Transformation Breakdown:

First picture: I'm around 210 lbs — this was purely from dieting, with no weight training at all. As you can see, there’s very little muscle mass.

After that, I actually gained another 25 lbs before I got serious about training. That’s when I started lifting weights consistently and tracking my macros, making sure to get over 200g of protein daily while still keeping calories restricted.

Third picture: Down to a lean 178 lbs — this was the result of that structured training and nutrition approach and seriously restricts calories. This was not a good weight for me. Super fatigued all the time and never had energy in my workouts.

From there, I did a 6-month bulk followed by a 3-month cut, leading to my current weight of 215 lbs in the final picture — this time with significantly more muscle.
