Credit to u/viniciusgepeto such cool art!. Really love the art style and character design.
Been feeling depressed so haven’t really been eating much and haven’t been to the gym in the past week. I want to start looking better but I’m worried about putting on weight again. I’m going overseas for a holiday next month for 3 weeks so that’s not enough time to build muscle, so maybe recomp or keep cutting? I’m currently a light weight for my height I think but I still look fat tho? So idk if I should cut further but I also dont have much muscle.
Can currently deadlift 160kgs and bench 100kg.
I’ve been told 16-19% fat by some then mid 20s-27% by others and to cut down to 62kgs. I was aiming for around 75kgs to get some definition going. Then when I come back from my trip I’m going to lean bulk. Trying to cut down enough now to gain a foundation to bulk. I know I have a lot of fat in my mid section still. I feel like my bottom back also looks soft. Currently tracking on MacroFactor and having high protein. Already down 10kgs. I just want some definition and look good aesthetically. My lifts have gone down a bit sadly especially in chest.
Been trying to cut down to 78-76kgs to look leaner before I go away on my trip in July. Still feeling a bit fat and chubby so want to get lean and athletic looking but finding cutting draining. I’ve already lost 10kgs so far. Honestly struggling to lose those final few kgs. Should I keep cutting to look better or eat at maintenance until my trip? Kinda just want to look better shirtless tbh
I just have an annoying midsection body fat that’s taking forever to cut. Do I still need to cut for another month-two months?. I’m trying to get some ab definition and muscle definition. Worried I’ll become skinny fat and not look good, I’ve lost some strength now.
I’ve cut down to 177lbs from 198lbs and I was wondering do I look like I need to cut for much longer to look leaner/have ab definition. I’m going away soon so trying to look decent lol. Im still feeling fat. If I’m going away on a holiday should I keep cutting then eat at maintenance for a bit?. I’m still holding a decent amount of fat in my mid section. I just want to look leaner. I know I don’t look very good or muscular but want to lose weight to build a solid foundation for when I bulk. Lifts have gone down a bit so hopefully I'm not losing too much muscle on a cut. Getting a bit tired of cutting so hopefully I don't have too much further to go. Worried about becoming skinny fat
Currently trying to cut down to 171-167lbs before my trip. Should I keep cutting down to that and then eat at maintanence before my trip?. I have a decent amount still around my midsection which is taking forever to get rid of.
I’m not too sure how long how long I should keep cutting for, I just want some ab definition and look lean/athletic
Should I keep cutting until my trip or cut for another month and eat at maintenance before it?. I’m going away in July so want to try look good. Still feeling a bit fat. I'm hoping I have enough muscle to cut down to and not look skinny fat.
First few photos were taken a night at the gym, last pic is from this morning.
Thanks!
Hi,
I'm 26 years old and feeling a bit lost in life, I'm currently working in an soulless admin role and as an Intelligence Analyst for the Police whilst trying to find jobs from my degree. I studied a bachelors of interaction design at the University of Sydney, however, it's been hard to break into even with my freelancing work and strong portfolio. I also don't like how unstable it is as a career with so many layoffs and so many of my peers not being able to find jobs. I'm a bit stressed right now as I'm feeling lost in life and what I want to do as a career and I feel like I'll never figure it out since there's so many options. I feel like I'lll be in this soulless job for life and working for the police (I don't like working with the police). Just feeling behind in life. Working for the police has also shown me the worst teenagers with criminal records and knowing what some of them have done has made me a bit hesitant.
I also doing like all the layoffs and offshoring within design even though I enjoy it.
I've been trying to start my career, however, I haven't had any luck and the job market is terrible with us most likely being within a recession. And I'm worried about the cost of living/pay ceiling. My brothers are doing well as Engineers (which I was smart enough to become) /Consultants and i'm struggling to figure out what I want to do. And I’m worried about my HECS debt if I regret it, only in 20K rn.
I have had previous experience in teaching when I worked at Code Camp as well as an educator, however, that was with primary school kids and I'm thinking of teaching secondary. I guess I could apply my degree to teaching if I specialised in Technological and Applied studies.
I was also thinking of becoming a Firefighter and doing teaching as my second job. I applied for the firefighters this year but was sadly rejected even with my first responder knowledge working with the Police. A few of my teachers in school were firefighters as well.
I'm also considering going back to study physiotherapy and specialising in that and possibly starting my own practice whilst applying to become a firefighter which is hard to get into. Or an Environmental role, it feels like every market is saturated.
A few of my friends are going back to become teachers as well and I've been considering it but i'm back and forth between it. I was thinking of becoming a teacher later in life or doing a PhD and becoming a lecturer. I have ADHD so finding a career is hard for me since I change my mind so much and idk if that's affect teaching.
Any advice in the Sydney area is greatly appreciated!.
Thanks!
