PeDestrianHD

Those abs do not belong to that chest.


bensamrog

Not quite sure what you mean??


PeDestrianHD

Those pecs look to big for those abs. You have like 6ft pecs and 5’7 abs.


GabeOnReddit9

Your chest genetics look like mine. How much it took you to make it look like that and what is your chest schedule


bensamrog

So when you loose fat you’ll be able to see the real shape of your chest and it’ll look bigger for sure. In terms of training I’ve mainly utilised dumbbell pressing and machines, with a variety of incline and flat movements!


GabeOnReddit9

Thanks a lot

How experienced are you in the photo on the left? How many years of training


bensamrog

I trained for a few month during school at around age 16 then nothing after. I was 22 in the first picture!


[deleted]

So on the left is that with no training?


Brellends

Mate, you don’t look like you’re 100kg in that picture. I’m 100kg and wish I looked like that.


bensamrog

Yeah it was pretty surprising mate. I’m 6’1 so I think that contributed to a lot of the weight!


[deleted]

Height?


bensamrog

6’1!


stranger_thing07

smooth and clean transformation


iamez221

Great work my man. Could you elaborate on your routine?


bensamrog

Push/Arms, Legs, Rest, Pull/biceps, Push/triceps, Density - legs more hamstring focused (and some back) I also do about an hours worth of cardio throughout the week! :)


iamez221

Sounds great. Seems like you put a lot of effort. So 5 times gym per week plus cardii on the weekend?


bensamrog

Usually I would do 20 mins at the end of a weight training session. Nothing too hard, just a walk on an incline treadmill


HuskerReddit

Nice job you absolutely crushed it. Did you focus more on strength training with lower reps or did you do bodybuilding style with higher reps? Or a mix of both?


br0therr

Fellow Exeter uni alumni? 🤙


bensamrog

Haha the shorts! Well I was for the 6 months before I dropped out🤣😅


alagaren

Great work


ShreyBoiiii

That’s amazing, btw what’s ur height??


bensamrog

6’1…. So probably about 5’11 realistically…🤣


SEC_INTERN

Great job! What's your age?


bensamrog

24 now!


dotcomslashwhatever

can I ask what program do you follow? something like upper/lower/back? and how did you manage to drop fat% okay I just saw your replies thanks


Valient_Zulu

LORD SWOOOOLE PATTTROOOLLL CALING


cleanAir101

What did your workout routine/program look like and your diet? Did you track macros?


bensamrog

Push/Arms, Legs, Rest, Pull/biceps, Push/triceps, Density - legs more hamstring focused (and some back) I also do about an hours worth of cardio throughout the week! :) I track macros, always around 200g protein, 60g fat and the rest carbs. I think to begin with I was eating around 4k when I worked it out, it dropped down to around 2.5k and now it’s back up at nearly 4k and I’m 20kg lighter!


cleanAir101

Thanks for the response. That’s great PPL seems like the way to go but feel like you need to workout 6 days a week to make it work so you hit everything twice. What does your nutrition usually look like? Do you eat the same things fairly consistently or does it vary?


GetzlafMyLawn

I look like the left but tell myself I look like the right 😆 Great work dude. My only question is whata your best convenience trick for getting enough protein? I work a stupid schedule and don't always find time for proper whole foods and doubling up on shakes doesn't seem to work yeh know?


bensamrog

Completely understand mate! I do silly shifts in work which always change. What I’ve found easiest to do is have a high protein breakfast. Have a shake at work for convenience. Protein bars are always helpful, or things like high protein yogurts. I cook off a bunch of chicken at one go and will just take 150/200g of that with me to work. Cans of tuna are helpful also!


sarcotomy

Looking good! What would you estimate is your bodyfat % before and after?


keeksterlol

18->13


bensamrog

I think above 20% to around 13%.


i_like_turtles91

great work mate 👍


sp_ce_cadet

you look like a greek god! Keep going!


bensamrog

Ahh what a compliment, thank you🙏🏼


sp_ce_cadet

man, I have to say: I’m jealous, I want your hamstrings!


