Guess my bodyfat (Now w/ shaven chest!)

[no one]

Here are some pics one week into dieting and working out. I even shaved my back to help bring out the striations in my lats!

dude. are you retarded?

[Mclovin]

dude. are you retarded?

In what regard? The comment about striations was obviously a joke.

[Mclovin]

The majority is fat, look at the lower back and love handles. How many cals are you eating a day?

Around 1800 to 2000...so a little more than half of what I estimate was my previous daily carlorie intake. I also cut out all alcohol which I think is going to help quite a bit. I used to drink a lot of dark beer and jack & cokes, which add up the calories really fast.

Does anyone have trouble falling asleep at night when they are on a diet? I feel tired but I just can't fall asleep when I'm hungry. Maybe I should start eating my last meal right before bed?

Yeah, I thought it looked kind of bad myself when I actually saw it in a picture.

Yep. When dieting hard I hardly ever get sleepy and I usually require much less sleep in general. What I would advise is that you eat a meal with a moderate amount of carbs in before bed as this will help with your sleep, believe me. Camomile tea helps also.

He has already said that he's 5'10" at 230lbs.  If he's 25% fat as you claim he is then that means he has 57.5lbs of fat or 172.5lbs on non-fat.  This means at 10% bodyfat he would weigh 190.5lbs.  So you're saying someone that doesn't even workout would be over 10lbs more than your claimed "natural limit" if they got down to 10% bodyfat.

Fuck, why do so many people forget that there are also fluids in the human body? Double the weight loss because of water.

And someone at 25-30 % body fat can be really fat, people should realise that too.

Any idea why this is so? I've got an idea of course, but I'd like to hear your idea first

Well carbohydrates help with the rythym to your bodyclock in relation to getting tired at the right times, hence why people have sleep issues on no-carb diets. When I'm very lean I probably sleep 1-2 hours less on average. I think the need for more sleep has got something to do with the strain on your organs that being heavier creates.

This particular question could logically be asked of nearly every single Getbigger at one time or another (including myself)

i would quit working out dude, it just isn't working for you, some people have it some don't.  You can still be thin and attractive, just that muscle look isn't quite for you.  Shave the body hair and change your diet up and focus on cardio, forget the weights.

I've only been back into working out for a week.

Well you opened up pandora's box with this thread but if you ignor the insults and stick to your guns you will achieve your goals and earn respect at the same time, worst thing you can do is give up if u need any diet advice pm me will answere any question to help you.

If you not juicin, it's not worth lifting weights, if you doing it natural stick to cardio and running, whatever, and do some crunches, save you time and some injuries maybe, woman much prefer the regular man's body.  They don't really care that much for muscles.

Good point if he is not training now and introduces it then yes he could gain depends on genetics. I am a roofer and a bodybuilder, off season I am 250 lb and a hot summer day on the roof I have lost 10lb (30 degrees c for 14 hours) in contrast when I am 210 on a hot day I would only drop 2 lb so yes fat holds tons of water. Skinfold test compared to electronic measurement varies per individual but on average 23 % really is only 13-16% on skinfold. In a Dennis James video he is sitting on 6% and he tested 18% electronically, his reaction...."I'm a break this bitch" lol.......he started at 12% dieted for 8 weeks and now he is 18%....you do the math.

You're right.. I did a caliper test and it came out to 15-16%

If you kill yourself on a friday night, I think by the second friday after you should be in the single digit bodyfat region. But do you really want to deal with the smell?

[Radical Plato]

Well, if you commit suicide now, you could be decomposed enough to have a nice level of bodyfat in about two days I would say.
