I’m on a push pull routine and cardio consist of 20 minutes uphill on treadmill 4-5 times a week. Before these 8 months I had never spent more than a day at the gym.
I’ve been stuck at 190 for 4 months but I have gotten leaner.
These are my current macros: Carbs 200 fats 70 protein 220.
What is your opinion? Need Suggestions
I’m not sure what your definition of shredded is, but you’ve got more than 20 lbs to go I’d have to say

Yeah shredded you are probably looking at about 145ish with your current muscle mass.
What are you goals? Just want to get leaner and more muscular?
What kinds of foods are your macros coming from?
I won’t be completed shredded at 170-175 but I will definitely have a ripped look. Bauber, I would literally die if i weighed anything close to 145ish. I remind you again that those after pictures were taken first thing in the morning with absolutely no pump. I have only been working out for 8 months and look more muscular than 90 % of the guys in the gym. I will be ripped at 170 but i still have 20 pounds to drop.
My food are coming from the best sources: chicken breast, lean turkey, beef, sweet potato, brown and white rice oatmeal, eggs, salmon, tilapia ect…
great progress. Keep up the hard work bro

No pump and he is more muscular than 9/10 of people at his gym. He definitely has it figured out. Just look at him, future Mr. O.
Unless you think I look shredded (I don’t), you’re underestimating how much you’re gonna need to lose to be shredded. Look at the pictures of me in my RMP thread. I weight 190 in like August or September of last year. I weigh 170ish in my avatar picture now. I could certainly lose 10+ more pounds than I have before I got a shredded look, and I started out leaner than you are now.
As a side note, you should probably change gyms if you look more muscular than 90% of the guys there. That’s just silly.
Take some of these comments tongue in cheek as the rating standard for RMP is based on competing bodybuilders, a caliber you are not quite at.
That being said your before and after photos definitely show fantastic progress and you deserve to be commended, but this is a game for the long haul, 8 months is long enough to make progress but not long enough for that glory swole.
As a side note, I would recommend that you continue working on filling out your frame rather than obsessing over getting cut up like so many people who were once overweight/out of shape tend to do. In the end you will be more satisfied, not to mention further ramp up your metabolism and make the cut easier and more rewarding in the long haul. You are still within the newbie gain stage of your training don’t squander that doing senseless or excessive cardio and calorie restriction.