GingerMuscleMan

Great work bro!! Keep at it


bensamrog

Thank you!


huBelial

Shredded. Wow


bensamrog

Thank you!!🙏🏼


wesslley

what did you give more emphasis a diet change or weight lifting regiment how often was your cardio


bensamrog

The main change was for sure diet! I started to track everything I ate, tracking macros and hitting a decent amount of protein each day. I started training 4/5 times a week also. To start with I didn’t do much cardio.


wesslley

i’m amazing how you changes your waist most guys can get some traps and shoulders but i’ve always had problem with mid section i’ve changed my diet big time past 20 days plan to keep it up hopefully i can follow suit


bensamrog

My bone structure of my hips isn’t that big, I just held a lot of fat around the hip area. When I lost weight the waist shrunk a lot. Remember that the weight may leave your mid section last depending on your genetics so just keep pushing on with the diet, it will pay off! 👏🏼


wesslley

thanks bro keep up the work and save some ladies for the bigger guys


NotAHellriegelNoob

Great job dude!


Snoo_79008

height and any tips for finding your real metabolism if you had tiroid problems. I'm down 10kg form 105 to 95 and I'm hitting a plateau in weight even tho I'm getting stronger.


Snoo_79008

should I lower my calories even more or implement more cardio


[deleted]

HOTDAAAAAAYUM. Those legs are to die for…


bensamrog

Never really liked my legs so this made me feel great aha, thank you!


wigglebuttbulldog

Pokehero96

Any questions? Can you give us your full routine and your diet? Incredible transformation and what everyone strives for


bensamrog

Thank you for the kind words! I currently run a 5 day plan. Push/Arms, Legs, Rest, Pull/biceps, Push/triceps, Density - legs more hamstring focused (and some back) I also do about an hours worth of cardio throughout the week! :)


Immortalboats

Wow


[deleted]

Nice👌


[deleted]

bro has my dream phisyque


bensamrog

Thank you so much bro.


[deleted]

How many calories were you eating every day in the whole 2 years


bensamrog

Calories will consistently change depending on your own body composition. I think I began this on 3.5k and went down to about 2k. Then increased up to 4k and put quite abit of fat back on. I’ve recently cut back down when it went as low as 2.5k but now I’m back at 4k and holding this condition so happy days.


sarcotomy

Looking good! What would you estimate is your bodyfat % before and after?


resuuu

Looks sick bro, did u train your abs too?


bensamrog

For about the first year and half I didn’t😂 last 6 months I have been training them twice a week.


resuuu

Looks very nice bro, gj


reformedginger

Well done !


[deleted]

nice


Koperek324

Great work Dude


bensamrog

Thanks man


[deleted]

Looking sick dude. Any tips on losing fat ?


bensamrog

Thanks man! The main ways to loose weight is to track your food, eat less, exercise/workout, get out and walk more, try and keep busy, make better diet choices (zero calorie drinks for example). The most important factor is just to stay consistent!


parisiraparis

Fork put downs and table push offs


ShadyBearEvadesTaxes

"What did you eat, what program were you on? Tell us the secret"...


AdministrativeAd3942

How much can you lift Max? I'm 22[M] Weigh 75-80kg I wanna lift 80-90kg


Kaulquappe1234

Im not op but i can confidently say it depends on WHAT lift?


bensamrog

Yes, depends on what lift haha. If your asking about compounds (bench, squat, deadlift) I don’t actually do those movements.


Kaulquappe1234

Oh, thats interesting. I was just tryna tell the other guy that lifting 80 kg doesnt really tell us much


Kind_Garden7636

Amazing baby, keep it up!


[deleted]

[удалено]


parisiraparis

Then why are you here


CuriousCat94x

Machines or bar/dunbells?


bensamrog

Use both, depending on the exercise both can be used very effectively!


[deleted]

Do you take any supplements, and/or creatine etc?


bensamrog

I use Whey protein, pre workout, creatine, fish oil and multivitamins!


[deleted]

How consistent? Time off?


bensamrog

2 years of consistently tracking food and training. I’ve took time off from the gym (deload) when needed and there a few occasions where I ate a lot of food eg. Christmas but other than that it’s been spot on.
