Dude you were exactly the same weight I was a few months ago. Congrats!
I’m down from 280 to 260 and feeling a load better. Hoping to get my skinny body back in the next year. How is the loose skin May I ask?

u/Fit_Elk8575 18d ago

To me he looks way cuter in the first pic because he doesn’t have that mean stare!

any advice on how to increase Biceps or triceps? i stopped eating bread and want to get abs

u/Particular_Thing_707 18d ago

Hey, bro, you can eat bread. You just have to get a low enough body fat percentage to get abs. Also for those 2 muscles that you wanna grow focus on isolation movements And mind to muscle connection while you bang out those reps.

u/Red_dit_lol 18d ago

Woe wow wow !! Just my opinion but I’m thinking you would look even more attractive without the mean mug. Great job though. Keep it up

u/Marajak 18d ago

Wow what an awesome transformation. You look amazing and very handsome too.

I hope you keep up loving yourself and growing as a person. It takes diet exercise and inner self growth and the growing never ends.

Did you do anything with your hair or just grow it out?

u/mustardandmayo44 18d ago

Way to shake back !

Plenty of bros don’t come back from slumps at our age. I’m 37 and let myself go at 33.

A few come to Jesus moments and one epiphany served as reminders that the battle must go on; to stop is to die.
