Let the cut begin boys

Been bulking during my wife's pregnancy cause it's hella hard to cut then in my experience. Been putting a lotta focus on the legs but also I think gained some size on the arms and shoulders.

Left: Jan 2022, ~188 lb.
Middle: Aug 2022, ~175 lb.
Right: today, ~188 lb.



I also took inbody scans throughout this, they're not hella accurate but are good to track progress. I had to take the recent one mid-day after two meals, so scale weight was higher than usual as was body water. They always read a little high anyhow since I'm clothed and have had fluids at this point, but I usually do them around 11:00 fasted.



Decently satisfied with the results, now it's time for the cut! I am aiming to get to 170 or lower and actually get relatively peeled - defined abs, quad and chest veins without a pump, etc. Will be posting some periodic update pics and weights



Can I get some sick progress pics for motivation boys

Yeah the strength has been nice while bulking. Pretty sure I can hit 375 bench now. Gonna find out in a few days. Recently have hit 325x6, 335x5, 345x4, 355x3, but missed 365x2 last week.

Looking very good bro srs especially for relaxed non pump pictures

I can tell if you are willing to suffer enough and keep cutting you can end up looking very similar to this

fukkin hell, mirin hard.


I don't think I'd look that aesthetic, my legs do not have that athletic of a shape and my abs are not nearly as well built. But if I can figure out how to get that lean I'd hope the arms, chest, shoulders, and quads would look like that.


That's like significantly leaner than I've ever been though. fuark.

I think this all the time when I take these pics. But I do have a decent back imo. dunno if it's a posture thing, or what.

Yea brah

I walked away pissed off because they looked like sh!t all game and then saw that they finally woke up when the score was 28-21. They actually looked in sync in the second half. IDK if it was a scheme change or that the players were asleep the first two weeks, but they actually looked good at the end, similar to what they were last year. (Super Ded fkn Srs)

Weird, your physique looks way better from the rear. You should get better at posing, your first post is very misleading and doesn't compliment your mass. (Super Ded fkn Srs)

X-rays were negative. Not too sure if he's going to have an MRI. I'm hoping it's just a grade 1 sprain at the most. (Super Ded fkn Srs)

I mean it's just a relaxed pic in the OP. Meant to just provide updates on bf. But I do suck at posing. I practice every now and then.

some more realistic pics of the physique when I was leaner

Just trying to catch them up with the upper body.

On the inbody scan, my upper body mass is between 125-140% of 'ideal' for my height, but the legs were only about 100-105%.



That point of view is pretty flattering too, straight on they looked much less impressive

no hate but your bulk failed lmao. looked like you barely put on any muscle if you did. Middle picture looks way better but you still had a high bodyfat. You should have cut more or bulked with maintenance calories only

Why do you need to cut?

You look fuller/healthier w/ skin glow right now than your cut pic where your skin looks dry and you look too lean

See above, doesn't look like a failure to me. Body scan shows my skeletal muscle mass went up 7 lb. in a year, and 4.2 pounds in about 20 months when I was previously the same weight.


Also, bulk at maintenance calories, lol

Because body dysmorphia, even when I was at the cut weight I was uncomfortable with my physique. Didn't enjoy taking my shirt off in public. Guess that's what I get for being an obese kunt earlier in life.
