You need to cut for longer than 3 months. You need to cut alot..

And trim that nasty chit off and go back to the facial hair you had in the first pic. Also grow your head hair back like the first pic too (if you can)

It's really hard to get lean the older you get, but you're not that old yet. Cut down all the way and reassess.
its very easy to get lean at any age

I understand but it can still be done. The process might take longer and there will be ups and down but as long as you relatively consistent its fine. Everyone has off days. Just don't lose sight of the girl

you need to actually commit to a proper long term cut, Instead of just trying to cut a little but still be fat in the end, which is the idea I'm getting from you.

Cut to go the whole way and reach 17-19% bodyfat

If your riding bike:


Then do whatever, you will be lean and big no matter what, just dont go full send or you will be dead in late 50's early 60s form cardiac issues SRS








If your Natty:



Just stay lean and lift heavy SRS I'm 230, with only my top abs showing and have slight love handles and my peers always ask for diet advice because they think im lean a/f (strong lol). But thats how normal people view built brahs who arent even lean when most of the country can fit in normal seats.










Remember, most people over 30 (even in 20's especially women) are so over weight and sad, that even 18-20% bodyfat will look lean and built to them. If you get to 14-16%... you will look shredded compared to the general public. SRS Remember you on a bodybuilding forum... in real life 10-12% looks borderline anorexic to 99% of the population and most women are absolutely repulsed by vascularity. SRS




Ideally just look athletic with the abs slightly showing along with adonis belt and you will fuk all the bishes SRS

He needs to lose more than that, I lost 40lbs on my bulk to cut and I was nowhere near the size of OP at peak bulk... But I can't tell what height he is.

Depends how lean is lean, and how puffy is puffy. Also on your genetic gifts regarding whether you can stay lean (or put on size) more easily; use that to your advantage to find the happy medium.

I'm 39 and have never looked better as far as acombination of size & body fat goes. I've been leaner but smaller, and also larger but puffier (similar to the Asian guy posted earlier). Now I'm in the middle and have foregone the big bulks followed by nightmarish cuts.

IMO if you're leaning a lot more toward 1 side (too small or too puffy), put some real effort in to even it out a bit and then make your goal to be able to cut back a bit and "take it easier". Once you get to that point, you'll most likely have a new foundation for "easy" effort and you'll not even blink an eye at keeping a better diet than 90% of people out there.

Honestly I'd aim to lose somewhere between 80-100lbs and I think you'll be fine. Weight slides off really easy at the start and gets progressively hard the leaner you get. So since we are about to be in may, maybe you could aim to be 200-220 before december

This is me now roughly 5 months after the above pic. I think I look better in this pic then the one with my wife, although I’m sure I had more muscle in that one. Also misfits tank for reference so you ******* know it’s me.

Anyway I don’t think I would look right trying to be a twink. So do you guys think big and puffy or trying to lean out would work better for me. Srs.

If by chance any *******s on here know me, know that you are on here too lol
you look disgusting and should be ashamed of yourself. you need to lose 75-100 pounds. only 36? you look 50+. don't worry about ever being too lean because you will never get there you like to eat too much and you don't do enough physical activity. keep it simple and don't overcomplicate it - just focus on eating less calories and doing more physical activity. you do not look healthy at all and will die young if you don't make a drastic change ASAP. make a change, brother. make a change.

There is a CHANCE that Stallone might have been at that time. His weight was very low (I don't remember exactly, but very light like 150s or something), he dieted and trained like crazy for a long time, and that's in favorable lighting (they were very strategic in the film with lighting/sweat/pump).

Considering he was in Hollywood and had trained with Franco though...

In my late 30s I went from 190 and kinda soft to 170 and very lean. I am 45 now and stay at 168-171. I would never go back to not being single digit BF, it just makes you go through your day easier.

30s crew. I've recently leaned out to the lightest I've ever been in my adult life. I'm currently at my most aesthetic looking I've ever been. I find it's much more comfortable than just being permanently in the mid teens of body fat but a bit thicker looking. I feel a lot lighter and more agile.

At this point I've been lifting consistently for over 10 years and it was time to bring her down a bit. Gotta watch out for them joints as we age, boyo.
