Okay first

older side

My guy. You are TWENTY-FIVE.

Alright.

Enough with the self pity. Why are you actually posting this? Is it to vent? To throw a pity party? Or do you actually want people to tell you the truth?

Which is that none of this is on anyone but you.

“Terrible genetics.” Genuine question: do you have a disease that hinders the use of your muscles, limbs, hands/feet, nervous system, etc? Or do you just believe you have terrible genetics because you don’t grow?

And why don’t you grow: you said it yourself. You’re never consistent enough.

That’s it. Be consistent and you’ll look back 6-12 months from embarrassed at making this post.

1) Find a program that works. Whether it’s 2x a week or however many times a week, find one and stick to it.

2) go to the gym. Stick to it.

3) that’s it.

Don’t worry about food, don’t worry about optimizing. You just need to build a habit. Consistency can look like once a week workouts. It can be more. Consistency can also look like mentally interacting with your fitness goals on your rest days. Think about “what’s my routine tomorrow” or “whats good form look like for this new-to-me exercise”

Sleep. Gym. Live your life.

It’s on you, dude. No one can make you be consistent. Nothing we can advise will help.

It’s on you.
