Ok....Long story short, last year I dropped from 255 to 167lbs. I stopped losing weight when I came home from college and my mother started crying because my face was thin, and it was, because u dont always lose your gut first. Im 6ft tall male, at least a mediumlarge frame, but after all that it left me weak. I started lifting on machines but I didnt see much results.
For the past 20 weeks or so Ive lifted free weights. I now weigh 176 but I havent gone up a ton. I originally could not bench 35s on each side at all, now I do 10x30s 8x35s 6x40s and 4x45, (or 135lbs) my 4x45s are really hard and if i do them slowly i wouldnt even make 4. The problem with things is, Ive been off cardio for a while now, and Im scared to death of the weight Ive gained. I know its some strength but theirs fat in there too.
The fat is prominent because of my loose skin. Im 21 and I have loose skin mostly on my stomach and legs. I thought gaining some muscle then cutting the fat would clear things up, but Ive come to realize size doesnt come all that fast.
MY question is, would it be a mistake for me to spend 10 or so weeks cutting. Im going on my first vacation since I was a kid to hawaii. I dont really know what to do..... I want to be able to walk around without my shirt on and not have people stare.
I attatched pictures of 167 and 176 and you guys can tell me what u think. Dont worry im not sensitive to comments, so say what you really think.
What would make me consmetically look better for me to do for spring quarter?
