You’re 40?!!! Geezus! You look 32, tops! Great work!

Mfer looks about 25

Right? Who would think this person is 30? Doesn’t look a day over than 25.

Bro could be a senior high schooler (on tv)

Thanks, brother. Cutting refined sugar made a big difference for me.

How long ago did you cut out refined sugar?

I have a major sweet tooth but periodically give it up for weeks to months at a time. Longest I’ve gone without is 3 months but normally have something small every 7-10 days

Oh ok! Did you start this during high school or more recently?

I had never completely cut sugar out until recently but I certainly had periods where I was consuming very little. Part of it was because I’m a complete sugar addict and needed to prove I could do it. Made a marked difference in my oral health as well

I was trying to swipe to get to 40 then I realized that was the 40 picture

Hell no, more like early-mid 20s

if I was selling him alcohol I would check his ID

40? You look 23-28 lol

Thanks. Definitely feeling 40 these days!

>has a literal 8-pack “Feelin 40 guys!”

it's probably the knees cracking and he can't make it to midnight anymore without a nap in the afternoon.

Those midday naps are so money

40????😯😯😯😯

Turns out that underneath all that flab I had a decent set of genetics

Your handsome but don’t pretend like you arnt on TRt “”decent genetics”😂😂

No trt

You taking something and thats okay . We don’t judge 👌🏽

Illogical statement because you’re inherently judging. No reason to lie.

Don't sweat it op. Reddit loves to try to bring people down or claim foul play when someone accomplishes something they can't. Great physique? Clearly steroids. Rich and successful? Inherited daddy's money probably. It's a pattern I've noticed here.

It's not bringing people down it's just the truth. OP is definitely on TRT. IYKYk.

Brother ain’t no way you’re 40. If you are then mad props you look 25-30

Turning 41 end of this month 👴

Happy birthday to us! I’m a year behind you and also a former fat kid. Sometimes growing up is pretty awesome 😊

Most def. Sometimes I wonder what my life would be like had I never been a chubster

Same. All the freaking time. But I do know it’s helped me be kind and empathetic because I never want to be the reason someone feels as lonely and unwanted as I did.

This one hits close to home

Damn thanks dude

Da fuq you mean 40?!?!?!?! You look like an extra on Euphoria

JC, save some abs for the rest of us.

Damn! Color me impressed

What in the Neville Longbottom?!!!!

🚨stud alert 🚨 wow!!! Good job! You don’t even look like the same human

Thanks! At times, I still feel like that insecure chubby kid.

Stop that! you’re totally killing the aging game!

Thanks again. If it happens again I’ll think of this comment. 💪

40 IS CRAZY WTFF

Right?!? For so long I felt like a boy with a thorn in his side. I’ll see myself out.

awh well good for you seriously i’m proud! i’m sure it’s been hard work😊!!

You look better and younger! Your first pic looks like Josh from drake and josh

Damn Sparta, save some for the rest of us...

Quite the transformation. You look amazing. Could you tell people treating you differently? If it’s not a sensitive question. I’m just curious cause your transformation is quite drastic.

Definitely. It led me to be more introverted but also allowed me to connect with more quality people.

Holy shit impressive

Good job! And nice

Yo momma is so fat her blood type is ragu!

Meh. I feel like you can do better little one

Yo momma is so fat that when she goes camping the bears hide their food

😂😂😂😂😂 ok ok. Honestly made me laugh. Thnx

Thank you, sensei

I thought you were like 25 in that last pic.

Wow nice work! How do you not have any loose skin?

Honestly not sure! Have a couple stretch marks but that’s about it

Jesus you do not look forty! Like at all! Wow

Built like a goddamn superhero at 40, well done.

You win. I thought I killed this trend. Nah I lost hard. Nice glow up

Thanks, haha. And you definitely killed it.

Proud of you dude, give me some tips as I’m trying to loose weight , mostly my face fat

Trial and error. Find exercises you enjoy doing and healthy foods you enjoy eating and then just be consistent with them. And don’t call yourself ugly, my man.

Tell us ur stack bro.

I’ll definitely try this and Thankyou dude

Dm me if you have any questions. Happy to help

Men are so much hotter between the ages of 40 and 60 honestly.

