long way to go? you've come a long way already from that before picture. something to be very proud of.

Thanks, you guys have made me see it as a lifelong journey. I went from out of shape to the beginning of in-shape. Once I’m done leaning out it’s time to have fun with conditioning and growth.

One day I might even have the courage to dip my toes into the shallow end of power-lifting. That seems to be the hardest challenge of all of them.

Personally I'd focus on gaining muscle at this point. Raise that metabolism. You're green enough you can eat at a surplus and hit the weights and cardio hard, lose fat and gain muscle.

Thanks, that decision has been my inner struggle every week. Can’t convince myself if it’s a really good idea or if I’m getting overly anxious and cutting things short. Great to hear it from other people.

Lets say you gain 20lbs and stay the same bf, which means you are gaining fat and muscle. You will look much better. And be stronger. And have a higher metabolism.

And thats not not going to be the case. I believe you can further reduce Bf while gaining muscle and eating more. You have Spongy and the work ethic.

Newbie gains are real.

Go for it.

It’s been awhile since I’ve updated this... in the post-weight loss pre-gainz grind...

Doc doubled my new BP meds and it’s a steady 115/71 so I’m now on the other side of average. Found out I had low T at 263 total. I’m going to a consult later this week on TRT... time to test me free T and decide what I’m going to do this year.

Today I hit chest... sadly I usually avoid it, even preferring to over-train legs instead

Tri-set
5x12 Machine flys
5x12 Decline cable flys (I’m in love with the nautilus freedom trainer now)
5x12 HS Decline Press

Regular sets
6x10 DB Incline press

Superset
3x20 Leg abduction machine
3x20 Machine pullovers

Regular sets
5x10 Dips (chest)

 

[automatondan]

Nice work dude. Thats a lot of volume too...

 

[Metalhead1]

Best of luck on getting trt if you choose that route. It will definitely be a game/life changer
