Do you even lift bro?

I was pretty close to that first guy's pic before my life imploded and I gained 25 pounds.

I'm 5'9 on a good day 

I'm 6' but have a fairly big build. Especially broad in the shoulders. I am somewhat still overweight and could likely get down to 175 to 180 but I'd be pretty shredded at that weight I think.

I'm closeish to the first pic Kitler posted. Just starting to see my serratus and slight outlines of my abs. I've never know what my abs look like but I can definitely say now that they are not symmetrical

What are you doing that makes them non symmetrical?

Is this just abs or is one arm a hulk too?

[the-pi-guy]

I've never looked like that. I've always been a twig.

Nah just abs, mostly just genetics. From what I can tell the splits of the abs on one side are lower than the other side. I'll be curious to see more if I can get to that point. Lol

This is the body comp I'm striving for. Feels pretty attainable with consistency and being good with diet at least 80% of the time

You're actually close to that? Impressive!

Ehh I'm getting there. I'd say if I could lose another 15 to 20 I'd be pretty dang close. I think I have the muscle tone I just have a little more body fat 

[Legend]

Oh lame lol. I've always been overweight and had moobs.

Last night I realized there is legit boob in my moobs. Just a little tiny bit of tissue that will never go away regardless of how much fat I lose. Happens to like 10% of adult men.

Guess I no reason to keep losing weight and getting in shape ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Spoiler for Hidden:

Or i could just have it removed if I ever get that thin. The Rock had one removed.<br>

Been staying under 180 lbs.

Walking has continued to get easier. Even pushed myself a little harder with a higher speed and angle.

Also been finding it much easier to stand a lot more at work. Using my standing desk a lot more lately.

I just did my first taekwondo class. 

Also broke my first board.

That's cool!

What made you interested in it?

My son started Taekwondo about two months ago.

Then one of my daughters joined a month ago.

I thought it'd be fun to do it with them, and kind of convinced my other daughter to start at the same time.

Not exactly sure what prompted Ben to start, I think wifey was pushing activities on him.

Me and the 3 kids passed our belt testing, so we moved up a level.  Which isn't much. My oldest son is now a yellow belt.  



For context.  

The other 3 of us are now yellow stripes, not quite yellow belts since we started later.  

[Legend]

How long did that take?

Green belt by end of year?

They do testing every 6 weeks.  

I think we could get a green stripe if we kept on it.  Ben could get a green belt in Mid December.
