Just wanna know what can be brought up ?
Full transformation using MacroFactor and the workout app September 2024 - July 2025. 101kg down to 81kg
July 2023-July 2026
My weight is currently 202-205 LBS. My weight before was roughly 183-185. I never do abs or cardio I’m too lazy😅.
Does anyone have a split that focuses on shoulder and tricep growth as a priority ? (first 3 relaxed last 3 flexed)
i’m a previous post i was 175, max i’ve gotten up to is 185, now i’ve slimmed down to 160, but my shoulders are lacking and my tricep insertions make my triceps not look as good, so how can i prioritize those
Can I train both cali and bodybuilding?
For some detail, im natty 17 year old M, with previous casual training. My goals are being good at calistenics, in other words being able to do muscle ups, l sits, planches, front levers, handstands etc, but also having an aestetic and overall balanced phisyque, while also being able to run (for this reason i ignore the leg days, i do not care about aestetic legs and my questions are mainly around upper body) . The way i am trying to achive this is i made a weekly program where i train push 1 pull 1 calistenics style, focused on skills and athletics, and push 2 pull 2 focused on aestetic work in the gym.
I asked a bodybuilder friend , he told me this is kinda unachivable this way because i wont see any progress this way, and told me to do either the one or the other with weeks inbetween.
Is this actually achievable this way or is there another more efficient way?
Before: 125lbs. After (2nd and 3rd pic) 170lbs. 6'1
Is this bad progress?
Putting these photos side by side was a bit of an ego check. I’ve gained around 5 kg since the newer photos were taken, but honestly I feel like I barely look any different. I genuinely thought I was making much more noticeable progress.

Fat% and plan
So I’ve lost about 60 pounds in the last 12 months while managing to gain strength and muscle.
Currently 220 pounds 5’10
What do you think my fat% is and how many pounds should I try to keep losing?
Lastly what muscle groups should I work on for a better build when I’m leaner?
Thank you in advance for the guidance 🙏
I honestly don't know. It's so frustrating.
I've been lifting consistently for about 3 years and I've gone from 63 kg (139 lbs) to 70 kg (154 lbs), so I've gained around 8 kg (17 lbs) I'm 174 cm tall.. The thing is... I honestly have no idea where that weight went because I feel like I look almost exactly the same.
The first five pictures are my current physique, and the rest are from before I started training.
I know I have a decent physique overall, but it still feels like the same body, just slightly better. I still look pretty skinny. I like my proportions and shape, but I'm not happy with my overall size.
My goal has always been to build more muscle, but it feels like I've made almost no visual progress despite consistently training and gaining weight eating 3k calories or even more. Friends and family even tell me I look basically the same as I did before.
Has anyone else experienced something like this? Is there something I might be missing?
My current split need some criticism or things I could change
Hey all I recently just started to hit the gym after a few years of not lifting at all. I have currently been training BJJ for a little over a year now 4-5x a week Mon-Thurs and sometimes on Sat. I usually like to workout before going to class as I feel I perform better in both aspects if I do it this way. I’m pretty open to any suggestions or changes and don’t have any injuries that restrict movement. My weakest areas include my lower back, and lower chest (former big boy here so I actually have great calves lmao). Like I said before I’m pretty open to trying new exercises and any advice that can be given if some reference pics are needed for the current physique I will add them in the comments thank you all in advance much love ❤️.
51 to 57 - My journey - Adaptive athlete
My journey from 51 to 57. I did this naturally. With a disability as can be seen in the photos. Lost my leg to a drunk driver. I eat lean protein, fruit, vegetables, cardio, strength training. I’ve lost 50 pounds and I’ve kept it off for five years. And I’ve changed my body. Happy to answer questions. 🙏
Cut finished cruise begins (Enhanced)
Coming off a decent cut down to 95kg.
Moving into a long cruise and some real life stuff that needs to be taken care of, plan to stay within a month cut of current shape during the cruise but we will see 🤷♀️
Good to have oils back in Aus again, was starting to worry I’d have to find a new true love besides masteron
4 Weeks to 5 Days Out 232.9 vs 217.6 lbs (Enhanced)
5 days out here from the show! Very excited and looking forward to this show. This was the difference of 4 weeks.
Yes I am enhanced
“Cardio” has been 12,500 steps per day and nothing more. No drastic measures of crazy 60 minutes stair stepper. Very happy with this look and here we are in peak week!
Any questions welcomed !
M/28/5’8” [227lbs > 183lbs = 44lbs] (60months). My long journey, with jojo, eating disorder etc, but now maybe not as muscular as I’d like to, but I’m happy!
How to get all the nutrients you need in a day with a few cheap staple foods (plants in particular)?
I'm bulking on a budget. My problem is, I'm getting most of my calories from stuff like milk/butter/sugar. Buying and preparing a large variety of produce poses a few issues: it means most of it goes bad before I can use it and has too few calories for its volume (I have very little time to eat before work and I can't eat during). When I eat fresh fruit and veg, I stop eating way before I should and end up eating too few calories. With my job basically being nonstop physical labor, that poses a huge problem -- I get headaches, dizziness, and lightheadedness and end up having to sit out for a while.
What are some cheap, nutritionally dense plant- or plant-based foods I can get in bulk at any grocery store where I can cover all the vitamins and minerals I need during the day before getting too full?
Pistachios fit my macros really well and they're damn healthy, but they're like $200/gram.
