@chopper1690 Amazing transformation. Congrats on the success. Were there any most important lessons that made it possible? Maybe diet related?

 

[chopper1690]

@dogash For me, the most important lesson is the consection. Day after day, implement a workout plan and diet plan. There is no magic here. I simply watch people who lose their enthusiasm after two months. The month they train and keep their diet and then they stop and come back to it after some time.

According to me, it is important to find a sport for yourself that is made and will become a passion. Just like I love deadlifts and squats so I base my training on them.

Same with diet model. If someone does not like fatty foods, he should not use ketogenic diet. If someone does not like vegetables, he should not be a vegetarian. I like eating a lot of carbohydrates, so I enjoy eating.

We must remember that it simply has to be a change for many years/lifetime, not for a moment

@chopper1690 Hey man, never apologize if english isn't your first language. Do you realize how many of us Americans and other anglophones don't know any other language besides our own?

incredible progress by the way! Shredded. Love the Death Metal shirt by the way!

@dawn16 So true. Please don't be apologetic.

@chopper1690 180cm is almost 5'11, 5'9 would be 175cm. Which is it?

 

[chopper1690]

@dawn16 In my country we have "cm/kgs" probably i wrote something wrong - to be clear

180 cm / 85 kg
