M/22/5'10" [225lbs > 185lbs = 40lbs] (1 year). I tried to x-post from r/progresspics but couldn't because of the linked picture.
Here is a picture of my transformation :
This is a copypasta of my r/progresspics comment :
"I did a strict diet for 6 months (2200->1800 kcal, macros were something like 150g protein/100g fats/remaining carbs), this is where I lost most of the fat (I went down to 170 lbs) then slowly bulked up to where I am today. I don't really count calories anymore but I manage to atleast get enough protein during the day. Training wise, I did cardio and weightlifting/bodyweight fitness at home for 2 months (kinda PPLish, I was mainly learning how to exercise correctly), then bodyweight fitness outdoor for 6 months (the r/bodyweightfitness recommended routine, thank you for this sub and the community by the way) and finally started going to the gym 6/7days doing a linear progression PPL, recently switched to nSuns 6day deadlift program. I still do cardio but not as frequently as when I started my fitness journey (I run 2*5k a week or something). Lifts 1RM are 190lbs bench press, 260 lbs squat, and 330 lbs deadlift (calculated)."
I wasn't even able to do 1 push up at the start of my journey. I managed to get 1 bad form pull-up after ~2 months of training (I trained with negative pull-ups and bands) and it was one of the best feeling in my life. I think that without bodyweight fitness I wouldn't have been able to make the decision to subscribe to the gym. I know that people don't judge and all, but going in there with a bit of fitness background was definitely needed for my consciousness for some stupid reason.
When I stopped doing the RR, progression-wise I was doing L-sitish pullups, ring dips, (almost) tuck-Lsit, step-ups, rings push-ups, wide rows (I was also able to do 1-2 tuck front lever pulls with bad form).
I think I got a lot stronger core-wise and this is mainly thanks to the RR. It helps a lot in my current routine especially in deadlifts and squats. BW fitness also allowed my friends to start their fitness journey because it is a lot easier to bring them outdoor and do the routine than to the gym (And its a lot of fun !!)
My goal now is to reach the 1000 lbs club and cut a bit of fat for this summer. I still do pull-ups and the core routine in my current program (nSuns 6days deadlift)
Honestly, this is just a big thank you for all your ressources and your awesomeness. I'll be glad to answer your questions if you have any.
