said he didn't count his calories; if he did, he probably could've avoided that period of looking a bit worse.
>>37826521
routine? diet?
>>37828462
routine? diet? tell us about
the today part was from a week ago after having food poisoning and puking and shitting my brains out. those pictures are me at my lightest.
Now I'm lifting and bulking
>>37829318

>>37824359
Omg
How do I get a bf like you op?
No kidding, if you have any sort of tips or an ideal girl please post

th-th-thanks /fit/
>>37829223
Nothing special, really. Diet mostly consisted of chicken breast or other easy to cook shit, always stayed at a calorie defecit.
Routine was SS since last May (which didn't do much, I know), then [fithasnospoilers]boot camp[/spoiler] since March.
Starting to get back into lifting again and I'm weak as FUCK, was squatting and benching like 100lbs max yesterday on my first day in the gym in months. But this time I'm at least doing it with decent form, so I've got that going for me, which is nice?
>>37828442
Here pls be gentle
>>37829361
Short high test brunets are my weakness. Also you must be able to handle the banter. Bonus points if you wear dresses a lot.
>>37829355
my shoulder was fucked so i couldnt lift for a few months. Trust me I would've been lifting otherwise
>>37829452
Cute, that's a solid 7.

Working on it, hard to gain weight at my height.

Good job man
Quit wearing tight shirts though. It doesnt look good on you
>>37829898
shut up he looks hot af
>>37828578
Did your lifts stay the same through last year? You're frame looks the same just defined now
Me when I was 16yo and about 75kg. To mirin on not to mirin?
>>37829898
It looks form fitting, much better than a baggy shirt which hides his gains

Don't remember any, Was about 75kg. Benching about 100. All I remember.
>>37824359
natty?
One year apart on the day. How did I do, fit?
Down a total of 8-ish kgs over all.
183 cm at 76 kg.
I'm a student, so not much time for working out during exam seasons (~2 months a year with an average of 2 gym days per week)
Spots on chest are from severe acne, but it has died down quite a bit lately.
>>37830048
natty?
>>37830048
Stats and lifts? Mirin.
Someone thought you roid, that's nice
>>37830086
Lighting, pump and flex helps A LOT. 100% natty, but have been very strict with my diet lately.
>>37830093
Stats are pretty bad/average and have worsened lately because of exams
Bench 80kg 4x5
Deadlift 150 kg 4x4
OHP is really bad.
Have been switching between using dumbbells and barbells, so no strength gains have been made. 0/10, would not recommend doing so.
>>37824744
work back like crazy
How can I look like this?
I'm 5 9" also but only 125lbs

Are you a teenage girl?
>>37830243
Lift weights and eat good food and rest
Then when your weights get too light, lift heavier weights. Then when those get to light, lift heavier weights. Then when those get to light, lift heavier weights. Then when those get to light, lift heavier weights. Then when those get to light, lift heavier weights. Then when those get to light, lift heavier weights.
And do it consistently
>>37830351
no...
just always had trouble gaining weight all my life
>>37830357
Eat a big breakfast. At least 1500 calories. Then it's easy to get the rest.
>>37828462

