Try to be gentle /fit/ recovering skelly here
>>36661851
People say "good base lift hard" all the time, but it's extremely applicable here. Don't overbulk and you'll be looking really sick in a year.
>>36660665
Fuark. Nice brah. Stats?

Thx guys
Like all skellies I just can't seem to eat enough but I'm determined to make it brehs
>>36661866
I'm pretty much exactly where he is right now. How do you know when your overbulking?
Ignore the lack of cuts/vascularity, lighting is horrific.
Are my traps finally caught up to my Delts/Back? Have had trouble with them since I ruptured my back and had to stop deadlifting.

I used my working sets and threw them into a 1 rep max calculator.
Bench: 210lbs x 6 reps
Squat: 275lbs x 6 reps
Deadlift: 385lbs x 5 reps
OHP: 135lbs x 5 reps
But hey, you don't gotta believe me. Not my fault someone smaller than you is stronger.

How'd u do it. I'm basically where u started

Your core looks fragile.

guys, if you never seen it, this is it.
ps. your midsection looks too narrow and weak
Progress for the last 3.5 weeks of cutting
Bench has stayed the same and squat/DL have gone up 10 lbs on this cut so far.

Yeah man, your traps are looking decent. You got damn fine proportions. AND you got visible vascularity. Mirin shoulder vein

>Jelly of lats
Nothing to be jelly of. If I can't fly away, my lats aren't big enough.
You're looking thick as fuck. You think you might cut, soon?
>>36662816
Hit dem delts more man. Otherwise you remind me of a highschool swimmer who pulled all kinds of tail back then.
>>36662962
Core looks good. You should throw in some more lat and back work to balance out. Looking good though man.
>>36663024
Not gonna lie, I'm mirin a bit. A little more arm and delt work and you'll be solid. Stats?
>>36661895
Is me btw >>36663320
>>36663308
Core has a bad angle for the shot. I just hit a bodyweight (180) strict standing OHP today/squat heavy, and I try to do ab work but it never seems to grow, wide hips kinda steals my thunder as well.
This photo sorta shows the adonis/Core a little better.
And yeah, my dysmorphia is horrible. I don't know how to overcome it.

>>36663320

Nah man, I'm only halfway into my 2nd bulk. Plan to hit 185 before its time to cut again. Bulking all the way through summer brah!
>>36663681
fukin use bags of water, books. make your own shit and stop making excuses
>>36664184
Dem chest
Dem long limbs
Noice
Mirin, man. Don't cut for too long tho, you gotta get some more meat on dem forearms.
The shitty thing about long arms is that they are fucking hard to add mass on. I know first hand. But once you do, they'll look sexy as fuck.
>>36663776

Dude you better expect it, your bone structure is fucking sick. You look aesthetic already, but that's just me desu

>>36665244
Lose fat and work out abs
>>36665261
I sat in a dark room and reached for the ceiling whispering "grow grow grow" every night
Thanks btw senpai, I'll change the emoji. It pisses me off too
>>36664936
No routine really dude, I just lift
PPLx and eat a lot.
Most lifts I do are
1x30 warm up
2x12 work up/midway
3x8 heavy
The exception is deadlifts which sometimes I'll pull 3 wheels for doubles or 185lbs for like 10/12.
been doing sl5x5 for ~5 months, wasn't eating enough until ~2 months ago. patiently making gainz but damn i'm still scrawny
>>36665374
If you have a hard time eating enough, buy some gainer
>>36665374
Current SL numbers?
>>36665277
>Lose fat and work out abs
what kind of exercises are best for working out the abs?
right now i only do decline crunches with a 35lb dumbbell. was thinking of buying an ab roller
>>36665374
What are your stats including height and weight
>>36665423
i started doing 2 scoops of protein a day which has helped me through my OHP and bench plateaus. also started consciously eating more throughout the day, but may end up buying some gainer or quest bars.
>>36665427

>>36665463
5 months and those numbers. We're you not putting on weight every workout. I mean compared to your body weight those aren't too bad but you should be making much more gains. Don't get weight gainer just start eating more. I used to be like you 6'3 155 but then I just started eating Brekfest now a typical Brekfest is
>4 eggs (2whole, 2whites)
>4Slices of whole wheat bread (Make sandwiches with eggs)
>1 1/2 cups of milk
>1 Banana
>>36665374
Everyone is now aware that you shop at Banana Republic
Buy Carnivor Mass
>>36665541
*Breakfast
I don't know why my phone kept autocorrecting to that
>>36665541
>bread
>>36665541
I know I could have more gainz - I was putting more weight on every workout at first, but after the 2nd month I intentionally slowed down on adding weight so I could focus on proper form. I was running into issues with pain / improper form on reps, and wanted to get that straightened out before I moved up in weight. I am kind of strict with myself, I don't count it as a rep if the form wasn't good.

