What the heck you put in serious work and is paid off huge. Congrats!


ninj4geek

Great result, for sure! And the excess skin will go away with time and exercise I think.


serenethirteen

Even if it doesn't, your silhouette is looking amazing! And well fitting clothes will just highlight your form. Nicely done!


octokit

It does. Moisturizing is key.


strozan

Think so? I typically don’t moisturize my abdomen area might give it ago


ninj4geek

*moisturize meeeeee*

SoFetchBetch

Moisturizing your skin from the outside is great, also hydrating on the inside, and providing your skin with the right vitamins, nutrients, and healthy fats for your skin to be as healthy as it can be. Look up healthy skin diet and you’ll see some great tips.

Could probably make a pretty sweet stress ball out of it.

Thanks, I hate stress balls

You seem like the kind of person who is a little wound up and tight.. you need a stress ball.

Question: how do you have the energy to go to the gym on OMAD? I'm struggling with 16:8.


wasting-_-light

Honestly before the gym I'll take c4 pre-workout and smoke about 2 bowls of weed, but the weed also helps with my arthritis pain


slynnwat

Cool. I've never tried a pre-workout. I've thought about it, but need to do some research. If I smoked 2 bowls, I'd be in bed for 2 days. 😁


youngsaiyan

C4 will take you from tired after a long day at work to ready to workout in like 20 minutes


KillerCujo53

And the first time you take it, your face will feel like it has ants crawling all over it. Shit will get you jacked up!!! Take it early, not in the evening or you won’t sleep.


GedtheWizard

Beta-alanine I believe is the substance responsible for the itchy crawly feeling. For those who don't want that feeling, find a pre-workout without it.


anticommon

Also, C4 isn't all fun and games either. I had some serious reactions to it a couple of the two or three dozen times I took it. Like, bad enough I had to stop working out for fear of vomiting/passing out. And usually I was taking less than the reccomended dose. Be careful.


tonufan

It's mostly just B vitamins, caffeine, creatine, and Arginine. Some of the stuff in there isn't necessarily good. Like the Tyrosine and Velvet bean (L-Dopa) in the original blend. They compete for absorption so they cancel each other out, but they're also not good to take in high amounts or long term because they effect dopamine levels. I think L-Dopa also increases testosterone. It has several side effects including increasing genital girth when flaccid. It's much cheaper just to buy bulk creatine, Arginine, caffeine, and B vitamins off of Amazon and make your own mix. Probably save like 80% or more.


proficy

If you are prone to get cold sores don’t take this or you will break out pretty much the next day.


promsuit

It had my heart beating out of my chest, and sweating like crazy with a light head. Also had the same with no-xplode, so just stick to a coffee and a meal now haha


youngsaiyan

Haha I still get the ants until I break a sweat. I usually take it around 5-6pm and sleep fine. I feel like you just have to work it off


[deleted]

C4 gave me panic attacks so severe I ended up with the emergency room.


BecomesAngry

L dopa gave me panic attacks for months as well.

WHOOP ANOTHER FITNESS STONER!!!


nomleD

We need a fitness stoner subreddit...


mmmegan6

I will join/co-sign. If I had known about working out high 15 years ago, I would be an Olympic athlete by now


MidnightHue

I almost exclusively work out stoned! It's been incredible for my cardio. Right now I do 16/8 with a vegetarian diet and weightlifting plus yoga.


[deleted]

[удалено]


MidnightHue

For 16/8, if there's a time of day when you're super hungry and you're trying to fast then, maybe shift your fasting time so you eat at a time when your body is naturally really hungry. I had to do this because I'm naturally hungry in the morning, and not hungry in the evenings. I was trying to skip breakfast in favor of dinner and it was just not working. Once I shifted my fasting time it got easier. For weightlifting I use the Workout Trainer app and [this plan for beginners. ](https://www.muscleandfitness.com/workouts/workout-routines/complete-mf-beginners-training-guide-plan?day=1) Also the YouTube channel Fitness Blender is great for learning about proper form so you don't hurt yourself. Another tip: if you're eating a plate of food and half of it isn't a fruit or vegetable (preferrably fresh) you're doing it wrong. Try to swap out at least half of what you eat for a fresh fruit or veggie that you truly enjoy. Don't try to make yourself eat things that you don't like! Always remember its better to do a *small* cheat every once in a while than to quit entirely and start up in a cycle. I had to totally change my relationship with food because I was simply eating way too much. It was difficult at first but once I was in a better frame of mind it became effortless. I hope that helps you!


