ETMI thread: Estimated Time of Making It

Started at 125lbs Auschwitz mode, so eating is new to me. But this is post 16 week cut, about to resume permabulk

More like 1 serious year, 1 bullshit lift whenever eat whatever year, then 8 serious months, 3-4 of which were spent cutting off the fat I put on the previous year. My starting weight was almost definitely lower than yours.

Face is top tier desu, which is why it took me until age 23 to take lifting seriously. Never had an issue getting girls so why bother? But got sick of being told to eat a cheeseburger, and sick of subtly being treated like a kid at work, which isn't the case anymore.

Just cut ~15lbs of fat from a shitty off year last year so lots of levels are low. Expecting a decent rebound when bulk resumes soon. Wanted to get down to single digit bf% first for shits and giggles

Less than 2 years till making it friend, wrap that cut up and clean bulk till D-Day, then final cut to drive the bitches wild

Already made it but cut for 10 weeks to eliminate wateriness. You're past the point of what normies think is maxed, appearance-wise. After that you're only impressing yourself and other dudes.

There's no way you are 70 kg. you are at least 78+ kg (170lbs). I'm the same height and I have literally the same body and I weight 80kg (176lbs).

82kg 172 cm or 5'8

maybe 1,5 year and a cut

how did you turn white?

Don't believe calculators m8, just go for what looks right. I'd say cut about 3%-5% more body fat, until you can see veins on your lower stomach. That should put you somewhere between 8-11% body fat, which is "ripped" to 98% of people. After that, lean bulk at 200-300 excess calories a day indefinitely until you get back to this amount of body fat, then do another cut to 8-11%, rinse, repeat. Where you decide to stop and maintain is your personal preference and completely depends on the visual, not the number. For example this guy:

thinks there's no way that I'm 153lbs., but that's what the scale said this morning when I woke up dry. That's due to a lot of things being at the very end of a cut, but the point is the number on the scale isn't that important for your visual appearance. Go for the look you want, fuck the numbers

haha manlet

In 16 weeks you will be in made it territory if you go on a strict 500 calorie deficit per day cut, lift heavy, and get your nutrient timing right (85% of your carbs before and after your workout, 15% for breakfast, 5% residual from your fat and protein sources throughout all other hours of the day.) Just cut properly and don't make excuses. Chicken, broccoli, sweet potatoes, olive oil, measured out, tracked in MyFitnessPal. Get started and we'll see you in Made It mode in 16 weeks.

I'd also like to remind everyone that 175 lbs at 16% body fat looks worse than 153 pounds at 10% body fat to every normal person

Bruh you're like 18-20% body fat. You need to cut for 3-4 months before continuing a bulk. When your body is higher than 15% bf your muscle gains are severely blunted due to ruined insulin response. Cut, now.

ETA to made it: 1.5 years lean bulk plus 4 month cut starting now.

Cut before continuing bulking.

You too. You're at least 18% body fat. You're wasting your time bulking currently. Go on a strict 500 calorie a day deficit that you track with MyFitnessPal, measure out and eat only complex carbs (get all your carbs from sweet potato, lentils, oats), and lift heavy for 16 weeks. You'll be 60% closer to made it when you're done.

All of y'all fatties over 15% body fat need to do this and find how much you need to eat to be on a 500 calorie a day deficit;

Cut 5% body fat then continue lean bulk for 1 year. Needs more chest.

1.5 years if you eat and lift correctly

So far I haven't seen anyone post anything good. Just a bunch of twinks with no bodyfat thinking it means they made it. or fat fucks thinking they're big.

Finally dropped out of obesity into skinnyfat mode. 20 more lbs and I can starts SS+GOMAD. How long until I get from "never lifted anything ever" to "sick cunt"?

Cutting for the first time after bloating for a year and a half, it’s way easier than expected.
This cut is a trial run anyway that leaves me with time to bulk and cut again before I go to America in August.

How ripped do I have to be to pull sloots there?

Once you get past a certain point it's about just dressing adequately and talking to girls.

