thanks a lot man!

Diet wise i started eating about 1000 calories less than mentainance and tried to keep the protein high, nothing else.

Also i hate cardio didnt do any during all this time i yust lifted hard at the gym, probably if i did some cardio i would have much better results but for me its boring as hell :ack2: so yeah nothing too complicated... 1000 less calories and hard lifting!

now the plan is to keep cutting a little more and then do a clean bulk :p
 
All that weight lost in 5 months, with no cardio at all? You make it look so easy...hahaha. Seeing a dramatic change like that in such a short time will definitely motivate people.

Congrats!
 
That's crazy! Amazing job. You definitely didn't look 45 pounds overweight in the before pics. Also considering the last 10 are the hardest to lose for you to lose that much weight in that amount of time is impressive. Any idea what your about fat is or was?

thanks!!
I really was around 210-215 at the time of the photo! I had a lot of fat on legs and bottom which you cant see in the pic, plus im 6ft2 kinda tall so yeah...

Uhm no i have no idea what my fat was or is, I never had it measured.
 
Awesome job dude! I was about to ask you where all your weight was because you didnt look all that heavy to begin with, outside of the belly and your arms. But yea for sure looking good now with that flat stomach and definition in your arms. Awesome!

I was wondering, what kind of lifting were/are you doing exactly? I'm on a beginners lifting plan at home with some free weights and dumbbells and I feel like a sissy because I'm using light weights for the most part (example: reverse barbell curls Im only using 10 lbs + whatever the bar weighs) and its killing me lol. My triceps are so tight and aching for the past couple days its almost unbearable at times and Im not sure if I should be working through the pain or not. I lift every other day... do you think maybe I should give my tri's more time to heal or? Your advice would be greatly appreciated.

thanks mate!

i'm doing a 3 day split:
1 day: chest,triceps
2 day: back, biceps
3 day: legs, shoulders, forearms
and i train my abs every other day.
generally i lift heavy with low reps (8-10), around 4 exersices for the big muscle groups(chest,back) and 2-3for the smaller ones(tricpes,biceps,etc).

first of all you shouldnt care how much you can lift or if it seems light to you and never compare how much you can lift to what someone else can, it doesnt matter at all!
As you said you are a beginner so you will lift light weights in the beginning dont worry about it, slowly you will up your weights!

If you are in pain(unless its your first time lifting) you should lift lower weights otherwise you can injure your muscles and then it will take much longer for them to recover. So yeah give them time to rest and recover!

Generally each muscle group needs 48-72 hours to recover before you train it again so if you are following a split like mine you will train each muscle once per week. Also the other days you can do some cardio+abs if you like it, its really helpful! :)
 
The reason he lost so much weight is cause he ate shit all food. 1000 calories especially for a man per day is not enought. I hope u are burning fat and not muscle.
 
You look great! Keep up the good work! :)