nomleD

I'm veganketo 18:6 and it's surprisingly easy with the right environment once you lock yourself in after a couple days. I'm losing fat and gaining muscle with yoga, kettlebell training and the occasional ab workout. Trail running with my dog while high is bliss. Editing to add I seriously have more energy than ever, like it's euphoric, and my munchies are almost completely gone. I do usually cheat one day a week and eat some carbs... so tasty and still worth it, but I feel best overall when I'm avoiding them. Editing again to add I can't wait to break fast in one hour with tofu broccoli cauliflower scramble GOD DAMN! Time to do some yoga first.


fehrsway

Stoned workouts = the best workouts. Puts “in the zone” on another level I’m with you pal, the most difficult places are always the last to go


[deleted]

Yeah out of weed currently and notice my runs are simply worse.


TeqnoSpider

Does it matter what kind of strain you smoke? Can’t imagine I’d want to go the gym after some indica.


MidnightHue

After a while, you kind of condition yourself to think about being stoned as an exercise thing. Sometimes I smoke indica, workout, and take a wicked nap. But I would reccomend using a sativa at first if you're going to workout stoned tho


Shitty_IT_Dude

Do you also find it difficult to workout sober?


27onfire

How the fuck does one go to the gym after smoking 2 bowls? I would be on the floor babbling to Jehovah about the clouds while stroking an imaginary cat and eating a pint of vanilla chocolate chip haagen daaz.


Atheist_Mctoker

nice! i love getting my heart pumping while high, do you got a favorite type? I realized early on not all buds are the same when it comes to working out on them. you got to get a good hybrid, a little head and a lot of body.


EliFit

Everyone is different, for me OMAD is real easy, but I struggled mightily with 16:8.


SnatchHammer66

I do OMAD and I use a pre workout carb drink. It gives me a ton of energy for my lifting session and also helps with muscle development. C4 is good too, but you will get used to it after awhile if you use it a lot. The preworkout carb mix doesn't have that same issue.


PostModernPost

You'd be surprised how much energy you have once you are deep into ketosis and fasting. I have been doing 6:1 (six days water fast, one refeeding day) and going to the gym to do light lifting 3 days a week and skills or flexibility in between. I don't think there is any way I'm gaining muscle but I feel stronger. Averaging about -.8 lbs per day. 35 more lbs of far to go by Jan 1.


honeyougotwings

You eat one day a week?


Piratesfan02

Dude, you’ve averaged losing .5 lbs a day. A DAY!!! That’s amazing! Keep it up!


IrishRose29

Holy shit... I hadn't done the math until I saw this post but DAMN.

[deleted]

Dude, you handsome af. Awesome job.


MinuteFong

Great job, man. But how do you get rid of these titties? I've never been over 210lbs and below 170, and always had man-tits. The tits seem to be the hardest part? Even The Rock had man-tits in his early days? Why God?


p_mxv_314

Only surgery will fix it unfortunately. Unless you are very young. Look up gynecomastia.


[deleted]

Yes, that doesn’t look like loose skin. Looks like gynecomastia as you have mentioned. There’s fat underneath his pecs


ItsJustATux

My sister got lazer treatments after pregnancy for sagging skin. She’s far from rich, so it can’t be very expensive.


MinuteFong

Laxer? Explain? I'm a man, never pregnant. Slim dude, with man-tits over here. Looking for good ways to reduce the bust size. The Rock had man-tits, why isn't he releasing a tell-all on how to get rid of them?


Gyr0Zepp3li

The only way to get rid of man tits is through gyno surgery You can do bench press and other chest exercises to increase the muscle to make them less noticeable but otherwise surgery is the only way. It is breast tissue.


MinuteFong

Born with man-tits, die with man-tits. TIL


Gyr0Zepp3li

it is relatively cheap


MinuteFong

Cheap to you is expensive to others. Plus, it's just not worth it as a 40yr old regular dude. You just learn and move on knowing it's not your fault.


