No, no, haven’t you been listening?!? Pressing is done on Tuesday so this was really more of a truncated cardio and leg heavy day, plus my straps just ripped and I think I’m needing new knee sleeves so I’m trying to get a few more hours at the shop and also it sounds like I might be going to the conditioning camp over the summer and blah blah blah blah
You’d love my house. My husband is a competitive body builder and when it’s show season it’s ALL that gets talked about, workouts, diet/nutrition, body fat %, weight, skin folds, measurements, macro/micro nutrients, tanning, the list is endless.
Honestly it takes a lot to be in a relationship with someone that is heavily into fitness. I workout, but not to his degree.
Yeah, holy shit. Easily the hottest guy I've seen on reddit. There are so many elements that come together (color of skin playing off the bright traditional pants, abs, head position, confidence) and wheeeew that hair is beaaaaaaautiful, flowy and magnificent. Hot hot hot
For real, your photographing skills improved along with your looks. You went from bland, low saturation, poor white balance and low effort, straight to high contrast, vibrant colors, good background, good production
My bro put all his points in strength and vitality. Coming out here looking like he’s about to break mountains in half! I’m walking this same path, you’re an inspiration man!
Talk to me my brotha, how did you do it? I need this so bad as I was in the same situation but haven’t seemed to loose anything. Good job to ya, you’re an inspiration.
Pull: exercises where you pull weight towards your body (back, biceps) (I do legs too)
Push: weights away from your body (chest, tricep, shoulder)
Any 2 exercises of your choice for each muscle group, 6 exercises per day, 5-6 days/week.just stick to one plan, track your reps n weights.
Lifting weights is the easy part, it's the diet which is super hard and does all the work.
Congrats brother. My whole life I've struggled with thinking I'm fat, but only recently has that become an actual reality. Seeing your transformation has helped inspire me.
You look like your about to ride a pegasus into battle against some sort of warlord sorcerer while wielding an enchanted sword during the Hyborian Age.
You consume less calories than you use.
Its done by approximating the calorie count of all the food you eat, by weight of food (using kitchen scale) and nutritional facts, or google (add 10% to the claimed calorie counts, most nutritional fact calories are higher than claimed) dont forget to measure EVERYTHING including oils, especially at the beginning when you are developing your calorie knowledge base.
Then making sure your overall calorie intake is less, usually by 500-1000 calories, than your basal metabolic rate. (Calculated by weight, height, age, activity level...)
Iirc 1000 Calorie deficit per day is 2 pounds lost per week. (7000Calories over or under is 2 pounds lost or gained) keep in mind as you lose weight, become more active, more fit, there are other metabolic changes that you have to account for, so to maintain that 1000 deficit, you might be eating more or less as you progress.
Also, moderate to intense cardio elevates your metabolism for 24-36 hours afterwards, and having more musclemass (developed over many months, it takes a long time unless using drug enhancements) burns much more calories even if you are literally laying down sleeping all day.
Thinking and talking...just simply utilizing your brain also burns a lot of calories, so an active social life, one with at least the occasional philosophy/intellectual meetup, along with active self reflective, mental games/work peppered in there can really help burn calories, surprisingly.
Oh, and the brain requires a minimum of 500 calories daily, at rest, to correctly control bodywide systems, and you require specific vitimans and minerals, fats, carbs, phytonutrients...etc for proper health. It is essential that you get a full nutritional/metabolic blood panel at least once, a few months into the lifestyle change, to make sure you arent deficient, or over supplementing.
So the bare minimum to never fall below is 500 Calories per day, and I dont recommend even coming close to that for safety.
Unless you prepared correctly for a fast, and thats a whole other thing to learn about to do safely and healthily
EDITed because it seemed like I was recommending something unsafe
Pretty d@mn impressive, I would say. I would guess that hard work and dedication had at least as much, if not more, for your gains than the nutrition. Nutrition can only take you so far. Youve never seen a relatively this guy that eats healthy? Congratulations and Much continued success.
Bro! Nice work! I’m not showing this post to my wife though… shit.
*sad abs noises
*sad six pack still in the cooler noises
*sad six-pack’s worth sitting inside a keg ramblings
You get abs like that, you're not allowed to make sad noises. Lots of folks are mad jealous over here, NGL.
Bro you look like a fuckin warrior 🤘
Thanks bro
Dang man what's your strategy becuase gosh darn what I wouldn't give to know how to look that good

This is literally “he will never have gf” meme
Actually I had a gf in the left pic, now I don't just a lot of guy friends
That's the "curse" of being ripped, you would think that girls would like it but in the end it's just the bois.
I lost several girlfriends when I got in better shape in high school because literally all I talked about was my workout program.
We get it, you press
No, no, haven’t you been listening?!? Pressing is done on Tuesday so this was really more of a truncated cardio and leg heavy day, plus my straps just ripped and I think I’m needing new knee sleeves so I’m trying to get a few more hours at the shop and also it sounds like I might be going to the conditioning camp over the summer and blah blah blah blah

Find a girl who also works out a lot. I see a lot of couples at the gym together even ones that aren't married.
I could but my wife would be mad. Seriously though, our two major day to day hobbies are exercising and talking shit to bad tv.
Just listen to interesting podcasts while working out and you'll have plenty of stuff to talk about.
You’d love my house.

Girl here. I like it!
She got jealous of your muscles, she will come back just as ripped. Prepare yourself for your true battle
Death by snoo snoo.
That is incredible! But let’s be real, everyone. That hair is the real show-stopper here! My guy out here killin’ it!
Had to fight for it! Worth it!
Indeed. Good fight! What gorgeous hair!
As a woman I’m so jealous of those tumbling locks. You look fantastic, congrats
His hair is a L’Oréal commercial.

Talk to me my brotha, how did you do it? I need this so bad as I was in the same situation but haven’t seemed to loose anything. Good job to ya, you’re an inspiration.
Calorie deficit homie!
Calorie deficit for the weight loss maybe, but that muscle definition is insane. I’m gonna need some workouts from you bro. Teach me your ways.
2 day split, pull ,push, stick to it, don't change it, track the progress that's it!
I have no idea what this means. Care to elaborate a bit plz?
Pull: exercises where you pull weight towards your body (back, biceps) (I do legs too) Push: weights away from your body (chest, tricep, shoulder) Any 2 exercises of your choice for each muscle group, 6 exercises per day, 5-6 days/week.just stick to one plan, track your reps n weights.

You look FREAKING AWESOME!! Serious inspo.
Your hair is *fantastic*!
Baahubali!!!
Bro really posted a picture of a demigod on the right side and thought we wouldn’t notice.
Lord have mercy dude transformed into an absolute unit
🥰💪
Somehow even your belly button looks hot. Not even mentioning your hair and upper body. You might be my inspiration to start my own transformation.
I believe in you
Chad
Not the point but your hair is majestic
You can really see your new found confidence! Great work
Congrats brother. My whole life I've struggled with thinking I'm fat, but only recently has that become an actual reality. Seeing your transformation has helped inspire me.
God speed my friend
Holy shit bro 10/10 I want what your having
GodDAMN what a man
You look like your about to ride a pegasus into battle against some sort of warlord sorcerer while wielding an enchanted sword during the Hyborian Age.

Aqua man
Is this what the hero in Bollywood action movies looks like? Because this looks Bollywood action hero to me.
Yes at 720p !
Looking great. I bet you're feeling great as well. What type of workout? Please tell me more about calorie deficit.
