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!

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.

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.

Feeling not great on all fronts. But Im reminding myself that im not even 2 years into this, and that it takes people years to get to the goals I wanna get to. So here's to hitting it hard again this week (while also working a 2nd job for the summer😮💨)

None gym related:
Since I've moved here ive had horrible luck finding a consistent barber. So im taking it as a sign to delve into changing up my look. Kinda nervous cuz im horrible with haircare, but im gonna try to grow out my hair the next 6 months so that I can eventually work up to a frohawk.

Have had 0 energy these last 2 weeks. Lot of (good)work things, lot of worrying about finances...
Dragged myself to the gym today and did a leg day. Proud of myself for giving grace to me and instead of wrapping up early, I chose to focus on form for my squats, and really dig into everything else!

So hard to find a reliable barber around here. Anyway, last week was rough, mostly because of a horrible toothache that didn't subside completely till almost hours 12. Been awhile since did a Push day when I benched, but still managed to hit 225 again. Could've done 2 but I reset and lost it lol.

Leg day 2 makes the first 5-day workout week in awhile (I'll ignore the awful session I had Friday at PF while I was out of town).
Compress underwear is doing nothing for my butt here 😂 but it does make my thighs like muscular haha
