Interesting post. Not sure you are aware of this, but I’m big into spirituality and woo woo shit - check this thread
It’s possible to walk around at 10% and maintain it, but difficult. You’re in love with the changes right now, and that’s great, but you’ll get bored, or tired of the routine, find other interests, and move on - probably.
I looked best at 196 and about 14%, but wanted to get leaner, so I dieted down to 174 and 11% and just looked skinny. So, check the mirror rather than the numbers, and focus on optimizing your health.
As far as the woo woo aspect, enjoy today brother. Don’t look forward to 200 and 10%, enjoy the process. You will want to mix it up at some point, maybe do some power lifting, switch up the split, maybe get into something else like strong man. Just enjoy the journey.
When I was in my best shape, my buddy would make me take off my shirt at parties because he thought I was a freak at 53 years old with abs and muscular. He loved it. I was kind of embarrassed about it because I knew it was the TRT. But my T levels were normal, so… And I wasn’t even really jacked.
I got bored with it and got into yoga. Got off T, dropped down to 174 a second time, looked even worse, lol.
Point being, albeit poorly made, this too shall pass. Enjoy it and be present.
Peace.