>>37824359
Starting weight 145
Now 160
>>37830479
I was even more skinny a few months back.
>>37830530
Actually im 167 right now but im a bit full so more like 165
>>37829886
Nice work? Routine/Diet? Did you count on IIFYM or calorie counting more? PPL or SS or SL?
>>37824359
workout routine to lose all the fat? also how long did it take before you could kind of see abs?
>>37828873
/fit/ is the worst most fucking underage fucking board and you're a massive fucking autist faggot
>>37830628
Up until 2 months ago I just ate less and estimated calories. Now I'm eating 5 times a day and each meal usually consists of chicken or fish brown rice and broccoli. All adding up to 2000 calories even. And just switched my routine to PPL
>>37830648
>underage fucking
Who here fucks underage people?
>>37830628
Here is what my day looks like diet wise.
>>37830532
Shame you're getting deported soon, we could've lifted together.
>>37830686
The other underage people who browse this board I hope
>>37824359
Please tell me what your diet was like and what you did for cardio? I'm a couple inches taller than you but I'm as huge as your before pic. I've cut my calories to 1000 below maintenence and I've been lifting and riding a bike for the past few months :-/ I'm losing weight slowly.....very slowly
>>37824744
THE AMOUNT OF POTENTIAL IN YOU BRO. YOU ARE BLESSED. KEEP AT IT. IT WILL BE BEYOND WORTH IT
>>37830023
Obviously
>>37830644
Worked out like a bro 5 day split while I was losing the weight bad idea though I suggest upper lower rest repeat. Took around a year to see abs see>>37828375
>>37830727
I ate very little and walked with the tread mill incline all the way up for an hour every night while watching Netflix. If you're losing weight slowly eating 1000 caps below maintenance you arnt eating 1000 calls below maintenance. Lower your calories if necessary. If your as big as I was a big deficit isn't that bad.
>>37830859
so you recommend PPL? what was your split exactly?
>>37830890
He JUST said he reccomends U/L not PPL you retard

