Story time:
Got out the sauna last night and started to get my stuff to chance, guy behind me had his locker above mine. Told him he could get his stuff first cuz I was about to change but he said it was fine and he lingered. I took off my shorts

Normally around this time of year I buy gym clothes, but focused on getting more lifting gear and a bigger bag.
Decided to post some pics of the fits I bought last year tho to keep me from overspending and doing both 😂

Btw October was my 2 year mark of working out!
Black shorts were when I started, blue was from today's post push day.
New apartment, new haircut, new job, (generally) happier & healthier, and definitely thicker and stronger. 💪🏿🐻
And better lighting!

I fear I'm dangerously close to crashing out on one of these straight men at this gym who do not wash their hands after using the bathroom.
ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY DON'T WIPE DOWN THE ME MACHINES 🤬

Gonna sound pretentious but stick with me:
I fear I've gymed too hard and now on dating profiles the first comment I get is on my body and then it gets too sexual too quick, or they have no follow up and are dry texters. Mind you, maybe 2/6 pics are me shirtless or flexing.

Anyone else have a love/hate relationship with their belly? Like I dont want it gone completely, but sometimes I dont love it.

Ive been wanting to switch gyms for a minute but the number of thick beefy guys at this keeps increasing by like, 2 a week.

Hit 315 for 2 on my squats AND almost got to 10 minutes in the stairs at 5 speed (I wad dying around 5 minutes about 3 weeks ago).
My lefy knee has been giving me trouble so I have been super cautious and taking it slow. So glad I did ☺️ now time to work on for and hit my goal of 315x3!

Ive been getting alot of compliments on my arms lately and the word beefy has been used multiple times by dudes like 2 times my size 😳
Ig I can finally admit adding an arm & Cardio day worked in my favor. Might switch it up and do a chest & Cardio next month.

One of the best push days I've had in a minute. Was feeling extra beefy so I actually flexed IN the gym rather than the comfort of my home 😂.
Great way to start off the new month.

Push day today sucked, I think my set up was wrong my triceps got overworked....
I finally managed to make this protein packed stroganoff tho. Cottage cheese isn't that bad when you season it well and add actual cheese!

Since I moved so much at my 2nd job I was hesitant to go hard on leg days recently. Since I put in my 2 weeks yesterday I figured I can start ramping it up again.
Set a few PRs too.

Damn I do miss having a personal trainer. I hold back a small bit when I exercise because I am very cautious of bad injuries, and im too nervous to record myself to check for. Hopefully next year or 2 I can afford one again.
Plus some of y'all have good friendships with yours 😭

Got my Factor Meals today. Tried the 1st one, not bad with some salt pepper and garlic powder.
Have also started tracking calories again. I typically do slightly rough estimates on certain things so its probably less protein than what's actually listed and slightly more calories.

More thoughts:
I've set 2 separate goals:
October is my 2 year mark of exercising consistently so I wanna hit those 315s by then. Also added getting to 205 on incline bench.
By end of year is when I wanna do the pull up & dip. Im pretty close with the dips, so i think thats good progress!

Think ive finally set on some fitness goals for 2025:
-DL to 315
-Back Squat 315
-Stairs for 10 minutes nonstop
-Streches are relatively pain free
- 1 unassisted pull-up
- 1 unassisted dip
-Maintain 240-250lbs
