Hello everyone! I have been into fitness consistently for the last ten years. I have always been "big boned" and the majority of my adult life weighting at 210ish. I'm 6ft tall. I first dabbled in lifting when I started college, but it wasn't very consistent. Once I hit 21 I was way over indulgent. Eating bad and a ton of drinking. I got back home from college and continued partying. I hit 230lb and my wife surprised me with dual gym memberships, hahah. This was about ten years ago and I have managed to shed quite a bit of weight by working out (mostly cardio) and eating better. I would hover between 190-200, until the pandemic hit. I utilized the extra free time to try to cut a little more. I hit 170lb, but slowly got back up to 180lb, because I felt that was a little more proportionate for me.
I guess I've always had mild body dysmorphia and I feel I'm not comfortable with my looks. I decided for the first time to really try to put on some muscle. So here I am, looking for advice to make my workouts for efficient. I have put on 15lbs since November and I feel I've had a nice bump in lean muscle mass. I'll make a different post later with some pics and my routine. Just want to be able to accomplish what I'm looking for, if I even know what that is, lol.
