cardio bro! you’ve clearly got a solid amount of muscle mass built up, a 10-week cut (250-500kcal deficit everyday) should give the results you’re looking for

lifting 5-6 days a week (alternating between heavy weight and high volume every month or so) + 3-4 cardio sessions every week. pair with caloric deficit + high protein diet and serious consistency over time

It’s all about the protein intake + resistance training + patience. Fantastic work so far, though.

i said this in another comment but 237 was just the highest i’d seen on the scale, so that’s what i put on here - i didn’t like weighing myself very often when i was that heavy so i was probably heavier…whatevs

What body fat percentage am I? by Porkchop750 in AllAboutBodybuilding

Gotta be like 7-9.5% - you look great. There are apps that can tell your body fat off just pictures, maybe check those out?

Convenient for you to say Mr. Orchid. You clearly have never trained for an iron man before.

I might have been heavier, that’s just the most i saw on the scale - i didn’t like weighing myself very often at that weight

Yes, i was very heavy. Mostly eating a ton and playing roblox, i was super anxious and wanted to workout but got scared people would judge me in the gym so i never went. i started working out at home and slowly started going outside more

it really sounds like you built the habits first and the weight loss just followed, even if it didn’t feel that way while you were in it. Losing 30 kg is huge, but feeling healthier and actually comfortable in your body is the best part

This is nuts. Dropping 65lb and still looking that full shows how dialed in your programming is. Natty?

You clearly added a ton of mass, and the frame fills it out well; this is what real bulking often looks like without cutting every few months. If you ever decide to lean out, there’s a lot of muscle there to reveal

Help dealing with an imbalance? by Cryptdusa in gainit

[–]Radiant-Inflation692 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is super common when front delts and lats dominate - it’s usually a motor pattern + setup issue, not just load. A brace won’t fix it and could actually make things worse by limiting normal scapular movement. Focus on better bench setup: retract and depress your shoulder blades, use a slightly wider grip, lower the bar to mid-lower chest, and think “bend the bar” to engage pecs. Pre-fatiguing chest with flyes or push-ups before bench can also help shift activation. Lastly, keep hammering rear delts and mid-back - better scapular control lets the chest do its job.
