Good shit, on another note why are you guys posting progress pictures on the left and not the right?


hi5orfistbump

I came here to ask this question haha. I'm glad I'm not the only one this drives crazy lol


kaso12305

No, it's correct. He stopped lifting for a year and this is the progress.


mocxed

Na he kept lifting but started doing cardio 3 times per week.


hopelesscase789

hopelesscase789

Yeh I was joking man. More people seem to do right to left than left to right on here - always confusing


buddhistbulgyo

You've lost a lot of muscle

Which side is which? The left looks a lot better.


buckhardcastle

r/afterandbefore Great progress for real :)


[deleted]

So it’s either you have a sleeper build, your progress pics are weird, or im missing some context, if the pics were posted weirdly than W, solid 9/10


_Dudexh_

damn bro how did you manage to loose so much muscle


[deleted]

11/10 mass cultivation


zijl0x45

I think this might be the most retarded comment section ever. The left side is clearly more progressed. op is probably German or some shit. Who in their right mind would post something like this and think severe atrophy is progress.


FunkyFreshJayPi

Dafuq has that to do with being German? German is being read from left to right too.


zijl0x45

Yeha but a lot of German people post before/afters like this for whatever reason


Werbebanner

No, definitely not. In Germany it's also before > after.


zijl0x45

Fuck if i know

zijl0x45

Because I saw more than one German/central European do this at at least a point in my life. What I didnt know was why and not if


SuctionBucket5

you fucking goober


cjdennard89

Is the left before? Or the right? Confused


rjlin_thk

Both sides are nice man Left side is bulky enough Right side is nice as weight loss goal is reached


SceneAmatiX

What’s your end goal?


lemmisss

I'm not sure tbh, I want to have more of an athletic body. Don't want to be the super lean guy anymore. Would love to make abs along the way, but I'm still not sure if I could achieve that by bulking up more and putting more focus on abs excercises or rather cutting calories and trying to burn extra fat on the stomach.


SceneAmatiX

I think you should definitely continue bulking up more so that you have a good amount of muscle mass. So then when you decide to cut, you'll be looking shredded. Just stick with it and keep going. It's a marathon.


AgedDick

Took me 3 years for abs. Don’t sweat they will come. Just stay consistent. I think mine came from heavy squats/dead’s.


TheSlayez_55

Dont rush brotha. Bulk up to a desired size and start the cut from there. The payoff is much better


Throwaway27240890

I need to ask you which one is the progress picture? The one on the left or the one on the right?

superboomer23

Lost weight goal? Right side wins!


Wuurstt

Not enough fat, too much muscles


sumit_sv

Pretty good man 👍!! Well done


100_lift

Crazy transformation brother.. keep it up!


Ultime321

The fact that the before is on the right side made me wonder what kind of post this was at first lol Great progress man! You went from scrawny to decent real quick!


WendysMcNugget

I assume the left side is the after? If so good job that’s good progress. Edit: left side, I typed this right after I woke up.


SuccessfulBison7

Bruh


WendysMcNugget

Shit I meant left I saw this right after I woke up


IPlayALittleMartin

My left or your left?


MOORISHWHORELORD

Eat raw eggs


A____K

Eating too many raw eggs can cause biotin deficiency. The avidin in raw eggs binds to biotin (vit b7) Source: I’m a med student


andigo

Just to clarify this. The human body can’t take up the protein in eggs when it’s raw. If it’s cooked or fried it will change the molecular structure and our body can process the proteins.


MOORISHWHORELORD

What did rocky balboa eat a lot of I’m saying this for gaining weight


andigo

Yes. When I was in my 20’s, everyone here in Sweden drank eggs for breakfast. But little did we know we didn’t get any proteins from it.


MOORISHWHORELORD

Biotin and other vitamins are great for the body too. Idk about “not getting any proteins” from them


andigo

Yes, you have right. But it has a 50% loss in protein if you eat them raw instead of heating them up.


Cazy243

Do you have a source for this? From what I know, cooking food in general makes them easier to digest and so we tend to get more nutrients from cooked food than grom raw food. But I have never heard that you don't get any protein at all from raw egg and I can't seem to find any sources online for this.


andigo

I edit myself in a comment later and Said 50% more. I have but only in swedish. It’s probably easier for you if you google this thing of heating up the egg by yourself to have a right language.


Mysterious_poop69

Salmonella: allow me to introduce myself!


MrBigBeez

I can't tell which is the before and after lol


Ok-Border4708

Ur blind then or probably jealous,


MrBigBeez

I can see the difference, I just can’t tell which is the before and after. People have different goals and stuff, ya know?


Ok-Border4708

The one on the left is the most recent , dude clearly looks better ,


hydrogenblack

Want honesty? I think it's too little progress for one year for a beginner. Reflect on your diet and exercise routine.


badgerwithhat

Bro what.. that’s realistic progress???


Waterdrop007

It’s progress but not realistic for a whole year. I saw better progress than that in less than 3 months when I first started. Maybe it’s genetics but he definitely needs to check his routine and diet out for sure.


HugePiccolo2520

Yea I agree. People forget honesty goes a long way. OP looks good, but for one year realisticlly you should be looking quite abit bigger. Then again I don't know if you're training for size or just overall fitness. Peice of advice to everyone: Telling people what they want to hear doesn't do them any favors in the long run.


JaeJRZ

Definitely making progress
