I’m actually fairly level headed about my appearance (slightly obsessive), but I have come across the magic bullet more than once so here we are with Dienogen. I think there is a level of reality someone must accept though once you move beyond 40 years old, unless you are extremely diligent and/or genetically blessed. I’m definitely not either one but over the years I have been very consistent with hitting the weights, so I am proud of that. I don’t think the first pics represented me very well (I wasn’t even standing up straight) so I decided to do some updated pics rather early. Since I’m not outlining my workouts, the proof will strictly be in the pudding- or pics as this case may be.Hey @Ricky10, I tried to reply to your post with updated pics, but it won’t let me quote it for some reason. The following was what I wanted to reply with though:
Don’t beat yourself up bro. I’m sure there are plenty of dudes in a worse position after all the lockdowns. It’s really not even that bad man. I gotta give you props for posting pictures of yourself without a shirt on too. I don’t care what anyone says, it takes some balls to put yourself out there like that and I, for one, wouldn’t post pics of me right now with a shirt ON. So seriously, don’t be so hard on yourself (I’m being a total and complete hypocrite right now lol).
That said, if you’re eating at or just below maintenance, dien will help strip some fat. It did for me anyway. It’s not going to be a ton, but I definitely noticed my waistline shrivel during my run.
I appreciate your kind words though and your own Dienogen log features some mighty impressive pics with your shirt on regardless. The pursuit of what we think we want ourselves to look like is what motivates us.
That must be why I have been having trouble editing any posts within this log with pics or emojis. Typical that it had to happen when I finally decide to log something of this nature! I just had remove emojis to post this..It's probably the site's new anti-(spam?) Software. It will sometimes not allow some pics to be posted. Sometimes even emoji.
