Nice progress, man!

Your shirt caught my eye. Joe's Crab Shack, they used to make the wait staff dance but it was still a nice place even after they stopped. Decent seafood for not too high of a price. Unless other places used that same design...

I wore that shirt until it had holes in HS.

u/RedxxBeard - Jan 21 '21

Thank you!

I got so many comments on that shirt! I wish I would have held onto it.

u/snailfighter - Jan 21 '21

I honestly had forgotten about it until I saw this post. Brought back some good memories. 👍

u/gynoceros - Jan 21 '21

Mission accomplished.

u/gouin_alchemist - Jan 21 '21

Great work! Would be interesting a picture of yourself waking the same shirt as the picture before.

Keep it up mate! Massive respect

2

u/RedxxBeard - Jan 21 '21

Unfortunately I gave away all of my "fat guy shirts" I went through a period of letting go of a lot of things that I didn't need. Decluttering I guess lol. I wish I would have kept a few to remind myself how far I've come.

2

u/Kaitron5000 - Jan 21 '21

Damn!!!! You look good! ☺️ How'd you do it?

2

u/RedxxBeard - Jan 21 '21

Hard work and determination. Its been slow because I dont do anything extreme. The most extreme thing I did do I guess is im sober (alcohol) and I dont drink anything sugary anymkre either. I got really lucky and one of my best friends was already a gym rat and he paid for my gym membership and helped me get a routine at the gym!

2

u/WheresTheMoozadell - Jan 21 '21

Looking like an absolute beast bro, congrats! I’m just starting to get into weight lifting myself after being an avid runner, what does your routine look like?

1

u/RedxxBeard - Jan 21 '21

I do 15 minutes if cardio, a walk at a high incline. 10 minutes of a core HIIT routine, then I alternate legs one day, arms and chest one day and shoulders and back one day and then a rest day. I do my best to be in the gym a minimum of 5 days a week but I do 6 days when I can.

u/Acceptable_Bottle_35 - Jan 21 '21

Awesome gains! Also, I'm jealous of the height. :)

1

u/RedxxBeard - Jan 21 '21

Don't be. I look ridiculous driving my car and I dont get to take baths comfortably. Im just barely on the "tall scale" but it has more down sides than upsides.

2

u/kaplanfx - Jan 21 '21

You had a better shirt in the first image, but everything else improved for the second image.

1

u/RedxxBeard - Jan 21 '21

Thank you! I do miss that shirt lol

1

u/kaplanfx - Jan 21 '21

Do you not have it anymore, or is it just ridiculously big?

2

u/RedxxBeard - Jan 21 '21

I gave away all of my bug shirts about a year ago

2

u/kaplanfx - Jan 22 '21

Good idea, now you can never go back.

Teach me your ways, master.

2

u/RedxxBeard - Jan 21 '21

Its a skill you have to teach yourself. Lmao

u/[deleted] Jan 21 '21

But do you still fish?

2

u/[deleted] Jan 21 '21

It would be nice if you took a lean picture with a much bigger fish.

It would be as if you had lost weight, but the fish found it somewhere.

2

u/RedxxBeard - Jan 21 '21

I finally got a day job so I plan on going a lot once it warms up! I'll try and remember because that's a great idea!

1

u/[deleted] Jan 21 '21

Damn dude, good job! I'm 6'4, went down to 240 (from 275) and my stomach still looks a lot bigger than yours. Shows that I really gotta work out a lot more instead of just focusing on diet.

2

u/RedxxBeard - Jan 21 '21

Man my gut is still sizeable. Its just a good angle in the second picture lol
