Jesus christ I have been dieting for 5 months now and lost 30 pounds but still I am nowhere near having abs. I just look way smaller in clothes and feel like shit. How much longer friends? I can't handle this any more.
aside from the gay tattoo you are doing great.
Not much one can do about visceral fat past the age of 30
>>77257197So there is no hope? Might as well start boozin again
>>77257195Shouldn't have let it get that bad. Remember this horseshit after you've made it, don't lose it again.>t. 45 with same goddam problem
>>77257265Focus on longevity, not aesthetics
Is the dieting in the room with us now?
>>77257196Was gonna say the exact same.
Give me secret, undisclosed ways to burn visceral fat when past the age of 30.
>>77257195you're making great progress and as a fellow 40 year old trying to get abs i feel your pain. but look at the difference in the last two pics, it's visible af.
>>77257270Not gonna happen bro. >>77257294I thought dieting means no hard liqours.
>>77257320>Not gonna happen bro. Neither is your progress then!
>>77257195you look great. stop crying.
>>77257195You look great king. If you look closer to the far-right image you can see some ab definition, though not what you want you can see it.
>>77257336>>77257356Thank you friends. That gives me the energy to continue
>>77257197Nonsense
>>77257195>How much longer friends?Another 5 months is my guess. CICO is a harsh mistress, you shuld really stop listening to women and reddit, aka /fit/.
>>77257195You're still fat as fuck i suggest you kill yourself and stop posting your flabs
>>77257195Looking good bro. Question: how much fat have you lost and what have you noticed because of it? Like better energy, more athletic etc.Also, I know a lot of uncs trying to lose weight and always failing, so you are accomplishing something very few can do.
>>77257195You have to increase lean mass to gain abs if you don't have them at that bf%
>>77257197retard
>>77257444Damn that's a lot. I guess you always underestimate how much fat you have to lose to look remotely shredded. >>77257455No can do>>77257477Pic on left I'm about 225 lbs @ 6 ft. Currently I'm at 195 lbs. I definitely don't gass out as quickly and don't grunt as much when standing up. Also sleep has improved quite a bit. And no more snoring, acid reflux etc>>77257493It's really hard for me while cutting. When fat I can bench 315 for one rep but right now I'm really struggling to even crank out more than one rep with 2 plates
>>77257195Roiding for this
Good progress. Keep doing what youre doing and do it forever.Other than the douche canoe tattoo, you look good.
>>77257195you are way more defined in the right than the left
After losing 30 lbs you are still fatter than the fattest I have ever been in my life, when I ate absolutely anything I wanted whenever I wanted. You have a lot of work to do.
>>77257195>still fat and 40>look inside>not fatweak bait
>>77257195how did he move his tattoo to the other arm bros?
>>77257636fatass
>>77257195niggas be walking around with 30% body fat thinking "yeah i weigh 260 pounds but its mostly muscle and if i lost 15 pounds i'd have abs"many such cases!
>>77257624Having an aesthetic physique is mostly diet. There are a million strongfat powersharters because of how little effort it takes. It requires essentially zero lifestyle change. You eat McGoyslop 7 days a week like everybody else, the difference is you carve out 3 hours a week to lift.
>>77257304stop stuffing your faceholeFASTING!!!!!
>average 40 year old fat guy looks like an average 40 year old fat guy>fat /fit/ carebears claim he looks good
>>77257195you look like a powerfag that never trains abs this is me fat like you but with abs because i train them just as much as any other muscle
>>77257940He looks much better and decent.Post body or shoo, crab
>>77257998>Hairless >brown>no forearmsoof
Realistically another 20, probably 30 lbs to go
>>7725809515-20He's 40, being super shredded is not a good look at that age. People assume you are on meth or have cancer
>>77257195If anything you could be fatter.
>>77257195>>77258099/threadI have the dad bod, but the dad bod that women want when they watch movies. not the dad bod that women claim "they want".Being fat is still fat, being skinny is not attractive either. There is a magic zone somewhere though as you age where you can be like 18% and just maintain a sort of skinny beefy look though and it just makes women feel good. it makes them feel safe.You're also like relatively stronger all year round since you aren't doing drastic cuts.In winter I go up to around 20% at the height of summer I sort of go down to maybe 16%.Hand to God, the girlfriend likes it better when I'm not at or below 16%. She says I get lethargic, I start looking like a meth head like the one brother here is posting.Also it starts influencing my dick health, which as I got closer to 40 really became more sensitive.Initial weightloss from winter makes my dick as hard as a fucking teenager again and the increased sunlight/exercise also boost dick health.As summer goes on and I keep losing weight, my dick actually gets softer than when i'm a fatty in winter.It's gotta be stress/cortisol related idk, but it does happen.17-18% is just the magic number, i'm skinny, I look skinny, I can sit down and not have a big ass stomach showing, I don't have abs, but I also don't lose any muscle mass either. I also just look big still.Your woman is going to want you to be the healthiest you can look, while also being the happiest you can be.Otherwise she is a shallow whore and you aren't going to be happy either way.
why do you want abs at 40. that usually looks weird. your current physique is ideal for that is pretty much ideal.as >>77258168 said
>>77257196this and the norwood 7
Alright fellows I will try for another 10 lbs and then I report back.
There's a reason so few guys have abs at that age. You're too fat and carry too much weight to have abs. You legit need to lose another 50 lbs if you want lean abs but that will likely fuck up your face.
>>77257196KEK it looks like skid marks
>>77257195Don't listen to these weirdos here I'm 35 lifelong natty used be 276 lbs
>>77258754We're all gonna make it brother
>>77257195Imagine becoming a TRT grandpa for thisLmao
>>77257197lol
>>77257998
your deficit isant large enough. man up and do a 1000 cal deficit, stop with the pussyfooting around>but muh muh lose muscleYeah your strength and muscle will probably go down like 5% if you keep lifting regularly and eat high protein. big fucking deal
>OP calls himself fat to fish for compliments and validation (14 yo female behavior btw)>Gets called fat and ugly>OP and other old farts start seething in every replyYou're obese OP.
>>77259121>1000 cal deficitYou dont find your weight boomerangs back up after such a steep deficit?
>>77259123I don't suppose there's any chance you will ever post body
>>77257940he looks better than he did six months ago
>>77259188Whatever i look like, i cant do worse than your skinnyfat self
>>77257195>How much longer friends?Depends on how much longer you continue to overeat and eat like shit.
>>77257195do your cardio and ab work outs. if you want abs its easier to get smaller and lean and then clean bulk.
>>77258893no we won't
>>77259267I'm not Op.You don't lift, why are you here? You know you are a worthless piece of shit, right?
>>77259311OP here. I thought cardio killed gainz. What happened here.
You need negative calories to get abs don't bother
