Hi fellow shorties, I wanted to share my progress (goal: build muscle, lower BFP) cuz I'm proud of it and I did not think I could actually build muscle like this. Still not where I ultimately want to be but are we ever? 😂

Pics are from June 21st 2025, September 2nd 2025, October 26th 2025 (this is depicted twice), and May 10th 2026. Went up from 53 kg to 60 kg in a year (so BFP is not quite lowered yet).

I'm a bit insecure about the difference between the last two photos (Oct 2025 vs. Jun 2026). I feel like progress has been almost stagnating and I think I can see a difference in size, but I'm not so sure so I wanted to hear what you think?

Routine details for the bot:

I lift anywhere between 2-4 times a week. I followed an upper/lower split most of the time. I try to go as heavy as I can over a rep range of 6-8. Some exercises I have a higher rep range though (10-15). I do almost no cardio but would like to change that.

My diet is lacking but I aim for 120-150g Protein. Calories are varying wildly as of rn 😂 So anywhere between 1300-2000 (pls don't judge, I know I should be consistent and I know 1300 is too little, I'm trying to develop a stable relationship to my eating habits + meal planning).

Challenges I'm facing is an overstimulated nervous system, so especially on heavy lower body days, I sometimes *just* miss a panic attack for some reason. Also I've been trying to cut a little but my strength isn't progressing in a cut, so I'm self conscious about lack of strength progress, but at the same time, I'm also self conscious about my BFP. Feel free to give any advice you got.

Warum lassen sich Glasdosen wunderbar abwaschen, aber Plastikdosen bleiben ewig fettig und schmierig, auch wenn man sie bereits mehrmals mit Schwamm und Spüli bearbeitet hat?
