Been training for 10 years, still look terrible(PIC)

[danf22]

Hey guys, I'm super frustrated right now and would like some help, I'll try to keep it brief.

I have been lifting for about 8-9 years now and have never been in great/good shape, just been overweight, super skinny or just meh(skinny fat).

Over the years I have done many cuts starting around 29% bodyfat and have never done one successfully enough to start a bulk. In the last 8 years I have only done 2-3 bulks because I was never able to get lean enough(12-14 bf).

This is how a cut would go.... start at 29%bf and expect to be 175 at around 14% bodyfat which is reasonable. I would track my lifts and track calories....then I would reach 175 and still be around 20% bf. This has been the cycle for the last 6-8 years.....I'm 6ft 1



Diet/training wise I would track lifts and calorie intake try to eat at a moderate deficit eating a protein intake above .82g per bw, train hard and try to maintain my strength but could never increase my lifts by a crazy amount. Benched was 185 lb, ohp 125, seated db press 60. I cant train any legs due to a serious issue with both knees.

Here is the weekly weight I tracked in my previous cut, it's 30lb lost over 7 months. Nothing crazy.

Please give me some advice, it's been very frustrating putting in the work and not getting any results.

Start by logging a diet

 

[Ori]

The lads got you covered bro. Start a log and they can help you a lot it will be worth the time.

I can only guess, but what likely happened is you miscalculated a little your activity level, when you worked out your BMR.

You mentioned bad knees, does this also mean you don’t do 10,000 steps per day? If so, you may be overestimating how many calories you burn doing weights, it isn’t very high. So if you are rather sedentary, apart from when you lift weights, and don’t walk much, this could be a big part of the problem.

Like the lads said, get a log going and they can help you out

 

[stevesmi]

instead of posting that you eat this many macros its important to post the actual food

the body wants certain foods that will provide nutrition and help you build muscle

so I recommend a log where you can post all that for us

 

[25homes]

We need to see diet and blood work would be ideal. See wat test looks like

 

[ceo]

bros you're giving yourself a hard time but I see a lot of potential in your physique
what you need to do from here is get your log up so we can guide you

 

[ROIDDERS]

you need to do a log Journal where you're posting your diet and training
if you are open to suggestions and can adjust things along the way you will see the most amazing results

 

[chesty]

we are pros at helping get you into the right situation
would hate to see you hop on steroids and end up making your situation worse
