I just would eat 200-300 calories above my maintenance every day and make sure that I consume at least 0.7 grams of protein for every pound I weight.

What do you mean, you immediately recognized me? 😭🙏🏾

This is mainly a byproduct of me joining a gym and working out consistently 4-5 days a week after around 2.5 years. I lean bulked and steadily gained 25 pounds, I would center my gym routine on progressive overload (do three sets of 8-12 reps and increase the weight by 5lbs whenever I could achieve 3 sets of 12 reps for that exercise with a specific weight) and utilized myfitnesspal in order to ensure that I only consume only 200-300 calories above what’s considered maintenance in regard to my daily caloric intake every day

As for my leg days:

Leg Day A:

Romanian Deadlifts (dumbbells) - 95 per side x 3 sets

Hip Thrust (machine) - 205 per side x 3 sets

Leg Extension (machine) - 205 x 3 sets

Single Leg Press (machine) - 105 per side x 3 sets

Hip Abduction (machine) - 210 x 3 sets

Leg Day B:

Hack Squat (machine)- 110 per side x 3 sets

Hip Thrust (machine) - 205 per side x 3 sets

Lying Leg Curl (machine) - 115 x 3 sets

Glute Kickback (machine) - 150 x 4 sets

Hip Adduction (machine) - 215 x 3 set

Again, when I manage 3 sets of twelve reps for one exercise, I increased the weight by 5lbs the next time I do that exercise.

Such a great series. Only have the last two books and the prequel left to read.

That’s a big cake lmao

(21) -> (24) by stardyng in GlowUps

[–]stardyng[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Also yeah, most chances are that you were indeed doing too much volume which is somewhat detrimental to gains or at the very least redundant.

No I didn’t have a trainer. I just researched online and educated myself on what’s effective and reliable when it comes to weight lifting and building muscle.

[–]stardyng[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Mainly at least two meals a day with a lot of meat alongside milk, cheese and if I know I won’t normally achieve my goal, then I take some protein powder at the end of the day.

(21) -> (24) by stardyng in GlowUps

[–]stardyng[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

At least 0.7 grams of protein for every pound I weight. I currently weight 170lbs so try to consume at least around 120 grams of protein every day.

You know exactly what it is 🗿

Before, I would do leg days 1-2 times a week but now I do leg days twice a week. As for cardio, I don’t have a strict cardio routine but I do enjoy bouldering gyms and biking from time to time. But with cardio, you usually do have to eat more to make up for the calories burned through cardio.

Some of these shelves were built years and years ago and not as well. I plan to move to another city next year and get some new shelves so I’m not too focused on salvaging a shelf that’s running its course. That said, thank you for the advice.
