Finally able to do weighted lunges after a month of IT band discomfort. Any tips?

Sunday workout💞

Gave up on my summer cut because I was feeling too skinny. Feeling like a unit today. Should I go back to cutting or maintain?

I started working out in 2016 when I weighed less than 80lbs. But picture on the left is from 2020 and the second is from today. I’m estimating the amount of weight I gained between these two pictures since it was so long ago. Some of my favorite workouts that got me here are deadlifts, lunges, hip thrusts, and leg press.

Friday workout! Some days I still feel too skinny and like a pipsqueak but looking at these pictures side by side helps.

First pic is from 2020, second 2022, third is from 2026. Now I’m 5’3 and about 150lbs. When I started working out 10 years ago I weighed less than 80 lbs. I am naturally skinny with no curves so it has cost me a great deal to gain weight and muscle. I have terrible genetics so if I can do it anyone can! My secret has been to strength train and stay consistent but I need to push myself harder and focus more on my diet. Goal is to get past 155 by 2027
