OcUK Health Seekers: Post your progress pics

DELETED_108974 · 4 May 2012 at 21:39

Hey guys. Not posting a picture but I do have a question.

I have recently joined a gym, I weight about 12 stone but my body fat is relatively high. I have a bit of a belly on me but mainly chest fat (man boobs/Gynecomastia). Is there a difference between regular man boobs and Gynecomastia or is the latter just a scientific name for it?

Do you have any recommendations of what I can do to lose this excess chest fat and get a body I can be proud of? List exercises, etc.

Thanks!

And yes, there is a difference between fatty boobs and Gynecomastia, one being excess fat the other being a medical condition

Yes more specifically too much oestrogen in the body causing breast tissue growth.

Indeed, which is I believe half my problem.

Mind you if I say that around anyone they just laugh

Looking good Cristian

What are you current goals? size?

Cristian · 5 May 2012 at 14:50

Yes, just gone through my first week of P.H.A.T.
I've been trying to cut for the past couple of months but it's been slow even though I am now the leanest I ever was.
I think I'm now 3 weeks away of serious dieting from serious abs so I'll focus on lean mass for a while then lose the extra flab before my holiday.

2 weeks of SL5x5, up to 120kg DL, 95kg squat and 65kg BP, which is +40kg on the DL, +35kg on the squat and +30kg on the Benchpress, I imagine i will be slowing down a lot shortly though!

By the way, these are 5x5 weights except the DL which is 1x5, so not 1RM

I still want to see the 60kg dumbbell presses.

I doubt very much that two weeks ago you could only do 35kg 5x5 on the bench press.

rG-tom · 7 May 2012 at 20:59

it was the first time that i had ever done bench pressing free weights, i actually found 35kg a struggle compared to 65kg now. It's all about getting comfortable with the technique and supporting muscles.

My actual chest is quite strong, i could comfortably 3x10 120kg on the bench press machine in the resistance section, but my supporting muscles need to catch up.

Disco Boy · 7 May 2012 at 21:02

Oh I see. Hit dem dumbell presses in that case!

Life has taken over, so I don't get a great deal of time to pop over and see how you're all doing.

So here's my way of saying hello by looking like a fatty but I promise, I still do have an ab or 4 hanging around relaxed!

After getting to sub 10% bf, I've put on a stone since then now peaking at 167lb. HST cycle and stats were interesting to say the least.

Back is still pretty much the same:

So you have returned. :mad:

You look so impressive, damn it!

While I'm not topless (Sorry guys) it's just something to help track my progress

In general, I'm quite happy with how things are going, certainly getting some decent size developing (slowly mind)

The next few months will tell

P.S: Chest is flat as a pancake

Aye

Typical gym boy look I guess, but it's progress none the less for me and I'm happy
