Sorry, I guess I confused myself. You seem to be pretty consistent and dedicated to this. What are your goals?

well , current goal is to Step on stage for the first time late next year or early 2028. Another goal is to get as big as I possibly can before I’m to old 😬
 
Fasted 180.7

Felt some pain in my right shoulder doing pulldowns. This isn’t the injured shoulder either lol i just stopped the set and lowered the weight and it was fine.

I been using the stim free pre workout from ryse since Christmas. GNC didn’t have any and I was stuck buying something else. Figured I’d try the stim free sweedish fish from gorilla mind. 🤮 this shit sucks lol it’s chalky and WAYYY to sweet. It gives makes me feel full as fuck from how sweet it is. I just popped it open yesterday too I got over a month of this garbage to use.

This weeks step counter. Been slacking on posting these

Well shit man. If I'm shooting you straight, it's probably time to reevaluate then. I'm in the same boat as you. I'm two years into bodybuilding and 35 years old. I don't have much time left. 🤣

Like I said earlier, you seem very dedicated. I can't imagine putting as much effort into bodybuilding as you do for an entire year and coming out 3lbs down. Granted, you are leaner this year, but you look maybe 5lbs leaner. 1-2lbs of tissue in a year? You can do that as a natty so why go through the stress of gear and dedicate your time to the gym and food prep when you aren't getting much out of it.

If your goal is really what you say it is, have you thought about hiring a coach that knows how to put muscle on guys? Go look what Monte has done with Erock.. Dude has transformed in a year putting the same amount of effort in as you.

Not trying to be a hater at all, so I hope you don't take it like that. We should all look out for each other on here. That's all I'm trying to do. I have huge respect for your work ethic and that's the only reason I'm taking the time to write this.

I do work with a coach since may last year. i I was in a deficit up until October last year lol u must not have read back far enough in the log. I came out of my cut in October then got injured at work and couldn’t train for 3 months other then leg extension and leg curls. I was 165 at the end of my cut so just about 15lbs since December when I started training again. 💪

Damn that sucks! Three months is a long time. But what happened to the other 9 months? Your goal and your progress don't align. That's all I'm trying to point out. I'd hate to see someone like you who actually sticks to a plan and executes on a daily basis waste another year of their time.

We trimmed all the fat off in the pics I posted , u along with a couple set back weeks of me partying to much on vacations lol the one week I put on atleast 10lbs in August lol that was a big set back. we didn’t start trying to put weight on me until after I was cleared for my injury late December. We slowly increased calories so I didn’t put a shit ton of fat on. I think it’s working pretty well 🤷‍♂️

Thankfully I buy the cream of rice out of my own pocket and not our grocery money lol my girl probably already wants to kill me. I tell her all the time I eat big now then our grocery bill gets super low for a couple months when I’m dieting down so it evens out.
 
Had no issues eating today. The 950 was pretty easy to hit.

This is the Food for the day today. I eat the same shit everyday for the most part. Mostly just the protien sources change. Tonight it’s filet. But usually it’s ground chicken , ground beef or ground turkey.

Last meal for the day. I’m struggling with the high carbs now😬 I’m bloated as fuck and struggled to put every meal down today. My dinner was not a good choice either lol I chose gnocchis. No bueno. That was the hardest one to put back. It probably took me 30-35 mins to eat. Hopefully my body adjusts to these macros. I’m totally looking forward to Tuesday when I don’t have to eat shit 😂 my body weight tomorrow will be over 190. I can already tell by how I feel.
