Former fat guys — are you matching your highest weight?

[BroScienceTalkatWork]

I’m not; I was 220 30% bodyfat with a fuckton of water weight. I’m 5’ 7 and I like clean gains now.

how about y’all

 

[godhatesacoward]

I was 180 when I was skinny fat and I'll be cutting down to that lol

That’s crazy you’re hitting the same numbers

I always feel weaker when lighter. Even if the muscle is the same —- I need that extra sodium, electrolytes, glycogen and water

That bloat let’s me lift much much heavier

I guess the answer is deceiving, I don't SBD lift or 1RM for top power. So it's never been max output, more of a pale explosive athlete. Run a shotgun blast of everything at different intensities.
Lots of sandbags - still can shoulder the 275# , suplex the 235#
Bit of KBs still C&P the 36kgs for reps & sets
High amounts of plyo, calisthenics and gym rings & bars
Still do 3x DLs at 4-5 plates depending on warm up . Bar C&P 225# has always been max due to crap form.
Never bench and might bar squat once every 5-6 weeks, just to sink into hip depth. But its only 2-3 plates for control reps now.
So nothing impressive just same weights used in quick pace circuits.

205 looked like you workout with a shirt on. 183 clean diet looks like you workout with shirt off. Took months to bring it down so it was a slow progression instead of a crash course of depletion.

Well the first part of that is like an alien language except good job on the deadlift god damn



im 21% now, very muscular.. I’m actually at my leanest since the pandemic

Would straight up just bulk and blast steroids at this bodyfat if I could. I don’t care about that gay ass lean “maxing” or whatever the kids say

My body can’t handle higher doses of test at 21% without an AI so for now we cut

Also dude like a lean 183 at 5’ 8 people should absolutely see that you work out in a shirt..

ha, sorry bout the alien language. Typing in Logs quick form
Kettle bells, Clean & Press, Gymastic rings and parallel or high bar , sandbags over bodyweight, lots of platform jumping . Not a powerlifter by any means and never claimed strength. The explosive speed fit stature better.

Probably have read your answers previously and forgot but whats age and how dialed in is your diet + routine before blasting is the final choice . Its too easy to want to jump on magic sauce before we push our potential

No I’m already on it dude

I was 120 kg 33.5% now I'm 112 kg and 28.5%. I'm 6 - 182 cm. 38. Acumulate training. Biggest factor continously go do workouts, sleep overal plenty, eat overal healthy. Everything else is 20%. Those 3 over periods of time is 80%. Gotta have mental clarity to keep doing all these and make it habbits. Reduce unhelpful habbits strengthen good habbits. Than it becomes automated. Get back on it if you fall off. Motivate yourself. Be resourceful. Draw from positive people, get around others with the same goals.
