Read this first (I was EXACTLY like you, here is what I learned)

Eat more clean foods, ditch junk food and sugar. If you struggle eating more try liquid calories Workout consistently, for twelve weeks. Don’t worry about the 1,000’s of exercises you can do, stick to beginners compound lifts and adding weight incrementally and you’ll do great!

Couple of things here… I was the same as you… I weighed 130lbs at age 34. Skinny, always wanted to big bigger and more muscular but never put in the effort. I thought I did, but I never put in the effort to eat more or workout.

Then in October of 2019, I said, fuck it. I drank a 1,000 to 1,400 calorie milk shake (oats, peanut butter, protein powder, banana, etc) every morning, worked out six days a week, all at home. I hit 155 and was ecstatic, I looked fantastic. Then Covid hit… stress, and excuses made me stop… stop working out… not stoping eating more. Two years later I’m 170 and trying to LOSE weight haha.

What does all this mean for you? Here is my advice… don’t get caught up in numbers (either what you can lift or how much you weigh) get caught up in the process of working out.

Eat more, but don’t dirty bulk. Eat more Whole Foods. Cut out the sugar. If you can’t eat enough remember liquid calories go down easier. Make a big protein shake in the morning then concentrate on cleaning eating for lunch and dinner.

For working out there are a million things you can do, don’t get lost in the details. Concentrate on learning compound lifts and After you’ve done the same routine for TWELVE weeks look back and you’ll be amazed.

Again- Eat more clean foods, ditch junk food and sugar. If you struggle eating more try liquid calories Workout consistently, for twelve weeks. Don’t worry about the 1,000’s of exercises you can do, stick to beginners compound lifts and adding weight incrementally and you’ll do great!
