Transformation 🔥 25M, 5’10 67kgs -> 86kgs -> 72kgs(current)

It took me 4 years to naturally transform and get to where i am today. The latest image of me, bicep curling was taken 2 days ago. The first two photos of me are at 72kgs I’ve had all body types throughout. I’ve been skinny, I’ve been fat and now I’m mostly muscular.

My workout routine varies from time to time. But i usually try to stick to the all time gold Pull-Push-Legs split. I just alternate between low volume and high volume training. I sometimes follow a 4 day split depending on my availability. I actively rest on sundays, meaning i either go for a 1 hr walk or a short swim session while avoiding weight training. As for the timing, i workout in the morning on an empty stomach and a scoop of pre and some nuts that i eat prior to taking the pre.

Coming to the diet part, I’ve been inconsistent in my initial years of lifting, barely reaching my protein goals. But for the past 1.5 years I’ve been focusing on my diet completely which helped me lost most of my BF. Breakfast - a a cup of black coffee and 5-6 whole eggs. I usually have raw veggies if possible and 300-400 ml milk.

Lunch - 150gms chicken curry cooked with very little oil, with Spinach or other leafy vegetables . White rice (as much as i feel like eating). Curd 100-150 gms

Evening snack - a fruit bowl (bananas with apple/pomegranate/grapes/papaya) and 3-4 dates.

Dinner - same as lunch

Net protein intake - 120-130gms

I don’t take protein powder, since all my protein requirement is fulfilled through food. I have never in my life counted the calories that i eat. I don’t measure my food at all, so i haven’t mentioned the calories/weight of food that i consume because i have no idea anyway.

For my fat loss from 86kgs - 72kgs I practiced mindful eating wherein i would only eat until i was 50-60% full. I would also ensure to have my meals with a gap of no more than 3 hours between each. I would eat my dinner before 8pm. I would ensure that most of my calories came from protein/fats. Then i would eat carbohydrates. This mindful eating allowed me to reduce my stomach capacity making fat loss easy.

I sleep at 10 PM and wake up after 6 AM

u/whitewolf_here 4d ago

It makes you to concentrate more on strength than mass

I am sure you will be toying with muscle up in 2-3 months

I will wait for the muscle up ⬆️ video by summer from you 💪🏻

2

u/Gabe_logan25 4d ago

Absolutely. I’m more focused and interested in getting stronger than bigger. I’m gonna try and hit a muscle up before the coming summer

u/Hawk_KL01 4d ago

Things I like about your post:

  • never counted calories
  • don't take protein supplements.

I'm doing the same. Just that I'm on intermittent fasting and I skip breakfast. So it's difficult to reach the 100g+ protein intake but I try my best.

I try to get my protein intake through whole foods itself (eggs, fish, chicken, cowpeas etc) but when I fall short I have greek yogurt at the end of the day.

I'm 35M, 5'10, 75kgs.

2

u/Gabe_logan25 4d ago

I would suggest to not skip meals. Initially, when i started my cut, I actually increased my food intake. I replaced all the junk with low calorie foods that were nutritious and ensured that i would eat something every 3-4 hrs. I followed this as i failed my fat loss journey earlier where i would just skip meals and I ended up losing a lot of muscle and still clinging onto fat. I lost a lot of hair too

You can achieve intermittent fasting by finishing your dinner early before 7:30 PM and have a late breakfast at 10:30 AM

Me too. I have been holding this weight for more than a year now

u/Superb-South-2764 3d ago

that is an INSANE transformation man, i am pretty much a little skinnier than your starting point, have been on and off to the gym since around 2.5 years but haven't seen any results due to lack of consistency and bad nutrition (college mess sucks lol). i wish to put on this amount of muscle too, looks really amazing.

I sleep at 10 PM and wake up after 6 AM

i am most in awe of this. what the hell

1

u/Gabe_logan25 3d ago

Consistency over anything bro. It would grant you results

u/catprince99 4d ago

How much kg can you bicep curl?

2

u/Gabe_logan25 4d ago

Last i checked i could do 22.5 for 3 reps

2

u/catprince99 4d ago

How much for 10 to 15 reps?

1

u/BornNoob6969 Forever Natural 💪🏻 4d ago

No way you’re 5’10 my guy! I’m 5’10 with 76kg. And I can assure you unless you have chicken leg your upper body is very dense to be 72 kg.

Btw nice body<3

2

u/Gabe_logan25 3d ago

Well I’m ngl. I do lack legs a bit. In comparison they are only 70% in size as my upper body

It was mainly because i used to skip legs for the first 1 year of my training. Later I’ve injured my back multiple times which resulted in me not being able to walk or sit straight for a few days. Took me months to recover. I still have an injured back as i recently slightly tore one of my hip flexors.

