Used to be 270 lbs and couldn’t climb a flight of stairs without losing my breath. Now I’m 212 and deadlifting more than some guys at my gym 😏
No crash diets, no gimmicks just years of showing up, learning macros and treating my body like something I actually care about.
I’m not done yet next stop 190 lbs and abs for the first time in my life.
Age ain’t the issue excuses are.
Heavy squats and leg presses kill knees over time what do you do to keep them healthy long-term??
Not 100% happy but way better than I used to be maintenance mode hits different tho
Trying to decide if it’s worth keeping in a hypertrophy-focused plan.
Mornings if I’ve eaten well But night sessions always hit harder overall
Night lifts all day Body just feels more awake and joints don’t ache as much
It was accepting that consistency beats perfection.
Once I stopped chasing instant results, everything clicked
Realizing progress isn’t always visible.
Some weeks you just maintain
Not every session has to be a PR Some days are just about showing up
