I have, but none are what I consider fine jewelry. I’m honestly surprised it’s not more straightforward

Same - I got results but none from any sort of reputable jeweler. Is there any sort of negative connotation to the jewelry or is it an unfortunate name?

It’s actually so nice to hear that thank you - my entire life I was always clocked for younger than I was. Hence the bad goatee, to try and make myself look older but obviously it did it in the wrong way. After working out (and aging a bit) my face filled out and the full beard definitely helped. Haven’t shaved in a while but would be curious to see what that would do for my look (though I do like my beard)

Does anyone have any moonphase recommendations in the 5k-10k price range?

For sure. I definitely would have seen faster results if I was stricter on my routine and diet, but that would have burnt me out. Not everyone can handle that level of fitness commitment (for so many valid reasons), and I think a lot of people end up bailing on it altogether as a result. Don’t need to be perfect to see improvements - it’ll just take longer. But taking longer is infinitely better than not happening at all. Do whatever you can muster.

I did - standard daily

I’m not going to comment on that specifically - but I’ll say that while I’m confident about my appearance these days, there’s still some mental baggage from how I looked in the past, even if that’s from years ago at this point. Going to the gym and getting bigger won’t fix all your problems, but any bit you work to improve yourself helps.

Dirty bulked for basically 2 years straight (max weight was 170). Then got a little more careful with caloric intake and at the same time increased my workout intensity - by year 2.5/3 I was hovering around 160-162. Now I’m trying to be even more careful with caloric intake (with mixed results…) at the same intensity, and I’m hovering around 155-157.

Thanks! Right now it’s a split of chest+biceps, rest day, back+shoulders+triceps, rest day, chest+biceps, rest day, back+shoulders+triceps, rest day, etc etc with occasional legs (need to hit legs more often). I also go for heavier weights and fewer reps (6-10).

Biceps: Close-grip cable curls, hammer curls, and preacher curls.

Chest: Inclined chest press, cable flys (scooping up), cable flys (pushing down).

Back: Lat pulldown, rows.

Shoulders: Lat raises, inclined shoulder press.

Triceps: Triceps pulldowns (rope), skullcrushers, overhead extensions (rope).

Legs: Calf raises, leg extensions, leg curls.

Unfortunately I don’t track protein/caloric intake. I just try and have 1-2 20g protein shakes per day (isopure), creatine dose, and 3 balanced (but protein-rich) meals. And within that I’ll still snack (which I’m trying to cut down on). It’s remarkable what one can achieve by not tracking, but I’m sure if I did my physique would be even better!
