I’d decided today not to take any photos… but I haven’t stuck to it 😅🫠

Slowly working back up after a back injury.

First two pictures from june 2025(I was 321lbs) third picture is from December 2025(I was 287lbs) last 3 pictures are from last week, I am 6'4 and 26 y/0 and currently weight 258lbs

I have not been to the gym in 9 years but I want to get back at it and drop down to 225lbs so see where I will be at and decide what to do from there.

I am currently employed as a flat roofer and have been for the last 2 years, all I've done was tracking calorie for a few months and making better decisions when it came to what I eat and drink, although being such a big person and working an extreamly physically demanding job definitely helps me by giving me an extreamly high calorie output, ive been stuck at 258lbs for at least a month or 2 now but have also been doing alot o.f new construction so no dirty and physically demanding rip.

The same shirt in both pictures was not intentional. When I got that shirt it didn't fit me and was extreamly tight on me so thats how far I've came in the 2 years ive been flat roofing.

M27. What yall think my BF% is? When is the best moment to start a bulk?

Just want to get back to 200kg.

Hello all. New to lifting here. Just wanted to show my “transformation” so far, if you want to call it that lol. Just for a little background, I had a kidney stone earlier this year, and went through a rough breakup recently, and got down to my lowest weight in years. My day one pics are when I was down to 113 lbs. yikes. The day one pics were taken August 31st. I finally decided it was a time for a change. And decided to work on me for once. I currently am up about 25 or so lbs (which I understand a lot is water and glycogen etc) and I have became addicted to lifting. this progress to due to gainer shakes. And just straight up milk lol. I am in a caloric surplus, about 300 cals give or take. And am hitting about 140-150g protein per day. Pretty proud so far. Sky’s the limit now. Any recommendations where I can improve, prevent injuries etc? Thanks for the time

This before is actually after a year trying to lose weight… I was 295~ at my heaviest and in pic one I was 260.

Had a bit over 12 months off squats and deadlifts. Happy to be back here.

Today’s workout was all about legs—quads, hamstrings, and glutes!

50 minutes

5 exc de 3 sets x 12

First picture in red trousers was taken in August, other is current time

Started with just not wanting to have a heart attack or stroke…. Still see a fat hog when I look in the mirror though 🤷🏻

Aiming for 400 bench before I hit 45 …
Do most ppl find doing heavy sets for lower reps heavier weight is better for bench or just crush like 50% to failure ?

Three years and some tattoos later :3

Moderate calorie deficit for 6 months, focused on 1g protein per lb body weight

this is was the routine i had and kept it consistent even on days i was lazy and felt like a BUM

Split:
- back and bis
- chest, tri, delts
- glutes and hams
- full leg day
- rest / cardio

Every day:
- cable crunch until failure, 2 sets
- 2 sets plank until failure
- hip mobility and stretching
- 10k steps OR 30 min incline walk