>high school level 'fitted shirt' opinions
You do -not- want to have your shirt, especially a Henley/longsleeve, be so tight that it pulls and folds in your shoulders/arms like that. Shit you can see his undershirt it's so tight. At 5'9", anyone with some sense/maturity is going to see you as an insecure try-hard.
Please don't make all this progress just to be the guy that's so excited to have muscles that they lose all sense of self-awareness. Most people can see right through that. This is the next step of myspace teenage ab pics.
Pic related. You could go a bit tighter than this, but notice how a relaxed yet still fitted shirt can show off muscles without looking silly.
Unless you are gay, or in high school. Then by all means go ahead.
>>37828375
How did you improve your shoulders like that? Mine look similar to yours in the Nov 7th 2013 picture, and I want shoulders like in your last picture.
Advice from other anons also appreciated, happy lifting lads.
>>37829976
>form fitting
>baggy shirt which hides his gains
This is a reminder that the average person on fit is pretty retarded when it comes to self-awareness, or just underaged. That shirt looks awful on you op. You could probably pull off a T-shirt that tight, but not a longsleeve. Great progress, but you gotta be more casual about it. Also.
>unbuttoned so you can see my undershirt~
STOP
>>37831299
It seems like you're assuming I care what people think. I like that shirt so I wear it some times. Everything else is irrelevant.
>>37831348
Good posture, and squeeze and pause at the top of your lateral raises. Also work on improving your OHP.
>>37831412
>It seems like you're assuming I care what people think
Do not get me fucking started OP
>>37831412
Alright thanks for the advice, best of luck to you as well
>>37831412
>you're assuming I care what people think. I like that shirt so I wear it some times.
This sentence is the text version of that shirt you're wearing.
>>37831299
>If you don't agree with my arbitrary fashion standards, you clearly must be gay or in high school
Kys.
Your rationale is cringey, pseudo-modest, beta bullshit.
Who /halfwayhell/ here?
>>37831412
If you legit don't care, that's fine. If you want it without presumptions, there is this:
Your henley is too tight by any reasonable standard. The hem of your t-shirt is clearly visible.
You're noticeably muscular.
You're 5'9".
>>37824359
>3 years for that
I was afraid my progress was slow but I think I can manage that in 3 years. 2 Years in right now.
>>37831299
I know what you're talking about, every buff manlet i've seen loves abercrombie/american eagle 'athletic' fit one size down. Except the guys that actually play sports.
But I think OP's shirt is just too tight in the chest and arms. It's ill fit, not 'try-hard'.
>>37831685
Fair enough your fashion advise is noted
>>37824744
Good luck senpai. Focus on good form, it's a bit easier to injure yourself at that height.
You've got good shoulders, especially great for 6'7". It's gonna be a long road but you can be a straight up mountain.
>>37831705
Post pics, gains slow down a lot after a year to two
>>37831719
you guys are making me think i might dress like a faggot.
fuck.
>>37831764
If you think you do, chances are you do.
>>37831749
Lemme repeat again tho, great progress. And this fashion critique is just coming from some random asshole on the internet.
You could probably pull some qts and get some respectful nods wearing too-tight shirts, but you'll probably pull more and have a better reception with properly fitting clothes that still show off your physique. You've obviously worked hard, and I would like you to get the max reward out of it. Not to get sloppy and self-indulgent.
>>37831783
what's the consensus?
should i kill myself?
bad pic because the shirt isn't clean. but i have a bunch of these.
>>37824744
HOLY FUCK
you are blessed
so fucking jelly
please do nothing but eat and lift daily for a year
you will come out of it a man
>>37831831
Am I being baited or is this a legit question?
I honestly can't tell.
>>37831831
I want to play with your nipples anon
>>37831849
legit.
im trying to figure this shit out. or is it too late?
>>37831831
>>37831859
Oh and the shirt looks fine
>>37831831
Acceptable for workout and sleep-in clothes, shit for any other kind of situation.
>>37831831
It looks great on you because of your body but nah its not a great fit, as for your first pic, its perfectly fine but probably a bigger size wouldn't hur
t>>37831299
Look at how the henley fits in this pic
>>37831831
You dress like a flaming faggot.
My gaydar is WOEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>37831883
That anon is still to skinny to be able to pull off a shirt that fits the same way it fits on Jason
He looks fine. The shirt looks fine.
>>37824719
Don't listen to these other faggots, and read Lyle McDonald's Rapid Fat Loss Handbook. 800 calories is fine as long as you're keeping your protein intake up. It's not sustainable forever though as your body will readjust after awhile and lower your BMR. Seriously, read it, go, now.
>>37831909
Meh i mean it looks fine but it could look great
The second pic is an actual bad fit but as i said he can probably rock anything
>>37831831
It's at the tipping point, but it doesn't have strong creases in the shoulders/collars, which indicates a shirt being tight enough to restrict movement.
Works fine in a casual sense (like others have said, gym, home, sports), and could -maybe- work in an outfit.
Nice nips tho.
>>37831924
What second pic?
Anybody got some 1 year before and after by chance?
henleyfag here.
thanks anons. i guess i can push the wardrobe replacement further back.
>>37830339
We're all gonna make it. You got this, breh
>>37831934
>strong creases in the shoulders/collars
I think this is the main thing. Looking good in a tight shirt means looking natural, and the fabric laying comfortably on your skin.
This shirt i'd think is pretty fucking tight, but it's got a great fit, and makes gos look natural/comfortable. Like he isn't even trying.
>>37830366
1500 calorie breakfast?
what the fuck am I supposed to eat?
>>37829386
Keep it up, but also
Contacts
Dress better than you used to
>>37832072
But that's the only pic that particular anon posted no?
>>37830698
app?
>>37831962
So are you gonna let me play with your nipples or nah
>>37832091
My fitness pal
>>37832013
Compare this to gos wearing a similarly tight, but less fit henley. Note how awkward the creases make the fit look.
>mfw all the hot guys on /fit/
>mfw they will never cum in your boypussy
>>37829898
"I need to make guys who look better than me look bad by giving them shitty fashion advice."
>>37832121
There's like 2 or 3 hot guys on /fit/, stop being so thirsty.
>>37832130
tight shirts are fine. id bet op would look great in most tight shirts, his body/shoulders are great.
but that tight shirt in particular looks awkward as fuck.
>>37832107
>contacts
now i know again why i did not install it.
>>37832121
Hxng youself mentally ill fag
The start thing said ask questions and i have read the sticky but can someone explain "cutting" to me?
>>37832167
They have the option of looking for people you might know who also use the app through email I think
>>37832183
This is cutting
I weigh 280lbs.
Realistically, how fit could I get in exactly 1 year from now? I just started dieting at 1400 calories a day. After this summer semester ends (~4 weeks) I plan on going to the gym 3-4 times a week and lifting/doing cardio.
I have previous experience of lifting/being in shape, so I know what to do. Just curious if anyone else has tried to get as fit as possible in a year.
>>37824744
You will be one of the most beautiful men if you continue.
Please keep it up and make me weep that I will never get to give such a glorious man a massage.
>>37832218
Fucking hardcore. I think traditionally you're supposed to do that with a razor blade, not a broadsword.
Was 130lbs when I started lifting. Just over 190lbs now.
Lifted on an off for 5 years.
>>37832229
You could easily drop by 10% body fat or more depending on how short you are. That may not seem like much but the difference in 30% and 20% is the difference in obesity and being overweight. The difference in 20 and 10 is overweight and being really aesthetic.
>>37832299
WHY WOULD YOU THROW CLOTHES ON TOP OF THE CLOSED HAMPER
Nice bod though, good balance between the muscle groups. Routine?
>>37828375
I will forever mire you.
>>37828462
Your most recent shots there are absolutely amazing! Not just your body, but your face is looking great as well.
>>37828868
You're doing fantastic, too! Good job fixing that posture on top of that weight loss, anon. I could tell you were a good looking guy even before and you're really starting to shine.
>>37829318
Great job so far, bro. I'm really looking forward to seeing you continue working and getting more lifting in.
>>37829452
Did you have rosacea?
You are now even more reason why I need to continue on this path. The change in your face is incredible.
>>37832218
This person cut their body because the pain helped them deal with their problems and made them feel better.
This person could have just started lifting and could have used that pain instead.
If this person would have started lifting instead of cutting their self they would be happy with the results they could have seen rather than having so many disgusting scars on their body.
This person could have made it.
What a shame
>>37832323
I'm 5'11, king of manlets. Guess I'll try my hardest.
i've been lifting for a little over a year, the skinny pictures were when I only done a little bit of weights, i've gained a lot of knowledge lurking /fit/ and a lot of people here have helped me.
Stats: 5'5" manlet at 66kg/145lbs

