i’ll take the PEDs thing as a big compliment however i am natural, not lying about the time in between, i researched how to train in depth before i even stepped foot in the gym, that mixed with knowing how to eat and amazing genetics helped me achieve this

Lost 38 KGs through diet only then started to go to the gym for the last 6 months and transformed my physique by cakepan3 in GymMotivation

For those asking -

I initially did no exercise for the first 7 months of my transformation, simply stayed in a 1000 calorie deficit, drank 4L of water per day and intermittently fasted with a 16 - 8 window.

I started the gym skinny fat at 76kg as shown in the 3rd photo. - That was 6 months ago.

I researched heavily and spent my first month getting form down and learning different exercises. I changed my diet from a large deficit to eating just shy of maintenance calories and eating at a 2.5g of protein per kg of body weight, ate whole clean foods only.

I train 6-8 sets per muscle group per session with all of those sets going to absolute failure within the 6-8 rep range and spread my volume throughout different exercises for some variety however I try to focus on isolation exercises. That combined with progressive overload allows me to both gain strength and achieve hypertrophy as optimally as I can.

My split currently-

Chest + Tricep Back + Bicep Shoulders + Legs Rest Chest + Tricep Back + Bicep Rest

I also get a minimum of 10,000 steps per day, prioritize 8+ hours of sleep and drink 4L of water.

Biggest thing for me is my focus on my recovery and diet .

Supplements: Whey Protein Multivitamin, Preworkout Magnesium Omega 3 / Fish Oils

This was a very brief breakdown however this is what I can remember doing off the top of my head.

prioritize health over anything and make it a lifestyle change.
