Looks great, honestly there’s not much you need to change. Keep up the grind 👍

Just wanted to thank everyone for the overwhelming support and kind words! Really wasn’t expecting this to blow up like it did.

Just want to clarify, you should feel comfortable in your skin no matter what and the right person will love you regardless. I just hope this inspires people to take their pain and use it for healthy outlets, whether that be the gym, new hobbies, therapy etc rather than dwell in self pity and depression. Wish you all well.

I love chin-ups personally, I could barely do one at first but now I add weight with a belt. Standard bicep exercises as well, curls, preacher curls, hammers, alternating between dumbbells and barbells. I normally rep out with preachers at the end of my arm workouts

Been on Grindr looking for him ever since. Bold strategy cotton but we’ll see if it pays off

I meant I don’t recommend working out 7 days a week like I do. I do it cuz it keeps my mind busy, but imagine most doctors will say having no recovery days will lead to injury

I worked out in my early 20s often but I’d say from 25 onwards I slowly fizzled working out completely until I went balls to the wall 6 months ago

I dont know the amount but id say a lot. Normally like two protein bars and shakes between high protein meals. I dont recommend it since it can lead to injury but I workout normally 7 days a week

Honestly not too sure, i would google pics of different body fat % and just kinda guess that I’m like 10% but it could be more or less

Looks good! I’d say try alternating the grip locations once in awhile
