I've been on a 12 month diet, lost about 25-30 kg. Right now I am 61KG at 168 CM (5'6.5 manlet). My BMI states im middle of healthy but as you can see I'm still fat. Do I just disregard everything and keep going until im 55kg?
I do weights 5-6 times a week 75 min workouts, cardio 30 mins daily and 1200-1400 150g protein diet. My plan right now is to keep dieting until i hit 58kg and see what happens then. Obvoilsy muscle gains aren't great since I'm not eating much but I am obessed over losing the belly/chest fat.
Some questions bros:
Am I going to have stretch marks once I lose all the belly fat?
What would you say is my BF% right now? (i think 24-25%?)
abs in 5 months achiveable?
Forgot to point out, only started weights 2 months ago
I'd keep cuttin. No reason not to cut when ur above 15% bodyfat if your goal is aesthetics.
Take another pic without sucking in your stomach.
i sorta look like this dude and i don't suck my stomach in, basically barrel chest & pectus excavatum makes you look like a deformed test-tube-baby
I am geniunely not it just looks like that idk anon.
I've got rolls of fat when I sit down and can pick it from my stomach, chest and sides. Fat might have been a stretch but I don't want to bulk when my tits are sticking out of shirts
No I want to get great body - just been fat most of my life so I want to get a bit thinner first
Bros you really don't see the extra fat all over my body? I am weight lifting and building muscle - my reps are all up. I just want to make sure I'm also losing the fat in the process
there's no extra fat bro, you're at the bare minimum
Stop cutting and start bulking. You are delusional. You are not "fat". The reason you can't see your abs is because they are small and weak and no matter how much you cut, you will never see them. Start bulking.
OP wants to be a twink. Stop being dense.
There’s no reason to bulk unless you are already 12% bf.
Go back to your containment thread Mark
Good job. Keep going. You can do one week of refeeding with a slight caloric surplus. You should keep dieting until you hit 10~12% bf then bulk till 16%bf ad nauseum.
One thing that anons didn't answer - do you think I will have loose skin? I know its really hard to tell me I feel like my skin is fairly flexible so I am hoping I don't since that would be a killer for me. Any ex fat anons with input?
You won't have loose skin. You have to be very very fat and you're not even close
No factor.
Would you rather stay fat? Get lean, then bulk, and get built. If you need an esthetic procedure, you worry about it later.
By the pic doesn't look like it. But age and metabolism could influence it.
Keep going. So have so much bodyfat compared to muscle. You're probably still around 20% easily. So yeah You're "healthy" but most of it is fat.

Bitch moron you don't have any muscle.
>keep dieting until i hit 58kg
Yeah keep doing this until you're anorexic and then complain why you don't gain any muscle.
It's better looking to be thin and weak than fat and strong, you powershitter
All you look like is a tomato left in the sun.
Plenty of girls eat tomato raisins
I've only been going for 2 months, can bench 60 now comfortably (started as 35) and bicep curls 12kgx4(started 7). My lifts are all going up and I am seeing a change in my arms/chest. How can you judge my muscle entirely from this pic?
Because you're constantly cutting and wonder why you're not ripped.
MAINTAIN AND LIFT FOR THE NEXT 3 YEARS.
I know I am not ripped, I just don't think I should bulk on this BF% hence why I am asking it on here. I've only been cutting for 12 months once I realized I was a fat slob
>I just don't think I should bulk on this BF% hence
WTF YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND ABOUT MAINTAINING AN LIFTING?
YOU THINK MUSCLE WILL JUST MANIFEST.
MAINTAIN
LIFT
EAT YOUR PROTEIN
NO NEED TO CUT OR BULK
The guy wants to lose his gut, you retard.
Keep slow cutting and upping your weights as you would any other program. High protein diet. You are still in the noob phase so you can actually do this and still build muscle.
> -500 TDEE
> at least 1 gram per bw in protein
> constant progression
Huge bulks and huge cuts are for people on drugs. Guys like you and me, a good lean cut is all we ever really need. Keep lean cutting till infinity and you'll gain more muscle and lose more bodyfat than if you did a big bulk/big cut
That's what I'm doing right now. I definetely meet my protein requirements, my lifts are getting a lot better and I'm losing fat. I'm most likely 22-24% BF it seems absurd that people are telling me to bulk

>natty follows a bodybuilder brosplit made for roidtrannies with increased metabolism and recovery
>ends up looking like shit with zero gains
Tale as old as time itself.
2 months only bro, you can't see muscle here since I still have fat on and not flexing arms/shoulders
>tfw 6'3
>tfw 145 lbs
it's ogre isn't it?
Going to just ask my own question
>6 feet 4 inches/ 1,94m
>171 pounds/ 78 kg
Im trying to gain muscle and improve my shit posture, been lifting for two months now and increasing the lifts.
i workout two to three times a week for 1-1,5 hours and i eat about 200-300 calories above maintenance.
Is there anything else i could be doing?
I am your height and was around your weight, but my lifts only started increasing substantially (not counting the RM discovery period) after I bumped my volume way up (6 day PPL) and bumped my surplus way up (eating 4000 kcal/day and 200g protein/day, for a surplus of 600-700). So if you get stuck the "JUST EAT MORE AND LIFT" advice you see powershitters give might work.
but I must stress that it's important to record your lfits, record you weight and listen to your body (don't ignore joint pains etc), because what works for someone else might not work for you and result in suboptimal gains or injury.
Definetly recording my lifts (repcount app) and i have considered increasing my intake by alot.
And yeah i honestly should just get out there more.
Thanks for the advice man
>My BMI states im middle of healthy but as you can see I'm still fat.
Yes, you are fucking fat. That's the whole point of the term "skinnyfat". You have very little muscle, which means that you can be at 20+bf% and still be in the normal BMI range. You need to get lean at some point, just keep going. You can always bulk later.
