Fuck yeah man! That's some good shit. Im cutting down hard right now. I wanna be around 220 also by the end of summer. I've been dabbling in low carb, with carb up before my training... what did you do?

I've been drinking fit tea everyday lmao



No, but just some Canadian black bear magic from @RodgerThat

He has been helping me out with diet and lifting programs, I've just been following his cues, staying on track with my diet and pushing hard in the gym.

Well I started this and literally haven't posted in forever. So much going on I wouldn't know where to begin but I've been on my game lately. Strength going up again (long ways to get back to where I was). This is the heaviest I've been this lean. I hate trying to "guess" my BF% but I'd say around 12-13ish.

The upper picture I posted 1 year ago. The lower picture is from today. Not the most life changing transformation and surely not as impressive as most of the members here but I'm Damn proud of myself. I was blasted pretty hard for my legs a year ago. Don't know how drastic they've improved but I have tried. The last year I have been on TRT but no cycle. My weight hasn't changed much 255 lbs. At 37 I feel like I'm getting better every year.

Unless you are carrying fat on your legs and glutes, you look sub 10% to me but just guessing based on one photo. Either way you look great.

Thanks brother. I appreciate it. I've been working on creating as much lean muscle as possible. I'm not bodybuilding or looking for a super low BF% cause I've done that and it's miserable. That's why I like powerlifting. I still wanna have the most muscle possible for my weight class. As far as BF some body types fat tends to sit more on top of the muscle where others it can be more intertwined within the muscle leaving the appearance of looking like less body fat. There really is no way to look at someone and be like "you're such a such percentage". I always test way higher then people who look "softer" than me

Interesting I've wondered about this before, kind of like a marbled steak I guess. I think Stan Efferding talks about fat intertwined with muscle and around organs making it hard to tell bf% in one of his rants.

That's why it kills me. All these people running around i look about 13%. You could literally be 20% or even 8%. The only reason i throw mine around a little is I've been tested several times and know how I personally look and feel in certain ranges

Was looking at progress pics over the last few years and thought about this thread. Been awhile since it's been bumped.

Nice bump. The transformation of vanilla gorilla is freaking amazing. Like two entirely different people in the before and after pics. Truly inspiring.

Figured some new people might have something to share. Most of these guys in this thread aren't around anymore unfortunately. Feeling nostalgic.

Thanks for bumping this. Finally made my way through it all. Eventually I'll have pix posted but it's good to see where some of the frequent posters I recognize came from.

 

[flenser]

Great thread. I would post pics, but labeling one before and one after would imply the before pic is in the past, when really it's also in the future. I've been on a fat-to-fit-to-fat cycle since my 20s that's unlikely to end in this lifetime!

 

[Perrin Aybara]

I guess I can kick this thread back off with some updated progress pics:



I would have been 17-18 here, probably 120lbs



I think I was about 24 here, around 250-260lbs



Right before my first cycle in 2015, around 215lbs here. Had been powerlifting natty for a few years and permabulking basically



First 700lb deadlift last year at around 215ish



About a week ago at around 200lbs
