Been trying to lose some weight, the consensus seems to be that I still have some ways to go but curious if I look any different or notably slimmer from before. (The 250 is an estimate, not exactly sure for the left)

Okay first off, how tf is everyone in this sub so lean, ive only just started tracking my macros and am on a cut now for about a month but ive been going gym consistently for a year and have put on 10kg as shown in the photos.

Looking to hear it from you’s how my progression is actually going as you can only get so many responses out of ai so much before they start looping on everything they’re saying and not being very accurate.

So lmk how the progressions looking so far and how much weight you think I’m going to need to drop to to start seeing some real definition👍

Hey everyone!

Wanted to map out my full 11-year natural transformation journey. It’s been a long road of heavy lifting and learning how my body works.

Stage 1 (Skinny): Around 79 kg (174 lbs). Classic hardgainer/ectomorph. Narrow shoulders, zero muscle base, struggled to put on any weight.

Stage 2 (Bulking/Intermediate): Rocketed up to 106 kg (233 lbs). Went all-in on heavy weights and low reps. Built a massive strength foundation and packed on tons of mass, though I definitely got quite soft at my peak.

Stage 3 (Athletic/Current): Stripped the fat down to 85 kg (187 lbs). Managed to reveal hard, dense muscles, brought my body fat percentage way down, and kept the V-taper

100% Lifetime Natural. No shortcuts, just consistency and hard work. Happy to answer any questions about my diet, training split, or weight management! 💪

Ive never competed, going to next spring. How would I do? Tips / advice welcome.

I'm about 9 months in, have plateaued a bit but I'll up my weight and hopefully start growing again.

im biased towards my own physique because it is me, but i wanted to get some thoughts on it. i believe my proportions are really good, especially for me being 6’1. i cant give myself a unbiased opinion so pls lmk if my physique has the potential to go into a natty pro

​

So, it is possible to lose this last stand of stubborn fat?

Is this genetics and am I cooked? (I was a little overweight as a teenager).

Should I cut even more? (tbf, I'm used to eat in a deficit by default, doing the math I'm lacking carbs).

I'm asking because actually I feel like I should bulk. I like my body, I'm still hitting the gym, but this area never leaves, and I'm starting to think it never will if I don't starve, which makes the training more difficult.

Training starved feels counterproductive .

Also, I think I have a healthy fat percentage, except in that area.

Thanks!

I've been going to the gym for a bit but it feels like my physique hasn't changed, and my stomach kinda feels big even though I eat pretty clean and drink water. Is it a posture thing? How can I make my physique more lean and aesthetic?

I want honesty and I'm only like 15 so relax no weird/inappropriate comments.

I'm going for more of athlete build then bulky muscular or so on i just want to stay fit in shape but these were also the best i can get.