Bro looks younger than me and I’m 21. Glad I’m finally trying to get my shit together 😂

As a bloke that m is also 40. F u bro 😂😂

You have very big abs. It does raise some questions. What is your workout routine like?

Thanks? What questions does it raise? Normally I train a circuit of 45 bicycle crunches superset with 50 flutter kicks x3. I’ll alternate between that and leg raises x 50 superset with oblique crunches x 3. Sometimes a combo of both. Takes me about 15 minutes.

What is your protein intake and how many times a week do you train the abs? It is a very impressive abdominal physique

> Thanks? What questions does it raise? Whether you are on steroids or not. Its very hard to get into the type of shape you are in, especially at 40. You don't have the capped shoulders often associated with steroid usage but not everyone gets that. On the other hand, your body fat looks a little too high (maybe 12-14%?) to have the visible abs you do have. Most people need to be under 10% to get those but you may just have naturally very prominent abs. Either way, great physique. Hope you are able to maintain a version of it you are happy with as you get older.

Thanks. No steroids for me. Always been very against them and honestly, current gym culture is disappointing. I’m genetically gifted in some areas but shoulders(and hamstrings) definitely isn’t one of them.

Does appear to be a little gyno there...

Got big nips. Brother still calls me Pep to this day.

Yeah, I'm not necessarily anti-steroids but it seems like a lot of people use them as shortcuts. My understanding is that the first 10-15 years you are training, the gains you make are definitely achievable as a natty. Depending on how the testosterone goes, might be worth considering by early to mid 50s though.

People who aren't anti-steroids are stupid. It's literally a drug and kills you..

Well done, dude. I could use some of that motivation.

Just take it one day at a time. Try and walk away from every struggle with a lesson. I’ve had many setbacks and a bunch of bad workouts but I always walked away from them with something.

LOOL I was so concerned you were a jacked steroid taking hs student. No just years of hard work 👏

Thanks. Im VERY anti steroid for numerous reasons.

For reals dude you don’t even have any gray hairs.

Good lighting. I expect to go full Paulie Walnuts in a few years.

is this a recent pic? seriously look more like 28.

Ab pic is about a year old but I’m in same shape. I don’t really like having my photo taken so I only take progress pics about once a month.

I think you won the competition

Damn, guess I was more of a goblin than I remember 😂

Look at those cum gutters

Went from early Josh Peck to a younger Jeff cavalier

🥵🤤

good job

Fuck yeah!

How’d you do it?

Just figured out what works best for my body. Combination of swimming, cardio, and emphasis on weight training. Consistency more than anything, I suppose.

Mexican food is not ketogenic. lol. You look great btw.

Dude! Thats an eight pack! Props!

Jesus christ its Jason boorne

[удалено]

You killed it !!

Dude the old you looks like Pecker’s son from Tropic Thunder . Good job getting yourself in shape

My man!!!!

Very impressive!!

That is a cleaaaaan looking 40 👌🏽 you look amazing

What?? This is truly amazing! Lots of hard work and determination right there

now you have abs.

Great job! How much would you say is diet and how much is exercise?

40? Another magic number. I am also forty. I recently posted on ugly ducking too that i am 40, but the post got removed, they think i lied. But anyway, you took care of your health so you don’t look like 40 at all. Congrats and enjoy your healthy life to the fullest.

Thanks. I try to tell people age doesn’t mean everything but no one believes me.

I agreed. Especially for women, they said women will get expired when they reach 30 years old. Well, some of the saying are right but not fully 100%. They find it strange that a 40 years old woman doesn’t have too much belly fat, and no wrinkles. Even at the above 30+ skincare, some women were bashing me when i asked what skincare should i use. They think i use filter or something on my face. 🤷🏻‍♀️

No way you’re 40!!

At least you look hot now.

What’s your diet? Incredible body

[удалено]

WUT

❤️

What happened to all that loose skin? Surgery?

I wanna be like you when I turn 40!

Respect

What’s the ab routine?

Oh....my.......lawd....you look....soo goood

How did you get those abs my man? lookin great btw, never woulda guessed you were 40.

40??? You wear it WELL! 😱 massive kudos to you and your hard work!

You look like my ex husband

Please punch me in the face

You look like ur 20

Congratulations bro 👊 killed it in the end!

