so this is month 5 since I started looksmaxxing for reference I'm 21, 6'1 I'll link here my last post with progress:
another month has passed and I'm making very good progress, contniued cutting, I don't really like using retra etc, as a background I started looksmaxxing after 3.5 years of bodybuilding, I was roided asf, in these years I used lots of trenbolone, deca, eq, testosterone (used even up to 1.5g of enanthate but running it solo with insulin) at a certain point after watching some bp edits that came out of nowhere in my tiktok fyp I looked myself in the mirror and relized I was lowk ugly asf and balding too😂.
first thing I've done was ordering finasteride and starting a cut that physically I didn't need (if it wasn't for my fat moon face) since I was 225 benching 400 at 12% bodyfat (cut that I'm still doing since it made 70% of my progress) I used in the first 45 days clenbuterol and finished my last vial of trenbolone acetate with 300mg/week, this has always been my standard dosage for almost every cycle, important to notice that I've been from my first cycle in blast and cruise, never fully off steroids, never less then I stopped all gear.
after 2/3 months of starting to clear my system the results were obvious: I WAS NOT ONLY FAT BUT INFLAMED ASF. I think most begginers don't even realize that, my skin cleared visibly by the day, since the 1st of august I stopped training bc my shoulders were too wide and I realized that the inability to find a suit of dress shirt or even a fucking tshirt that fits you well without it being a compression shirt isn't that big of a flex since you look goofy asf even when the dress is tailored, we are talking about a 58cm shoulder width after starving myself with the cut, on bulk I was closer to 62cm, and my arms from 47cm to 46, idk about legs measurements but they were huge too and goofy in baggy jeans, now I average about 43cm arms, and 54cm shoulders, height is the same at 6'1, eat arround 1600-1800kcal day no sugars with normal sodium, potassium intake rda for my weight and magnesium too.
finally what I've done other than cutting spoiler nothing more than chin tuckus and head posture exercises and mewing.
this is my third post, you can open my profile to see the other 2 posts regarding this ascension. for clarification now l weight 187lbs and still bench 400 and doing 345 for 4/5 reps so not bad NOT CAPPING I GOT VIDEOS.
For the final part these are my thoughts, I'm self conscious, I'm not that good looking but bp and looksmaxxing helped me significantly to achieve better looks, got lots of feedbacks with people that I know and don't telling me that I'm good looking (I don't think so but it's not me who decides how other people see me) but you have to understand the real philosophy of the discipline, it's self emprovement, if you want to hardmax do it, I want to, but I can tell you that at the begging I wanted to hardmax my whole face (chin, full jaw, midface and zygos, temples, upper eyelids etcetc) I thought it was over for good and that was the only way to go, I thought "I have the money and the time, I'm a med student I know the procedures and know the doctors" I thought I knew better than the people that tell you to softmax and Improve your lifestyle and diet first, I've done the consultations etc and luckily had the doubt in the moment to ask the surgeon (my personal friend) if I should cut first and then told him the roids I was on all year round, he told me to give myself a few months then come back, obviously I didn't pay for the consultation since we know each other very well.
as I said it turns out that I need less than half what I expected at the begging of my journey so first softmax THEN AND ONLY THEN think about hardmaxing.
last point that I want to make is:
there is absolutely no way to understand how good you look if not trough a mathematical faccial analysis and unbiased objective and opinions from your most brutally honest. friends if you have any and feedbacks from people you meet in pubblic.
I made the bad decision to name my first post "rate" and most people tried to bring me down, now I'm posting just for tracking progress and show to people new to this world a normal transformation, I received hate comments even tho I've been nothing but kind and ultra unrealistic standards.
yall have to understand that looksmaxxing is about self improvement. you'll never be the richest, never be the smartest and never the best looking, always a bigger fish in the ocean, there's no need to bring people down without telling them what points they should improve (always the ones with no posts with attched photos of them) so this is for my guys that are serious and want to be a better person physically and mentally
ps in the third immage I had just woke up, I was obviously bloated af

as I mentioned in the post my peak weight was 105kg (roughly 225lbs) at 12% bodyfat, but I forgot to mention that my starter weight was 56kg (115lbs) at 6'1 3 years prior

hi, I don't know what dnr stands for, I'm italian so english is not my first language subsequently I don't know much about abbreviations, as I mentioned in the post my peak weight was 105kg (roughly 225lbs) at 12% bodyfat, but I forgot to mention that my starter weight was 56kg (115lbs) at 6'1 3 years prior, in the post I explicitly explained that I cam off gear long ago a stopped almost entirely training, these are today's photos at 85kgs (20kg less or 45lbs), I've been starve maxxing for month but my body doesn't want to get any smaller even without roids, the problem is that I want to get smaller but my body just refuses to. I hope I've explained better, the goal was to look more aesthetic and stop looking like a bodybuilder

this was the start of my last off season, I already wrote the reply to the guy telling me my physique is average, the photos are today photos, I weight 85kg and this was almost the objective even tho I would have liked to be a bit smaller, my gym journey has started at 56kg and ended at 105kg 12%bf, I'm attaching you a photo of the beggining of my last off season at august 2024, in that photo I was 95kg at 14% bf so immagine what other 10kg looked like on me at 12% bf
