Welcome to Meso, can you give us a run down of your lifting experience and what your doing now diet and workout?
I have only been lifting for 5 years. Hit some ups and downs on my journey so far, as we all do. At the moment, my diet is not even close to what is needed for my goals. I don't plan meals i don't count calories or macros, I stay away from candy and soda, although I will rarely indulge in some ice cream or root beer when we go out to eat. My lady is laotion and she is a dream cone true, all the food I get to eat because of her and her family is just fucking amazing, homemade pho with hella tendon, ox tail, meat balls, and so much steak, the chicken laap, the sweets, o my god, everything coconut and pandan and taro, ube, damn, fried bananas with coconut ice cream, coconut sticky rice with mango, Im drooling and that's just a couple things. So yea, i have no diet, i just eat. And Im fucking lean, like hella lean for eating the way i do, Im blessed with genetics ina lot of ways, except my acne prone skin. Gains come easy as long as i eat enough and train every day. Right now my consistency is off, no excuse,although i could make some up, lol, i neglect legs too much recently along with my lower back because of an injury i had last year, still working on getting 100% back to where i was before with squats, rack pulls and deads but that spot on my glute/hip/back starts acting up everytime, Im learning how to stretch it out and my lady helps with massaging, i will go to a chiro soon. I love incline dumbbells, they were my first love in the gym. I couldn't bench shit and some guy recommended that i do incline dumbbell press a lot to get my strength up, so i did, along with military, and my already gifted shoulders blew up to my most outstanding body part, after many ups and downs i am happy to say i am back to hitting the 120's on incline with no spotter for more than 5 reps, so Im on the right track. Tonight with be strictly chest with only isolation movements and also calfs, my arms and shoulders need a rest. Tomorrow should be legs if meals and rest go down in a way that allows me enough energy and fuel to efficiently train my trunks. I like to hit a lot of reps 12-15 and a lot of sets for each movement i do, i love volume, it makes me grow, along with a heavy set for most movents, concentration on contraction and form are my main concerns. Always. I see great potential in myself and am honestly ashamed that i have let myself lag behind for so long. But, i will do better.
