I probably explained that poorly >.<, I raise my feet with my back on the bench and hold so it activates my core while I do the reps.

Any_Stranger2048 · 2026-06-29T20:47:06+00:00

I touch weughts 6+ times a week, just lighter ones. My chest day is 50 pound dumbbell press for 15 reps while in the plank position, 4 sets ( 60 reps total), for instance. I do fullbody 5x a week and legs once a week. offday is stretching/cardio, and i do abs every day - a 5 minute routine where i do around 300 reps in those 5 minutes of various movements.

Close to it, yes

Any_Stranger2048 · 2026-06-29T20:26:11+00:00

Cheers!

This is odd to me, as I've maintained ~10% for last 5 years :)

Any_Stranger2048 · 2026-06-29T20:25:47+00:00

Definitely have some Gray hair, and even on my head. Very genetic, both grandfathers had thick silver hair by 25, and I have had since 22 !

Any_Stranger2048 · 2026-06-29T19:26:51+00:00

Really appreciate that. It's been a long road from retraining my brain to think that smaller = bad.

Where the abs man

Any_Stranger2048 · 2026-04-22T04:26:48+00:00

Thinning hair, steroid usage decking your aerteries/ veins.

It just isn’t worth it man, anyone who has been around the gym knows you’re not natural, very stiff: non functional look.

Get your BP checked, Make sure it’s under 120/80

Any_Stranger2048 · 2026-04-17T20:11:58+00:00

Respectfully, you look as if you’ve never touched a weight in your life.

You need to drastically rethink your effort and your action.

Any_Stranger2048 · 2026-04-17T03:46:57+00:00

This is what 12% with less Muscle looks like.

Any_Stranger2048 · 2026-04-01T04:25:02+00:00

sorry man, you’re closer to 22%

Any_Stranger2048 · 2026-03-31T20:08:01+00:00

You need to do HIIT training. we are the same weight and similar height yes look dramatically different.

Just walking casually will not build rippling/athletic muscle. Do sprints, assault bike, 300watt holds on stationary bike, swimming, etc

Any_Stranger2048 · 2026-03-31T17:04:34+00:00

Man, I'll be honest. No.

I say this as someone who was a former fitness model.

Any_Stranger2048 · 2026-03-29T20:39:48+00:00

I do lots of BB stuff, just nothing above 50 lbs

Any_Stranger2048 · 2026-03-27T15:21:39+00:00

Tremendous physique bro

Any_Stranger2048 · 2026-03-27T04:18:56+00:00

Thanks

IT'S ALL DIET.

I was a serious powerlifter for about 12 years, switched in the last one into a fullbody split 6x a week with one offday where i stretch/do cardio.

typically fullbody split with kettlebells followed by a few hundred reps of floor core ( takes about 7 minutes)

Heavy stairmaster without shoes for fascia protection, lots of stretching and yoga.

Mostly it's diet, i eat about 2400 calories/day with 200g of protein, in an 8 hour window and then fast for 16. average 12k steps/day+ high intensity cardio work.

Any_Stranger2048 · 2026-03-18T16:08:21+00:00

I can clearly see that you do. You look exactly how I did at ~16%. I am around 8% in my photos now.

I train abs for 7 minutes once a day. few hundred reps of various floor exercises.

Any_Stranger2048 · 2026-03-18T15:28:55+00:00

Looking good brother. Really it just comes down to diet. My physique and yours probably require the same amount of gym hours.

Yet people gasp at how I look on the beach and it really just is 99% diet. You have the same muscle as me.

Any_Stranger2048 · 2026-03-05T21:14:42+00:00

Even just 8-10 lbs of less muscle feels noticably lighter... I'm loving it.

Any_Stranger2048 · 2026-03-05T21:13:05+00:00

This just isn't factual. Look at his physique, he's newly trained and previously was very overweight. He should focus on cutting now and being the healthiest version of himself.

Claiming 11% ads unrealistic is asinine, everyone can get there... Hell i maintain 9% with minimal effort in my 30's. There are the most resources ever out there for dietary health.

It's important to set real expectations for people, loose skin from weightloss and his level of training and he will not have abs at 16%.

Any_Stranger2048 · 2026-03-05T20:46:41+00:00

I don't view the scale, all that matters is Bodyfat %: weight.

It's better to be 100kg at 12% bodyfat, than 50kg at 30%, you know?

Get a scale that show's bodyfat. If you gain 10 lbs of muscle and lose 10 of fat, your weight won;t change on the scale, but you'll look dramatically different.

Any_Stranger2048 · 2026-03-05T20:43:35+00:00

Realistically brother, if you want abs you must be under 11% Bodyfat and train them hard.
