Dude! You've accomplished absolutely extraordinary results! Congratulations!
I haven't been to this forum for like 4 months or so and thought I'd check back in, and to see your transformation is getting me inspired to get started again myself. I was planning to go back to the gym and eat better before, but I let emotional stress take the upper hand and I didn't follow through. Now however I know I got to start over and follow through this time. My gynecomastia has gotten more profound and the additional fat I'm carrying has not helped the look either. It is embarrassing to walk around in t-shirts. I usually have to wear dark/black colors to help camouflage my moobs although they're still very clearly visible.
Anyway, what I wanted to ask you is: would you be willing to share your gym routine? What kind of exercises do you do?
Also, I was curious what you do for food. Do you follow a certain diet regiment?
Thanks man and keep up the great work, I know you're going to improve even more in the time to come.
Hey Trail. I am so glad I am inspiring you! This is my mission now. To inspire people to grasp what they want and achieve it. If I can do it anyone can do it. I also can relate to you about being embarrassed. I use to only wear baggy black t-shirts to help hide my moobs. It is so relieving to be able to wear whatever I want now and actually feel confident in taking my shirt off in public. I am actually looking forward to going to the beach and flaunting myself! My confidence is sky high and it has translated into improvement in every aspect of my life.
I am sorry if you told me this already but have you had the surgery? I can also share my diet and gym routine. My diet routine is very simply yet may be boring for most people. i eat the same three meals almost everyday with 1-2 cheat meals per week. 90% water 10% fruit drinks/protein shakes. Here it is
Breakfast- 2 jumbo eggs- 2 egg whites (buy it seperatly and measure it out to equal whites from 2 eggs) and one protein shake (160 calories)
Lunch- 2 pieces of thin sliced chicken breast. 2 pieces of chicken tenderloins. Vegetables and one sweet potatoe
Pre workout snack- Rice cake with peanut butter spread on top and sliced almonds on top.
Dinner- 2 pieces of fish (either cod, salmon, or flounder) one instant bag of brown rice or mixed rice and lots of vegetables. Also post workout protein shake.
Rinse repeat everyday. You can have 1-2 cheat meals per week without it doing any real harm. Try to avoid suger, dairy (use almond milk), cheese, and bread. Bread is OK if you can't avoid it.
Gym workout (this is really intense you don't have to do it 6x a week). Everything is 3 sets 12 reps. I am going for definition not bulkness. Also cardio after every weight workout for 45 min. I also do swimming for 20 minutes but you can skip that. I just enjoy it.

1. Cable Curls
2. Single arm dumbbell rows
3. hammer curls
4. bent over rows

6. skull crush
7. incline dumbbell press
8. Chest press machine (make sure you do one arm at a time to isolate each chest muscle. make sure to tilt body to side as well)
Rinse repeat. Each workout is 2x a week with sunday being offday. You can just do 1x a week and still get amazing results for sure if you don't have the time.
My chest looks friggin awesome right now. I am going to wait until beginning of June to post more pics but it looks like I bench like 200 pounds and am just very muscular. I really only bench like 145 though haha