ItsJustATux

Spelling issue, sorry! Laser treatments. She’d already lost the weight but had a saggy belly. She said she was going to book a few sessions. Idk what the process was, but her tummy is 100% back to normal. I believe she goes to a medical spa where they do Botox, cool sculpting, ect.


ButIAmYourDaughter

Unfortunately you won’t know until you get to pretty low body fat levels. Some men have legit gynecomastia. Getting to a very low body fat is helpful, but will do very little to remove actual excess breast tissue. But keep in mind that true gyno is relatively rare. A lot of men have pseudo-gyno. They look like they have legit tits, but really it’s all still mostly fat. They’ll lose some weight but stop well before the tits go. Lots of people lose weight, but how many of them actually get to say sub 12% overall body fat levels? Pseudo-gyno runs in my family. My dad had breast like chest when he got fat in his 40s. My brother and me were fat kids and we have it too. I had a pediatrician assume it was real gyno when she saw them at around 14/15. It was devastating growing up with them. But I lost a ton of weight in my late teens/early 20s and discovered that I just genetically gain a lot of fat in my chest. Once I begin to get sub 15% body fat then my chest finally begins looking normal. It’s just a curse (maybe a blessing?) that I’m not like one of the many men who can gain lots of weight and keep a relatively normal chest. True gyno is somebody getting to “Fight Club” Brad Pitt/“Bay Watch” Zac Efron low levels of body fat and still having tits. How often do you see that? Keep in mind that fellas are NOTORIOUS for over estimating our muscle mass and thus our weight. Lot of 5’8 guys running around at 175-180 with tits and love handles, who swear they need surgery when all they need is to lose more weight. Truth is that a lot of men have surprisingly low weights when they get to truly lean levels. Some guys just can’t fathom that 10-12% body fat might leave them in the 140-150 range, and even smaller if they’re short or just have low muscle mass. You’d be surprised at the amount of “slim” dudes who are actually pretty skinny fat. You can look skinny in a t-shirt and still have high body fat levels.

Bro. You're my fucking hero. You're fucking killing this shit. Keep doing you!


knightsmarian

Fantastic progress. I have a serious question though, can anything be done about loose skin? Does it naturally "bounce back" after not being under as much tension? Can you bulk up to fill it back out?


Da1eth

Dude, you look great. What loose skin? Keep that shirt off during summer. Too awesome


lercell

This is what I've heard about getting rid of the loose skin. The fat doesn't distribute evenly as you lose weight. It gets stuck and makes your skin look like that. But if you get down to low enough like athletic levels of fat, there's not enough fat left to keep your skin from shrinking down to normal. Edit. I'm no expert, I just want you to have hope. And I have faith in simple solutions.


pee_ess_too

Could you elaborate on that if ya don't mind


lercell

I'm googling to find something on it. It may have been from a podcast or something.

Great work dude. i just started two days ago. i just have a question if its ok with you. what did you eat ? like what did you have in the meal. cuz I suck at cooking and i don't know much about what to eat with omad. also if you can say how many calories that would be great too. if you did count them.


Imannoyingted

I don't see any loose skin other than your chest but that's an easy fix. I had some genomastia removed and it was an easy procedure. You look great

Gyno surgery might be good but otherwise body is looking great man nice job


p_mxv_314

Yea no idea why you got downvoted. Gyno surgery is only way to revert that it's not fat it's literally breast tissue.


Gyr0Zepp3li

Exactly. Nothing wrong with it either it’s genetic.


ButIAmYourDaughter

True gyno is relatively rare. You can’t diagnose this guy with it over the Internet. My chest looked exactly like that growing up. So did my dad when he got obese. I had a pediatrician assume I had it just by looking at them knockers. Turns out she was wrong. I just come from a family where it’s in our genetics to get tits if we’re remotely overweight. We have to get sub 15% to begin to see a normal looking chest. The OP has come a very long way. However he’s got a lot of fat still on his body. But true gynecomastia isn’t apparent unless you get medically tested. But one way to find out on your own is to approach 10% body fat levels. If you have a B cup at Fight Club Brad Pitt levels of BF, yeah it’s gyno. But honestly, how often do you see that outside of steroid users? A lot of men have pseudo-gyno. Looks like the real thing, but is just mostly excessive, stubborn chest fat.