your starting weight is my current kek, my starting was 119
>>37832412
Standard periodization, working out 4-5 days a week deloading every 3-5 weeks depending on volume.
Ill do a Legs-Push-Pull-Legs-Arms split. Working one main compound followed by 4 accesories. One leg day is squats, the other is deadlifts. For arm days I just do BB curls and 2 kinds of db curls, and close grip bench and 2 tricep exercises.
Squats and deadlifts I stay in the 3-5 rep range, everything else I go for 8-12 reps, with a few things in the 20 rep range like calf raises and concentration curls
>>37828375
holy shit, mirin. Why such a massive bulk in 2014? I wouldn't be able to go from the Nov 2013 one to Dec 2014 without massive demoralisation
i jus wanna get strong now.
>>37832741
Holy shit almost 400 pounds in the first pick, how tall are you niggar. Good job though

sunlight hasn't touched my naked shoulders since the 90s so its a strange feeling.

Exfoliate and use a lightening cream
Gone in 2 months
>>37832527
I'm the same height as you and I started at 250. First year I wasn't consistent and got injured but still managed to drop 30lb pretty easily. You could probably drop 50 lbs easily probably up to 80 if you are dedicated for a year. Trust me the difference in how you will feel is insane
>>37832527
I'm >>37828868 and have gone down 95 lbs in 8 months. it's not all that hard if you can set your mind to it
>>37826521
Wow, thats a shit loas of weight loss. Do tell how do. Also how you feel about the extra skin?>>37826521
>>37832720
Like I said I was just getting into lifting seriously and "powerlifting" and I was used to being much fatter
>>37832741
I like how you started blurring out your face and then just gave up

190 and what height?

eat more fat and less carbs
fat makes you fat is a meme
but, at your stage none of that matters, all that matters is caloric deficit, so do whatever makes you feel full