SOMEONE STOP THIS MAN

dude ur a legend

Shit i forgot to blur my little dick my bad.

your dick would be longer if you lost all that pubic fat

holy shit what a madman

MOOODS

>Advice?
Try one of them meat slicers from the local deli.

You can keep cutting, yeah.

What the hell is wrong with your crotch, are your balls above your dick, lol

Stop being chuckle fucks. I need some advice. Cut or bulk? Given my numbers I'm concerned that maybe I should just bulk and then shred the fuck out. Idk. I feel weak.

How about just lift you fucking retard. 6 months of lifting is literally DYEL

hot

well since u got abs already no point cutting

Cut, obviously. You're well above 15% bf still.

Ayyy same, do a quick cut down to 10% bf then continue bulking. You'll be glad you did.

Stop being a faggot, lift some weights, go on a strict 500 calorie deficit EVERY SINGLE FUCKING DAY NO EXCUSES, only eat chicken sweet potatoes broccoli olive oil, track it in MyFitnessPal, and lose all of that jiggly unattractive fat boy blubber, you fucking pork sausage

Keep cutting, lift heavy, SS is a meme. Don't stop cutting till you're at 10% body fat, stick to compound lifts, and push yourself. No excuses.

I don't think you were looking at the same image I was, user.

It was a joke desu

>SS is a meme
t. dyel. SS (by the book) is the fastest way to get your lifts up in your first 3-4 months of training

The reason why you feel weak is probably because you are right now. That's okay if that's your starting point.

Cut or bulk, it's up to you, it depends on rather you want to be stronger or lose the extra pounds first. I would bulk, since it sounds like you don't have so much experience tweaking your diet, and bulking is harder to mess up.

I think 3 months of hard cutting you’ll be joocy af

Post body

I'm familiar with dieting. I was at 200lbs a while ago. I want to be there again. So if I cut, could I get to 200, and then slowly eat above my deficit and see strength gains? I'd prefer to lose the weight fast so long as I dont have to become a fat fuck again to get stronger.

Attached: 4 month comparison 185-200.jpg (1190x1592, 321K)

Lift way harder than you're currently lifting and keep the cut at 500 calories deficit daily - no more, no less. Eat a shit ton of protein. Need at least a year of lifting well from this point to get anywhere notable.

.......as stated before, Starting Strength is a meme. lmao

You look good user

Proof that SS is not a meme.
Good job user.

>So if I cut, could I get to 200, and then slowly eat above my deficit and see strength gains?
Yeah, pretty much

One thing to note, there is some research that suggests cuts over really long time frames are not so effective. So if you've been going for 6+ months, maybe think about bulking for a couple months before going back in a cut.

it might be a meme to someone who only hangs out on fit 12 hours every day and doesn't do much else with their life...

but its actually a lifting program that uses linear progressive overload and frequent lifting in the correct rep ranges to make progress as a beginner lifter.

its pretty simple, if you do the lifts, and you keep adding weight - you get stronger. why does a beginner program need to be more complicated than that?

but yeah, it is a meme - as well as being a training program.

how big are arms?

>says a strength program is a meme
>asks for body pic
Here you go brainlet. Ask me how I know you're a DYEL?
Btw this is 1 year of training. I lift for strength only.

congrats user

what is max overhead press? and rough 5 rep max?

wut do you do for lats?

i'll kick your ass and steal your girl, bitch!

Max I've singled OHP is 70kg (didn't get this on first attempt after I'd maxxed bench, had to get it at start of my next gym session). I've always trained with a very close grip though.

Yeah, I've got very lucky delt genetics as far as I can tell. My arms also lean out long before every other part of my body, which is kinda good seeing as theyre the most visible part of me.

Yes, the timestamp of my photos gives that away. Sending them to my computer via telegram.

Weighted pull-ups 3x5+ and then two BW sets of about 10+

Recently switched to chin-ups though because my biceps are smaller than I want them to be

Currently doing +32kg 4x3 followed up by +10kg 10x2 nice and slow

Also do heavy DB rows after, sets of5 reps

How much caloric deficit?

Should read 2 (sets) x10 reps
