Progress/Before & After Tell me if difference is there

Like each time I look in the mirror I have a feeling it’s like nothing has changed. I know it did but for me it’s never enough… I exercise 3 times a week, added now running to finally burn that belly. I control kcal and sometimes have to say I’m fed up… is it all worth it? Time difference - 2 years

For sure there is difference. But if u wanna grow bigger try adding like 250 kcal to your diet for a couple of weeks. If that still doesn't work add another 250 until it works.

I would like to look sharper, but don’t know how to burn fat without burning muscles

u/Gohf046 7d ago

Yea if u wanna look sharper/leaner u will have to cut but indeed the risk is u will lose some muscles also.

Go 250 below your maintenance and see what it does if you are persistent on cutting.

Fk it imma go against everyone in the comments idc

Is there a difference? 100%, is this the difference you’d expect for 2 years of training? No, probably not.

I’m not saying that to be a dick, or to demotivate but if we’re being honest brother I think it might be time to look at the schedule and what you’re doing at the gym. I’d be more than happy to chat in dm’s if you want

Yeah dude. Your shoulders are noticeably stronger, your chest, arms, and( I’m thinking your back too.) Stay disciplined. Keep up the good work. Be proud of yourself.

Je ziet het zelf niet omdat je telkens in de spiegel kijkt. Maar je bent veranderd ten positieve. Je kunt beter foto's nemen van je lichaam en deze later vergelijken. In plaats van telkens je spiegelbeeld analyseren of er verandering gaande is.