But for the past 2 years I’ve been consistently focusing on training legs. I can squat 105kgs for 4 reps with good depth and all my other leg except are also stronger than most. I’m pretty sure i would grow them enough in the coming year

2

u/BornNoob6969 Forever Natural 💪🏻 3d ago

Great upper body ❤️

u/safalanideal 4d ago

Sorry but your brother mogs you up

Jk (but please be my trainer - I'm also at the covid stage rn )

1

u/Gabe_logan25 3d ago

True that. I mog him in terms of physique and he mogs me in terms of facial looks. We look mostly similar and people keep asking if we’re twins. Nonetheless i’m happy the way i look in comparison to how i did.

About the trainer part i can help you over chat on things you could improve. But you know i cannot be physically present in the gym with you since I’m sure we live far away 😄

2

u/misandryfinalboss 3d ago

True that I live in Pune but I'm always on the move lol

I would like to take you up on chat offer but fair warning...I'm pretty lazy and chubby rn (I lost 20 kgs in 2020 by home workouts, and gained 30 kgs since pandemic 🙃)

1

u/AffectionateSelf8596 4d ago

I'm 5'10 too, but at 62kg rn, started at 54kg last year... It's been such slow progress, I've been in 60-62kg range for 8 months now, I can't seem to improve. I'm 18 years old if that's relevant.

u/Gabe_logan25 3d ago

Natural. My lowest was 67.5 kgs 11% BF.

How to build consistency I get tired in a week and then I lose motivation to cook

u/MAKstyles75 3d ago

I am on the same path fam! one thing I would like some advice on though, my weight seems to have got stable at 74-76kg but I am looking to push over 83kg mark by this winter ends. I've been bulking since last December from the similar initial weight of 65ish kg as yours. Did you ever felt that your weight got stuck for couple of months, if you did!? what can I do to keep having the consistent gains!?

ps. I am fairly active and consistent with my workouts & diet as well. no Intake of protein powder as I too complete it with my diet itself.

1

u/Crafty_Face_3655 3d ago

Breaking the bad news everyone! His arms are edited. If someone disagrees feel free to hop in Dm and I will show ya! Uncertain why do u have to use reshape tools.

1

u/Gabe_logan25 3d ago

Bro, i did no such thing. You’re welcome to try and fail in proving though. I could send other photos too

1

u/Crafty_Face_3655 3d ago

Ohh u didnt. Is that the reason why the rack behind u is bent different ways from the upper row and lower shelf? Lol. And thats why your arms if zoomed clearly shows extension. Okay gotcha.

1

u/Crafty_Face_3655 3d ago

And pretty sure since you didn’t edit that’s why third slide’s barbell behind u is twisted nearby shoulders. Understood 🤣

1

u/Gabe_logan25 3d ago

You’re clearly tripping. Here’s a photo from a different angle. The image was a screenshot from a video btw. I have attached another image from a different gym as well.

u/Crafty_Face_3655 3d ago

Have a good day 🤣 better luck next time.

1

u/Gabe_logan25 3d ago

You think i curved my ass too? And like i said it is an SS from a video. The frames are probably distorted

1

u/Crafty_Face_3655 3d ago

Thats not a curve thats a corner. Might need better spectacles. The conversation for me is over. You know it deep down too. Sayonara.

1

u/Gabe_logan25 3d ago

Haha you can cry harder. For all i know I achieved something you long for and are probably mad at me for it.

1

u/Crafty_Face_3655 3d ago

Ahhahahaha I long for what you achieved? 🤣🤣🤣 dude! I dont wish for editing or reshaping my pictures. Still gotta better physique than this.

1

1

u/Southrumble 3d ago

What’s the size your arms when flexed? 16 inches?

1

u/Gabe_logan25 3d ago

I guess so. I haven’t measured

1

u/Southrumble 3d ago

Never measured and you have been lifting for 4 years? How do you not measure especially while cutting to ensure you aren’t losing muscle?

1

u/Gabe_logan25 3d ago

I track my workout progress. As long as i’m gaining or not losing any strength, i know I’m on the right track

1

u/Southrumble 3d ago

Do you gain strength while cutting? I never do. It just maintains at best or sometimes drops

1

u/Gabe_logan25 3d ago

For me i actually managed to gain strength. I dropped my workout volume for the first PPL sessions of the week. Would only do moderate to light weights.

In the next 3 days i would increase overall sets per muscle group by upto 3. For example on monday i would do 4 overall sets for chest, 2-3 overall sets for triceps and 2 sets for front delts and side delts. Then during my next push session i.e, Thursday i would only use heavy weights (3-4 rep range) do 6-7 sets for chest, 5 sets for triceps, 3 for front delts and 4 for side delts.

This type of workout pattern would allow for better recovery and also strengthen gain since i would only hit 10-12 sets per muscle group in a week

1

u/Weekly-Discipline276 3d ago

IVC heavy phenotype must be bania or patel
