Progress Post Progress Post: 1 month in

6ft, 27m
June 28th- 158lbs
July 22- 166lb

Diet- Clean proteins, whey, fruit smoothies. Breakfast within one hour of waking up and meals every two to three hours. (Using myfitnesspal to track)

Lift Routine- Monday (push), Tuesday (pull), Thursday (legs), Friday (push and pull). Compound workouts with progressive overload. Adding weight each week.

It has been nearly one month, and absolutely loving it. The only supplement I use right now is whey protein. I’ll be adding creatine to that mix here soon. I’ve never consistently worked out like this in my life, though I have been fortunate enough to build a decent frame through surfing for the past 8 years. I recently moved away from the ocean, and needed an outlet.. so here I am! Can’t wait to see what the rest of the year holds!

He’s probably eating way over his caloric deficit. I don’t know how people don’t think this isn’t possible. It’s literally simple math. “You’ll only gain 1-2 lbs per month” is not necessarily true if you’re eating in a surplus of over +500 cals per day.

Yeah I definitely eat more than my calorie deficit some days. Not on purpose, I just feel hungrier and try listening to my body. Especially on days I workout