Also legs are big and strong in comparison because I used to play volleyball
4 week cut (~187 to 180 lbs). Plan on going until I see some abs, then on to a clean bulk.

First time posting on CBT...
Few questions...
Am I out of DYEL mode yet?
How do I get the outer pec region nice and thick and juicy?
Anyway to lose the love handles other than a drastic cut?

>>36676263
I feel like you might be going to fast on the shoulders. Try working your bis and tris a bit more often. Also, DO A CORE WORKOUT
>>36676263
you need to stop whatever you are doing and go reread the sticky because it looks like you are only working arms, shoulders, and upper chest
>>36676245
are ur biceps pumped or something? what's ur bicep routine
>>36676298
Nah, my biceps are shit I think.
Pullups/ Chinups weighted at least 4-5 sets 2 times a week, all sets till failure or one before failure, always in the below 8 rep range and curls with whatever I can get 5-8 reps out of again kind of the same. Didn't even have an arm day till about 1 month ago.

I hope the rest of your face is as aesthetic as the bottom half.
>>36676154
You sir, are the definition of a tool.
>>36678261
I'm not sure why I had a sad look on my face in this pic, need to work on my facial expressions when posing
>>36660665
Not really into lifting for aesthetics. I do strictly sprinting and lifts that can get me faster

I can physically see that all the numbers you posted are lies.... You posted a picture of yourself do you realise that? you have no legs no abdominals no chest.. you squat 4 plats on each side of the fucking bar? really? you deadlift 4 plates on each side of the bar? you fucking bench more than two plates per side? i mean the bench is at least believable for an average fit person but for that chest? no fucking way. Physically fucking impossible. I am not trying to be a dick but why lie about lifts?

Fair question. No I am not gay. Haven't given much thought to it. Some closet homosexuals at the gym are thirsty for this piece of chocolate, and I just laugh. Self expression has very little to do with sexuality, almost nothing at all. I don't really care what others think of me, it really doesn't affect my life.
The hair is a tangible expression of my personality not sexuality.
The scooter is also something I've always wanted to get but cared too much in the past what people thought so I drove around in a 2015 C63 AMG Mercedes Coupe.
When you express yourself instead of being what people want you to be life is much fuller.
I got criticism for having length when I had black hair, criticism for being successful and driving a nice car. Young black, successful, great body with a luxury car, he must be a drug dealer.
If you are happier than most people expressing yourself they will try to being you down, but that's just their insecurities showing. You can't let other people's insecurities and expectations change the way you behave day to day, or the way you dress, the colour of your hair, or mode of transportation.
tl;dr there is no 'gay' hair or 'gay' scooter only insecurities leaking from others.
>>36678852
Loving every minute on this thing. Costs me less than $5 to fill up and a tank lasts almost two weeks. Insurance was $77 for the YEAR [counting shekels intensifies]
>>36680582
Jesus that's a long rant to say 'nah im not gay faggot'.
The scooter's and your hair's still gay though.
>>36680582
Well, to be fair, I typically read certain ques as to who you are if I don't know you, I.E your hair, your attire, etc. I don't assume immediately that's the case, but I keep all doors open to interpretation and those are fairly prominent. Was just wondering, though.

cut #1: jan 2015 to 2016 (180 lbs to 154 lbs, 10% bf DXA)
bulk #1: jan 2016 to end of march
cut #2: last week or so
bulk at nearly 4K kcal/day was too fatty, so i'm cutting back to single digit again, then pushing to 165-170 lbs at a smaller surplus

no worries. Consider a PPL. You can take your shirt of in public fine but I doubt you'd get many mires for upper body

>grow muscle easily?
Who said steroids make muscle growth easier? You still need to have diet + training dialed in to reap the maximum benefit.
Look at the human studies with testosterone.
The group that didn't work out gained more LBM than natty lifters but the most exponential growth was seen in users + training.
They used 600mg test if I recall correctly.

Deadlifts and farmers walk;I find barbell shrugs do fuck all.
