How it started vs. how it's going. This is the result of two years of consistency in the gym, and going on 5 months of a dialed in diet. If a fuck up like me can do this, so can you.

Happy Flex Friday! I had to move a lot of pictures off my phone today and went through a bunch of old gym selfies. I was reminded to give myself some grace and not be so critical. I've come along way. Be easy on yourself. It's a marathon, not a sprint.

My coach has really been fantastic. After each meal I go to his room, he takes a look at my physique and then fine tunes what the meal and water game plan going forward is. Water intake is now 2oz with every meal and 4 oz in between meals. This was today's progression.

Do you use a machine or dumbbells for lateral raises? Personally, I connect more with a machine. Nice and slow eccentric with a brief pause at the top. 4 sets of 10-12, 2x Week

@ElijahSchaffer I had sleep overs all the time growing up. Great times. We frequently have other kids sleep over at our house, and let our kids sleep over at their friends houses. The rule we have is we must meet their parents and visit their home before any sleepover. You're paranoid.

The additional 300 calories we added this week are translating into higher weights and intensity when training. Back is really my favorite muscle to train right now, these single arm cable rows especially. Really focusing a lot of effort on building wings & wheels right now.

If you're on here shaming people on TRT, I hope you're at least being consistent and also shaming people who take Ozempic to lose weight & those who inject botox to look younger. You're not though. It's only buff men with physiques you envy but are too lazy to have for yourself

I got the 10 reps I was going for, got greedy and went for 11. Nope. Not today! I'd never failed a leg press before so I had no idea how much I was about to get squished. I was fighting for my life. Thankfully it was minimal squishing, and only a broken blood vessel.

I used to be rather intimidated by the biggest guys in the gym. Their size and intensity they tend to bring can be unnerving. I've gotten to know a lot of them, and *without exception*, they're the kindest, gentlest, and most humble guys there. Don't judge a book by its cover.
