@dawn16 Thanks! Usually around 45- 1 minute 30 seconds between sets. 2-4 minutes between circuits.

@regularposter Damn, who ordered the shredded beef. Nice gainz bro

 

[regularposter]

@daisy83 Haha thank you

 

[anabana]

@regularposter Congrats, although I do think you are being a bit too hard on yourself. Your previous BMI was within the healthy range and you had pretty well-developed shoulders and chest already, with some visible separation in the abdominal muscles such as the obliques.

 

[regularposter]

@anabana Thank you! Perhaps you’re right, i just felt like the wind could blow me over at that weight

 

[williambo]

@regularposter Dude is 2 inches taller than me, 12ish pounds lighter, about the same body fat (guessing based on appearance), and looks bulkier lmao. I’m honestly not even mad, I just don’t understand how that works

 

[glory2god7]

@williambo It's a picture. Angles and lighting all influence how he looks

 

[glockmeister]

@glory2god7 So does a good haircut.....just say’n.

@williambo The leaner you get, the "bigger" you look because of the increase in definition. If he was 12 pounds heavier, he wouldn't look as defined as he looks now. I know, it's strange how it works.

@williambo Dude im also like what!?

Im 5.10, 80kg and not far off in terms of body fat but I dont look like that hahahha

My tights are pretty massive though, and I got pretty broad shoulders so I got a bigger frame to develop muscles on compared to other my height... I guess that could explain it.

 

[trisuimaoga]

@regularposter Nice gains! Although it seems you had a bit of pecs in the first pics. These progress pics always make it seems like my months of exercise are for nothing lol

 

[regularposter]

@trisuimaoga Thanks! I think I have good pec genetics because they’ve always been defined before I ever worked out seriously. Everyone’s results vary, your training is not in vein! Even if you are not happy with your aesthetics just yet you are still benefiting your overall health. With consistency you will get where you want to be!

 

[tara74]

@regularposter Looks like your plants scored some gains too!

What was your 10 minute ab workout?

 

[regularposter]

@tara74 my parents love their plants more then they love me, they all have to come inside before it gets to cold where I live. As for abs I mainly stick to these two routines, I like to switch between them here and there to keep things interesting.

 

[dawn16]

@regularposter Bro, do you mind sharing your diet?

 

[regularposter]

@dawn16 Sure, I start every day with a shake and 3 boiled eggs. My shake contains protein powder, a banana, frozen berries, almond butter and almond milk. My lunch and dinner usually consist of the same few things. Brown rice mixed with quinoa and vegetables, a garden salad with olive oil, lemon juice and a touch of salt, and a hefty amount of meat, mostly lean chicken and beef, but I do have fish occasionally. I also have pasta every now and again but I did reduced my bread intake to virtually none. When I snack I try and stick to fruits or just eat real foods instead of a “snack.” I also try and drink at least a half gallon of water per day. Hope this helps!

 

[waverlyweightloss]

@regularposter As the snack what kind of real foods as examples would you say?

 

[regularposter]

@waverlyweightloss Some meat, like a piece of chicken breast or beef. Rice, salad, tuna fish, baked vegetables. Stuff you would normally see as part of a meal I guess.

@regularposter

How much calories do you eat for lunch Macros and all? I'm expectations are eat anywhere between 500 to 700 cals with a combination of carbs and proteins and I usually rely on frozen meals and I struggle to find more portions to get the rest in. My goal is to aim up to 2800 calories daily.

 

[regularposter]

@notofmyownstrength I don’t calculate my macros at all. My breakfast is 900 calories so I just try to eat 1600 more through the day. Usually my dinner is heavier then my lunch.
