bruhhh you changed aaa looottt. Nice work

Chadster113 · 2019-03-04T20:18:31+00:00

Decide between shorts and pants. There is no “inbetween”

mrpthrowa · 2019-03-04T20:14:37+00:00

You’re great, at your level look into some professional advice...

Good work

Emphasize your lats and shoulders to look wider and wear clothes that fit your form better.

SuperCrazy07 · 2019-03-04T20:35:59+00:00

Your current pic is the best. The fat pic and the scrawny pic not so much.

uwotm891 · 2019-03-04T22:50:38+00:00

Good progress mang. Add in heavy compound lifts e.g. squats, deadlifts and farmers walks. Your routine looks a little bland. Other than that, keep eating at a surplus my man. No need to cut when you’re 160lbs at a decent bf%.

FYI, upright row targets delts and traps, and you have it thrown in on your back day. Maybe you mean bent over rows?

erzakai · 2019-03-04T22:53:30+00:00

in the first pic you look like my dad 10 yrs ago

AstuteBlackMan · 2019-03-05T01:12:17+00:00

Damn bro good shit. You looked goofy as shit in your first pic. This motivation for me. I lost like 23 lbs on keto so far. Got about a good 30 or so to go for my personal goal

haxewep24 · 2019-03-04T22:31:24+00:00

Good work man! But ditch those shorts

civilizedfrog · 2019-03-05T01:10:15+00:00

An abomination resulting from incest between pants and shorts. Ditch that.

If you're doing the same routine and feel you've plateaued then you most likely need to switch up what you're doing. It also depends on your goals. There are natural limits to body building, so if you're grasping for an unattainable physique without using steroids then there is nothing that can be done. Not saying you've reached that yet but if you're wanting to be the next Arnold it might be time to hop on the Tren Train.

You look good man, just continue to eat a lot of clean calories for bulking and when you cut, eat the same foods in less quantity. If you just want to be shredded then lots of cardio and little calories is a must. Also HIIT (High intensity interval training) is a great way to shock your body and burn some fat.

There are hundreds of thousands of articles and forum posts about diet so I'm not going to get into it here, but diet is key.

Project_Zero_Betas · 2019-03-04T23:00:26+00:00

Do a P/P/L 2x week with minimal cardio. Super drop set your main lifts (Bench/Pendlay Rows/Deadlifts/Squats). Make sure you do 1.5x pull reps for every push rep (i.e. 5x5 PR, 3x4 BP). Super drop sets always get me through a plateau.

rockyp32 · 2019-03-05T00:11:41+00:00

I would reccomend only working out 5 days max unless you’ve been doing it for a very long time. I do 3 days a week and just compound lifts, deadlifts, bench, overhead press, and pullups. Either way your looking good dude

Chad1738 · 2019-03-05T01:06:48+00:00

Good job. This should be on the sidebar as to why you lift.

fds_1 · 2019-03-05T01:08:27+00:00

Damn son you improved, a lot. I think we men don't hear this enough when it comes to self improvement or anything in life in general because it's kinda expected from us but, I don't know you and you don't know me but I want you to know that I'm proud of you. Keep improving yourself and remember, bitches ain't shit but hoes and tricks!

AstuteBlackMan · 2019-03-05T01:14:01+00:00

Also you seem to hit one body part each week. I think twice per week is good if you're trying to get a bit more definition. but honestly you're fine in my eyes

RockNRollMachine33 · 2019-03-05T01:21:49+00:00

Try to increase the frequency at which you hit every muscle group, while reducing the amounts of sets involved per muscle group. I personally hit my whole body 6 days a week, but with only 2-3 sets per bodypart per workout. Works like a charm since you get a steady growth response in your muscle instead of being a once a week growth response in a body split like yours.

Trip-trader · 2019-03-05T01:29:40+00:00

Good shit bro your looking great now, too marks on your progress.

I just started lifting on week 6 now and loving it. Bodybuilding.com has some really great detailed routines btw, if you want to try something to help break a Plateau.

coloredzebra · 2019-03-05T01:55:49+00:00

IMO you're in a great position to lean bulk/bulk right now. If you notice more prominent fat gains, up the cardio, or adjust your macros/diet.

If you were to hop on any BB (bodybuilding) focused program, or any of (531, PPL, PHUL, Madcow, 5x5) you would be looking juicy as fuck.

Lots of potential here, just depends on what your goals are.

TSM_Bjergson · 2019-03-05T03:13:56+00:00

Unreal transformation bro. Looks like you're in an ideal spot to grow. Slightly up the carbs and back off the cardio week by week. Don't add more calories than you need to, small increments at a time. It's mostly carbs that you'll be adding in a growth phase. Keep protein around 1lb per lb of body weight. 0.5g of healthy fats per lb of body weight is a good general guideline for growing. The rest of your calories will be carbs.

Competitive bodybuilder here. TRP has given me so much and I'd love to help you or anyone else. Feel free to DM me if you have any more specific questions.

Slut_Slayer9000 · 2019-03-05T16:43:20+00:00

I would continue maintaining since spring and summer is around the corner (keep the 6 pack for pool days). Then around fall - winter start bulking, then cut again spring/summer. If you looked like that @ 180+lbs you'd be getting into yoked territory. Also if I were to suggest anything different to training, I would try to hit body parts twice a week and do high volume to help with muscle growth.

CahiersDuVidya · 2019-03-05T16:49:12+00:00

Was going to lay into you for no squats of dead lifts but holy hell man, great progress!

rugged79 · 2019-03-04T20:33:16+00:00

Jumping push-ups, pullups/dips with chains/plates. Supersets with high rep, low weight, and spotter. You want to sweat even more and be even more exausted after a set. Also, you want to get as much blood flowing to you muscles as possible.

I could be wrong here. But those are some of the exercises I use.

wobbleelbbow · 2019-03-05T06:36:52+00:00

Your routine is a mess. Even professional body builders do not do so many bullshit exercises. Master big 5 and include 1-2 arm work exercises and it will be enough. Jesus Christ. What a frickin mess.. it looks like a girls bedroom but not proper routine.
