Eat less. Track your calories and find a daily level that leads to weight loss.
You're strong as shyt. How much do you weigh? I can max out 45 lb weighted chins for 3, weighted dips with 100 for like 4-5.
Real shyt I'm 5'8 like 175
I used to be 5'8 260 and pushed 365/Squatted 550/Pulled 525 in High School but I ain't about that powerlifting life no more
Just tryna look good af and lead a healthy lifestyle.
Been there where I'm the strong fatboy in the gym shyt ain't fun, lookin buff and having abs (I ain't never had abs in my life before it feels good) >>>
Used to never be able to dip even my own bodyweight or do a pullup so this is serious improvement for me
Lowkey I'm so nice to people in my gym, old, young, I always help people and always try to give people positive reinforcement and encouragement. I've noticed a lot of haters since I've shredded down, like skinny dudes that are mad cause I went from fat to swole and they're still stuck in the skinny regime, or fat guys that are still fat and mad I dropped the weight and kept it moving (dudes will try to lift next to me tryna show me up lold)
Real talk the truest way to be successful in the gym is to be willing to carry the fire inside of you and keep your heart pumping through the bullshyt. Steroids don't help, workout programs don't help, advice from other people don't help, carry Heart and complete your goals
It's all about improving yourself, not competing with some random nobodies you don't even know
Physically/Mentally/Spiritually
If I have any personal preference, it wasn't even cardio that helped me lean down. It was the SUPERSETS and the reduced RESTING BETWEEN SETS, and the higher repetitions
Whenever I lift I ramp from a warm up, to increments to the highest weight I can do with good form (That focuses on the tension of the muscle), to dropsetting on 15-20 rep sets till my warmup set
Don't be afraid to superset, switching between a bench press and dips in a 10 second span is a good idea
Always switch up the routine of your lifting after awhile. Hammer curls everyday work, but only for a short time (I learned this the hard way). Then I switched to regular curls to supersetting with Hammer curls (dropsets everytime) and saw vascular/muscular improvement
My personal preference is to focus on the supersets and dropsets (Dropping the weight and going till failure on each increment with good form)
Just my .02, not everyone's body is the same, and everyone has different methods of doing things
It's your body, no one elses. Only you know what's best for your body
Eat a cleaner diet, understand why you need to eat a clean diet CLEAN of the toxins, chemicals, additives from junk ass food. Drink detox water, lemon, orange, basil, herb, ginger, in your water. I love drinking that. That helped with my gut.

A lot of newbies in here to lifting... The smith machine has a purpose.... I'll just leave it at that....
i mean...I kinda agree with you in a way but at the same time as someone who works out 3 times a week, I feel like this is only something that an out of shape nikka would try to say, lmao
"knowing how to fight" aint gonna make you look good with ya shirt off at the beach, nor is it gonna help with your sexual performance
"having heart" aint gonna do shyt for you when your heart actually fails to function properly
pifftannen
that's just like, your opinion, man
how does a thread like this get 8 pages deep?

...come on let's picture the possibility...
I'm speaking in the context of Drake getting smacked up by Diddy. It's alot of cats that equate weight lifting with fighting. Case in point:i mean...I kinda agree with you in a way but at the same time as someone who works out 3 times a week, I feel like this is only something that an out of shape nikka would try to say, lmao
"knowing how to fight" aint gonna make you look good with ya shirt off at the beach, nor is it gonna help with your sexual performance
"having heart" aint gonna do shyt for you when your heart actually fails to function properly
As far as me, I'm hung like a horse, I aint got to be in shape. lmao

Having heart is having character and dignity, being able to push through bullshyt in your life and stay motivated when people around you are tryna make you soft. But I can tell you flatout I know scrawny dudes that can break jaws and know big dudes that have glass jaws
I done got my lips busted in fights and I've punched someones face into the concrete
You win fights you lose some ain't nobody out here gonna be Superman
There's always someone bigger and badder than you
Who cares about fighting. Be nice to people and stay positive, ignore the bullshyt and be above the fukkery.
Just be ready to throw down when you have to and there's no way out
shyt a buddy of mine is a Puerto Rican cat from China, him and his brother used to get into fights like a mother fukker at clubs in Beijing with foreigners, and those Chinese Cops ain't lookin out for Americans (they'll tell ya that firsthand stay humble). He's such a nice person, but man if that boy ain't got hands.
A former friend of mine and him wuz over while we were smokin blunts and just got done drinkin (Former friend doesn't smoke), and he started talkin shyt outta nowhere. Keep in mind this is the typical fat dude from the burbs who ain't never threw hands in his life, wrestled in high school, but always got negative shyt to say about others, always meanmugs and competes with others, and always talks about beating ass
He was like 3x bigger than my Puerto Rican friend too, this dude was like 6'2 270 at the time, my PR friend got big af, but at the time he was like 5'11 150
My friend snapped tho, told him he was gonna smack the fukk outta him, he don't care that I'm there (lol'd) he'll beat his ass, the fat boy clammed up so fukkin hard, this dude who talks so wild about fukking people up just got told to his face he ain't shyt and he'll smack the lips off him. Motherfukker didn't say shyt and went home, same dude walked up to me the NEXT day and said to me "Man **** is lucky he was drunk otherwise shyt woulda went down"
Like man
That's fake as fukk
Don't talk hard game if you ain't about it, you got told to your face you ain't shyt and didn't do shyt about it, by someone like 150lbs smaller and shorter
The kids a street cat tho, and he keeps it real and is a humble dude, but people got their breaking points. Couldn't talk to fatboy after that, got tired of his wannabe tough guy shyt, trying to holler at girls who are still in high school, meeting girls on dating apps like Tinder and bragging about it to me

What the fukk, we essentially got the same goddamn height and weight. I'm probably a couple pounds lighter than you, but we're essentially identical height and weight wise. If you're not estatting and you're natural, you're a very, very gifted lifter man. Those are very impressive stats.
how does a thread like this get 8 pages deep?

Just got negged for being a liar 
like I care what a bunch of people on an internet forum think of me
Just discussing bullshyt since I just left the gym.
Like I said though, it's funny how the heaviest shyt talkers/tough guys I ever met have truly never seen struggle in their lives or have never had a gun in their face and told they ain't shyt
Life is humbling
Yeah I checked my weight after you asked, the scale said I'm 180. I am trying to drop to 175. I don't know bro I ain't squatted or worked legs since high school so I really ain't shyt, and I ain't deadlifted since like three months ago, still pulled 315x8 somehow
Appreciate it bro but I still got a lot of work to do out here. Always lifting for myself and to keep improving on what I was, what I am, and what I'm trying to be.
Doing dips for 100 even with 4-5 reps, no matter what is still hella impressive, that's just pure raw strength you're carrying.

whats the main purpose of it?
I'm getting some good info from this thread
For me when I do smith machine I do a reverse grip flat bench
For me it helps with the squeeze a lot on my chest so I love doing it, I haven't done that in a minute but I have a buddy who can bench like 350 and he still has days where he uses smith machine bench. It helps with shaping the muscle for sure, (In my opinion, opinions vary)
