26M, 6’1, 71kg -> 77kg, 9 months
So this is the first year in a long time where I’ve really tried to be consistent in the gym and with my diet, my original goal was to try and hit 80kg within a few months however due to the nature of my job which is extremely physical with a lot of walking I’ve really struggled to consistently stay in a calorie surplus. To be honest I gave up trying to count my calories 2 months in and instead just focus on ensuring my diet is good with plenty of protein.
I workout 4-5 days a week, just a regular push/pull/legs split. I’ve recently started to really push the progressive overload and go as heavy as possible and push to failure with fewer reps and sets. The overhead press has become a staple of my push days and has been a game changer for my upper body.
Having a long torso and long arms and legs I’ve always felt like my progress is slower than others but I finally feel like I’m getting somewhere and I’m excited to see where I am in another few months.
Thanks for the motivation everyone and feel free to ask any questions.