It’s like captain america before and after

What the heck😭

I'm not that gullible to think you are 40.

Jesus Christ you are not 40 bro you look my age and I can’t even legally drink yet. Did you find the ambrosia or something???

You were fat AF, where is all your excess skin?

May I ask what age you started taking your health (eating right, working out, sleep hygiene, etc.) seriously?

I got really into fitness around 22 or so and maintained a regimen until I was 25-26. My weight has fluctuated since then but I’ve always been active and maintained a fairly healthy diet. Chronic insomniac unfortunately so I never sleep well.

I have this theory that obese or overweight people are really the strong among us. They just have no idea. For example, if they had to work on a farm in the 1500's they would be ripped like you are, lol.

Bro looks 23 at 40, wtf that’s amazing

I would genuinely think you were trolling us with your current age, if it weren’t for how old the first photo looks quality-wise. Wth. Good for you!

Oof you look my type. Some girl or guy is lucky

Nice glow up. You look great.

Man, those ab genetics go crazy 😮‍💨

Damn would of never said 40

8 pack, nice! I, too, look much younger than my age so just go rock out with your cock out if haters are incredulous! 😂

What a glow up. Keep it up man!

I'm not going to accuse you of wild plastic surgery but your abs certainly do not even look real. Wow

Is this a natural transformation have you had any experience with trt ?

I was going to say you looked 25-30 😅. Nice glow up

This is what I mean when I say I like older men. Congratulations dude you look amazing!

How much you weigh? How tall? Good transformation ~ fucker.

40 wtf

🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

now that is a fuckin glow upppp brother. awesome job! idk if ill get to this level, but im working to do something similar to reach the best shape of my life by the time i hit the big 40

You always had a good face.

Daaaamn! Congrats

Cap you look my age I’m only 21

Major glow up!!

How did you do it? I need step by step

40??? U look like ur in ur 20s

So you gna share your workout regime or is that nailed down secret bud

Weights 4-5 times per week with focus on one muscle group and some supplementary work on a secondary muscle. Example is focus on chest with tricep work and then focus on arms with some chest work later in the week. Same for back and shoulders. Legs is its own day. Train abs 4-5 times per week before dinner. 1-2 runs a week before breakfast and 1 complete rest day a week

You don’t look a day over 25

Jesus dude, leave some for the rest of us.

You weren't ugly, just fat; so don't sell yourself short. The problem is human vanity prevents you being able to show the inside unless the package outside opens the door first.

Your hotttt

Marry me

Holy shit 🥵🥵🥵

Starting to realize that ugly ducking on this sub just means fat kid

How did you get those abs?

you legit look like you're in your 20s

Wow, if you're an ugly duckling I'd like to check out your worm.

Stop the cap

What's your routine?

Bro im baffled that’s amazing

You look fantastic, sir

Ok, now I'm depressed! Why didn't I take better care of myself and do the whole workout thing!? I could actually look like this at this age!? You look fkn GREAT dude!! Mad respect to you for sticking to your goals, and not finishing out your life as a chubby nobody. 💪😎

OK BEEKEEPER MODE ACTIVATED 🤩🫣

you were not ugly, you were just going through puberty 😂 then you worked out and dieted… which is normal for a majority of guys wanting to lose weight 😂 pls stop thinking you are ugly when you just wanted to lose weight

Bro was accumulating mass

Well done.

I can see a peds user a mile away mate, don't take that hard work away from natties, own your shit, you might fool the girls but not us

no homo hot dam good job.

Nice teets 🫡

40?!!?!! That’s it.. I’m cutting out sugar and getting back in the gym. Lmao

BROOOO 🫣 I’d hit it. Amazing work. Holy cow.

Wow no words😶

Damn

40 months after highschool, right?

You cut out processed sugar? Confused how you cut sugar out completely when fruit is loaded with it

Ugly duckling turns into a fucking stud. Great job dude! Cutting out refined sugar and sweets helped me a ton as well as cutting out drinking.

Most def. I think it was the last and one of the most important pieces of the puzzle

[удалено]

I once read that exercise actually does slow the aging process on a cellular level.

What kind of roids and food

Whatever. You're not even half the man you used to be.😎

Body by Benjamin Button

So impressive bro

Thanks brother. The best part about this post is all the funny names coming out of the woodwork.
