12 weeks progress

well, its something OP. you've got a ways to go but good job so far. Watch the calories and do more cardio. Good luck!

Go swim.
Intermittent fasting.
Eat your veggies first

Good shit. I personally would lay off the accessory exercises until you plateau. You'll have time to get aesthetic once you're strong

Respectable progression for a brand newbie. What is your goal weight?

It took you 12 weeks to lose 8 lbs??? This better be bait

I congratulate you on your effort, but 8 pounds in 12 weeks is shit. You should be able to drop 1.5-2 pounds a week easily.

you're still fat
i made more progress in half that time

He could have easily lost double to triple that in that time.

Sorry about your genes.

you're becoming a beautiful fridge, user

You should be eating less you fat fuck that is horribly slow progress for 12 weeks

my goal:

8 pounds in 12 weeks is pretty shit progress desu. On a purely energetic level that amounts to an average net loss per day of 333 calories. But increased exercise and healthier eating means reduced insulin load and therefore water weight loss. So you've probably only lost 4 lbs of fat.

should I be doing more cardio to get rid of those muffins
No. Cardio is as good as useless for weight loss. No matter what the medical establishment tells you, the cardio meme is only good for strengthening the heart and increasing epigenetic pressure on mitochondria for fat metabolism (i.e. aerobic capacity)

What do you want to do?
Lose Fat
Control you calorie intake. You lose fat by eating less than you burn. Personally I use fasting with my clients as the most effective method for fat loss.

Gain Muscle
Eat more, and lift heavy

Get Better at Running
Run. This is the only thing cardio does.

this is very controversial

Cardio is as good as useless for weight loss.
According too...

3 months
less then 10 pounds
look exactly the same
they're wrong, you should give up and kill yourself

less than 10 pounds in 3-4 months. Please be a fucking troll. I could lose more than you in two days.

How often you lift?
You follow any routine

i've changed up my routine now (it's been almost 16 weeks since i started) but back then I was just doing 3 dropsets of each: bench+pullups superset, ohp dumbells +curls superset, inclined weighted crunches, legpress+calves. i only started deadlifts later on and i still only do front squats since back squat hurts my left shoulder.
the reason i like drop sets is because they squeeze everything out of you plus more volume. plus, i think it's hilarious to be a swole dude with a pump but only curling 20 pounds at the end.

and you did that full body workout in one session? how many times a week?
I'm thinking of switching over to a more intense workout since I've plateau'd the 3x5 meme, looking for something that will produce more results

user I'm glad you're getting in shape, but you should think about starting a business or something too. Your face is incredibly low T, get your money stacks up. Good luck tho, I hope you make it.

Jesus christ dude, shave or get contacts or something, you look like shit. Other than that your progress is pretty slow but whatever keep it up.

12 weeks to lose 3 lbs with potentially around 5lbs of water weight

There is no fucking way this is not bait.
If real, apply yourself you fat sack of shit.
