I have offically smashed my first goal of 170 pounds by gaining 4.5 pounds this last week! I also had my partner take my measurements to log them (first 3 pictures) and compare them to my measurements from before I started hitting the gym 16 weeks ago (last picture). Fuck. Yes.

Hell yeah, pull day today felt great in the gym! All I have left for the week is leg day tomorrow morning and Sunday is rest and yoga. Then the split begins all over again Monday! Woof!
Back in the gym this morning after almost 3 weeks off because of the house renovations.
Weighed in, I only lost 1.5 pounds of muscle mass, 2.5 pounds overall. My workout today was upper body push + core + 2 rounds of cardio. I maintained the same reps in some exercise sets, and I increased reps in a few others. Burnt around 550 kcal in an hour, and feeling great, even with my arms and abs being smoked.
Tomorrow is leg day + core + 2 rounds of cardio, and I’m ready for it.
i think I'm gonna add barbell rows to my routine again. need to get my back thicker

apparently this also applies to deadlifts #gym #workout #gymposting #MondayMotivation #flex
4+ years of growth with a lot of setbacks in between. Now I'm just over 200 lbs at 5'9"
About a 35 lb difference from the before to after. Feels good, but still more work to do! 😤😤

Recently learned about this really awesome deadlift cue to prep your hips for hinging, and to prime your body to feel tension on hamstrings and glutes while you're performing the lift. I always start with very little or no weight, and this foam roller trick with no weight was great today to cue my hips to move right!
Anyone have similar little things to do before you lift?
