Wannabe LEAN! 2020 T-ransformation

When I left the gym my arms were destroyed. I was shaking trying to hold my phone lol. 30 minutes later they feel like I never went to the gym today. You could still be right though, just hate I feel so fresh.

I hate my arms. It makes me want to quit working out and just go back to being fat and lazy.

Im kinda like that too although I get a much better pump after taking a break. I feel like that about my legs. They wont grow and Ive tried everything!

My legs were growing pretty good when I was squatting. I’ve given that up for now though, just too much pain.

I have a pretty big torso, it makes my arms and legs look incredibly stupid looking.

Looks solid to me. Dips and weighted dips are some of my favorites. Triangle hand placement pushups putting your nose to your hands is a great finisher as well! Just keep at it. Your arms will grow!

I struggle with dips. They are hard lol. Being heavy doesn’t help eiether.

If your at a commercial gym just use the machine where you can add weight to offset some of your own. That or a seated dip press machine. Both are good options

You kinda sound like you have lots of estrogen.

I like this one for the overhead tricep extension/long head tricep.

On the bench

Or across the bench if you want to get more dramatic

Maybe I’ve rebounded and now I’m an emotional bitch :joy:. It really does drive me crazy and cause bad thoughts.

I’ll add those in as well

I’ve been doing those at this gym. I do a few sets of body weight dips. I’m usually good for a couple sets of 10, then I use the weighted assist to failure a couple times, then move on to seated dip machine.

I assume you are referring to your estrogen. My wife and I joke about that I have a better idea how she feels during that time of the month than any body else LOL When I first went on I had an out of body experience once. Now I see it coming and control it (with chocolate obv).

So far I can tell when it’s low, but I’ve never been able to feel when it gets high. It’s probably never been high :joy:. I definitely understand what my wife goes through more now, hormones ain’t no joke!

Any time I’m struggling to gain weight I do a 3 (admittedly kind of stupid) things.

1: I normally drink 1 litre of Gatorade when I workout, when I want to gain weight, I add juice crystals to it. That’s 200 calories I don’t notice consuming at all.

2: 2 tablespoons of olive oil before bed. Almost 250 calories, and you can down it like taking a shot even if you’re so full you can’t take another bite of food.

3: if you really wanna go for it: doughnut before every workout

I’m gonna dissent here, my man. Anything that isn’t a long term plan for success is going to lead to misery here. You’re a self-admitted life long fat kid. Eating like a fat kid to gain weight at all costs is going to lead to being a fat kid.

What we need to do is find you a program that you’re going to stick with, and have you run it while eating a solid diet. Rice and bland chicken every day is unsustainable. Rotating turkey chili, ground beef meat sauce, steak, salmon, and chicken - that’s a way to keep moving.

Crash diets don’t last for people who put on weight quickly, and extreme bulks only pile fat on. No shortcuts here.

Right on many points, especially the nasty chicken.

Tried some ā€œmonster mashā€ for the first time tonight for this weeks meal prep. It’s decent, but next time it will be better.

3.5 pounds of ground sirloin, 3 pounds of lean ground turkey, sautĆ©ed onions and mushrooms, and rice all mixed together with a decent amount of bone broth poured on it to keep it juicy. Fresh it’s pretty good, we shall see how it goes this week being reheated. I had some cherry tomatoes for it but forgot. I wish I’d have added spinach as well.

If you need some more calories throughout the day drinking more milk is a pretty easy way to do it imo, assuming you’re not lactose intolerant lol

Got to see a real life ninja!!! So much cringe. I really didn’t think this stuff went on in gyms and y’all were all crazy. Dude was throwing kicks and doing fight poses in ever mirror. The look on his face, I’d bet my paycheck he was thinking ā€œdamn I’m one bad MF’er… these guys mirrinā€.

Got to see some typical douche bags too, every day is arm day type. These guys had nice arms, but I was twice as wide :joy:

Currently drinking a 1100 calorie protein shake and then fixing to down some mega stuff Oreos!!!

Another thing I’m kinda proud of. even though I’m not doing a whole laundry list of exercises, I’m in there killin it with no breaks or sitting there playing on my phone. Gym was packed when I got there and I left before any of the people who were there before me. Lots of intensity

No workout today. Got a promotion at work today! Big pay bump and more responsibility lol

Pro- money , closer to home, fancy title
Cons- leaving a group of guys I call family.

Celebrating with tacos, mega stuffed Oreos, and whole milk!
