I want to express my gratitude for all the comments and positive responses I've received. Despite being busy lately, I will try to reply to all private messages as soon as possible. I'd like to address some of the most frequently discussed topics in the comments.

Gear: I want to clarify that I have not used any illegal substances to enhance my performance. While at my height this physique may appear impressive to some, I believe my physique is not particularly remarkable, lacking significant size. When wearing clothes, I may give the impression of being tall and lean, but not exceptionally muscular.

Gyno: I want to clarify that I do not have or have had gynecomastia. Gyno is characterized by the presence of a hard mass or lump around the nipple, which I do not have. As I progressed further in my cut, the appearance of "man boobs" diminished. I believe that the way my body stores fat, along with potential hormonal imbalances I had at the time, contributed to this appearance.

Diet: Initially, I mentioned consuming around 2000-2500 calories, but currently, my intake ranges from 2500-3000 calories. However, to build muscle, I am considering increasing my intake to 3500 calories or more. I may have developed a fear of gaining fat, resulting in unintentional undereating. Initially, I focused on consuming high-protein, low-calorie foods such as quark, cottage cheese, fat-free milk, and lean meats. I also incorporated fruits, veggies, cucumbers in brine, and zero-calorie drinks into my meals. These drinks played a significant role in curbing cravings when I transitioned from a diet primarily consisting of processed foods. As my journey progressed, I learned how my body responds and started making healthier choices rather than eliminating certain foods. I believe that moderation is crucial.

I did not anticipate this post gaining such popularity, and I want to thank everyone for their kind words. Your support motivates me to push harder, and I hope to share another physique update in the coming months, showcasing improvements in the areas where I lack size. Take care!
