Just train WITH us. Not ME train you. Got difference. Being in the same location, doin the same things

Yeah, training someone new is really time consuming and you'll lose focus. A 1 hour training session can turn into a 2 hour session because you are spending half of the time talking to the newb.

Hi, 1st time to be at this thread.

I remember when I was the heaviest, I'm 110kg.  blink.gif
Then, I joined gym (for fun, at that time).

Later, got the semangat to lose some weights. I took 3in1 coffee + 4 or 5 scoops of Quaker's Oat every morning. And i skipped lunch, use up my lunch time to go to the gym. (People eat, I gym.) For dinner, I took in a bit more rice, to avoid myself from get hungry at late night for supper. Then, at the same time lots of my not-so-pro (but still more experienced than me lah) friend taught me. Here a bit there a bit.

Till recent few months, when i visit gym, i will first jog for full 20mins (with 1 or 2 rest in between).
Then, i do: Dumbbell Bench Press + Dumbell Shoulder Press + Barbell Curl + Preacher Curl + Pumping + Others (What crap also do).
Sequence sometimes not same lah. If got strength, will do all. Sometimes too tired, cant finish all.
Each exercise do 3 sets, 1 set 8-12 times.

The best weight I achieved was about 93kg. I took me about a year. Now, cuz stop gym for 1 month already. I still do some simple training at home. Eg: Dumbell Shoulder Press + Pumping + Sit up etc. But still gained back a little weight, back to 95kg.  shocking.gif  Waddefark?

Want to ask, if I look my side from the mirror, i definitely look not-so-thick (as in big tummy) anymore. But from front, I can't see my waist getting smaller. May be not noticeable lah. I tried to add in Dumbbell Side Bend into my training. May be I'm impatient. But, i don't any noticeable improvement.  rclxub.gif

Any advice or any training to recommend?
*
Only 2 meals a day? It's not shocking that you're not seeing any changes. You think you're doing good by skipping lunch to go to the gym, but you're actually helping your body to store more fat.

Like what others said, 6 meals a day, but small portions in each meal.

3 scoops of oatmeal and 1 egg for breakfast = 1 meal,
morning snack, 1 banana = 1 meal,
lunch, rice with lean chicken breast = 1 meal,
preworkout, 1 apple = 1 meal,
post workout, 1 scoop whey protein shake = 1 meal,
dinner, fish + veg = 1 meal
supper, 1 glass of non fat milk = 1 meal.

There, 7 meals a day, that will keep you metabolism high. You might want to reduce a bit or change the food in a meal to something else. You should cut down the rice and sauce.

Food on a plate in front of you doesn't mean you have to eat all of them.

I don't mean to discourage you, but by looking at your pics, I don't understand why are you taking fat burners when you don't have any mass at all...

Swimmers remind me of Michael Phelps, maybe he has a chest and visible abs, but his long torso and lack of lats, not so nice.

Anyway, some random pic after shower at 80kg. Constipated face tho lol
We have a new god here!

What you eat everyday la? Lean gila.

Dunno why it's like that. There's nothing under my nipples but it's popping out like it's ready to breastfeed some infant. Anyone here has it too?

Haha... my arms only 14.5-14.75 inches only. Lacking on the triceps seriously... But now pumping lats and quads a lot cuz uni has barbell.

My diet sucks but I try to at least take 20g of protein every meal, so 6 meals a day. But has a lot of carbs, so naturally low bodyfat I guess. When I reach 85-90 I'll start cutting. Don't wanna be a perma bulker lol. But I hate giving up my gravyful food.

You sure your diet suck or not? You got 6 packs, striations and veins running through your arms like the tree roots in Angkor Wat. I'm sure you do some hardcore cardio and carb cycling.

Wooahh big guys.
But florian, besides the nipples  tongue.gif , where's the abs?
I was thinking that everything should develop proportionately?

Serious question, is it normal to develop like that and I have no idea or i am right and it's slightly disproportionate?
*
My abs are under that thick layer of fat. My diet is really high cal and high fat. What to do, no stove here, everyday eat out with economy rice. All my friends are skinny want to be big but don't want to be muscular, so they all want to go KFC, McD. So I have to follow them la. But at least for now I'm not going to competition/going out half naked so look big ok liao, but then haha I don't have abs. But no abs, no ah moi.

So leh, it's true they say what you eat today is what your body is tomorrow.

Even if you're on roids, you still need to eat a lot to build those muscles.

I was contemplating on whether to post pics of myself or not. I saw another thread where one of the guys here posted a pic of a guy with a guitar and calling him small/skinny, but to me he looked fit  blink.gif . So before the pics, a little disclaimer: I know I'm small, but I would want to get to the point where I'm fit looking. biggrin.gif.

I've always been a skinny kid throughout my life. It wasn't a problem for me, as I was really active during high school (could run and play basketball quite well) despite me being skinny. I've always have friends, relatives, and people whom I've just met commenting on my skinniness, but I didn't really bother about it. It was only after I started uni that I started to get lazy, and laid off physical activity with plenty of boozing and other college kid activities which were unhealthy. It was then that I started developing a beer gut, and felt that I needed to change.

I started 3 months back, with the first 2 months being really lazy workouts. Sometimes once or twice a week only, because there always seem to be other distractions. I ate a lot of junk food too throughout this period. My tummy grew bigger instead of smaller (due to my body type, it seems like fats only accumulate in that area, while other places remain stick thin).

I only started getting into this seriously a month back. I took proper pre/post workout diet, read up about proper ways to work out, and read about proper diet. I do occasionally still eat junk food (maybe once a week), but as a whole, I've maintained a pretty good diet. I'm sure there's much improvement that could be made with it, but I do whatever I can throughout the day to eat properly. On normal days, I manage 4 meals. If there are morning classes, I manage 5 meals.

So here are the pics:

I don't really know how to flex lol. In the recent pics, I'm 2 1/2 weeks into creatine. I didn't load, because the first time I took in 5g + 5g, I didn't feel too good. I stick to 5g/day. Hope to be improving in the months to come smile.gif.

edit: The nearest gym for me is 20 mins away. By the time I get there, 30 mins is already gone. The biggest factor for me to not go to one is that its kinda expensive sad.gif. I only work with a bench, barbell and 2 dumb bells at home. And there's a beautiful lake here for my cardio biggrin.gif. Exercises kinda limited compared to the gym, though.

Once upon a time, I was a twig too. Not bad for your first 3 months! At least you are not bragging about how much you can lift on bicep curls and it seems that you've been doing your homework. Keep it up!

When someone comments on wanting to nibble your nipples, you know its about time to cut. Lol. I'm still planning to bulk till around 85-90kg then only cut.

That means cut the carb and fat, but more meat? No rice? Mana boleh?

But then I saw some hardcore guys in the gym also got nipples popping out even more sharper than mine. They are leaner than me with the striations on the deltoid visible.

Maybe it's genetics.

K guys, which formula do you guys actually use for bodyfat count? or is there some sort of universally accepted one?
Been googling and seems that there are quite a few different methods.

We use the M1rR0R formula. For example, John91 is god, mine is obese with erectile nipples.
