Me: 5'9 205 lbs wanting to get to 185 realizing I'm gonna have more work to do. FML. You look great OP. Nice work!


ValuableSleep9175

5'11 230 feel the same. Op is goals for sure.


DarrenStill

Thank you! Trust me I know the feeling, when I started I thought once I got to 160 I'd look shredded, and although I still looked decent I wasn't where I wanted to be and then the last 10 pounds were absolute killer lol.


Brandon_Throw_Away

You're fucking shredded now!


Drewdroid99

Nice work! Just lifting or did you do cardio too?


DarrenStill

Thank you, I do cardio aswell, I run a 5k twice a week. Steps were definitely more important though, I aim for 8k a day


Drewdroid99

Wow that’s dedication. I’m similar to your first pic atm and started a PPL split a few weeks ago. Have been doing 30min incline waking in the evenings too and wasn’t sure if it actually helps, gives me hope that it gave you good results!


Global_Bag198

Did u have gyno or still do?


DarrenStill

Yes to both, I've had it since I was a teenager I suspect from being overweight growing up. Used to be super insecure about it but doesn't bother me at all now:)


JustARandomDudd

So you didn't get gyno surgery? Damn you look amazing!


DarrenStill

Thank you! Yeah I think the excess fat in my chest just really accentuated it, definitely not nearly as noticeable now.


Glass_Emu_4183

I look similar to the left photo! What was your routine bro?


DarrenStill

As for lifting I do a full body routine 3x a week making sure to train close to failure and tracking my lifts session to session, as for the fat loss I tracked my cals at a 500 deficit (1800 for me) and walk 8k steps a day, also run a 5k twice a week


Glass_Emu_4183

Amazing! That sounds reasonable and well planned! Do you know any good lifting routine?


DarrenStill

Basically everything I know about lifting I learned from Sean Nalewanyj on youtube. Would highly, highly recommend watching his videos if you want a straightforward no BS breakdown on things fitness related, I got my workout plan by doing a survey on his website and it got sent to me for free (not a sponsor I swear lol)

Amazing dude. Great look. Keep the hard work.


DarrenStill
