woke up to a lower weigh in this morning might have to do it again in a week or two

Cheated myself at tfe gym today mehn. Really feel like a failure. SMH. Downside of not having a workout partner.

excuses

Definitely bro. Gotta overcome the mental part better.

Been so focused on trying to make my diet as efficient as possible in terms of nutrition and volume that I’m loving cooking at the moment.

Thought I needed a takeaway meal once a week to help curb cravings but now I can go without. I wouldn’t of believed this two years ago lol. 😩🙏🏾

How we feel about Jeff Cavaliere? Been following his workouts for specific body parts on youtube

Was like 130 pounds July last year when I started gym last year . 170 pounds now .

Im 6 foot man so I was scary skinny (over pandemic I got my skinniest which was what inspired me)

But it gave me the freedom to just really pack the pounds on and not worry about getting fat . Idc about being ripped I was just tryna not be that skinny guy anymore. That's why I slowed down a bit tho as it's crazy how just upping my calories that bit more saw me gain so much weight so quickly. I was so skinny tho even now I'm not fat and got a muscular shape

Hadn't seen my friends in like months and this weekend they really noticed the transformation s*** was such a good feeling

f***ing hate rest days. feel like im not doing enough

I’m never trying to get a lift in at my uni gym past 8pm. Holy s*** was it packed

My first week of free weight and compound exercises complete. I am definitely alot weaker than I thought I was now that I have transitioned over.

Does this mean I need to go back to the machines until I get stronger?

165

She needs to do that at home

I hit the gym all legs no chest

walk, mobility work, yoga, foam rolling, physical therapy exercises, etc. you can always do sumn that won't hinder your recovery but will actually aid in the pursuit of your goals and overall health

nah, you do them at weights you maintain good form on and steadily increase the load week to week. Stronglifts 5x5 is a pretty simple programme but people itt might be able to recommend others. At some point you'll plateau though as you can only increase weights so much, at that point you work on other variables like increasing reps at lower weights etc to break through those plateaus

Damn squats are just pure misery

still got them reps in though

First week of squats and my legs literally feel like I won’t be able to use them again.

Today's pump for the delts was pretty sick

Did some deadlifts after not doing them for like almost a year

Goals

Shoulder joints been f***ed for damn near a week
I need to do a proper warm up before working out man
