25M - 3 years of weight lifting later (150lbs to 175lbs)

25M - 3 years of weight lifting later (150lbs to 175lbs)

This is mainly a byproduct of me joining a gym and working out consistently 4-5 days a week after a little more than 3 years. I lean bulked and steadily gained 25 pounds, I would center my gym routine on progressive overload (do three sets of 8-12 reps and increase the weight by 5lbs whenever I could achieve 3 sets of 12 reps for that exercise with a specific weight) and utilized myfitnesspal in order to ensure that I only consume only 200-300 calories above what’s considered maintenance in regard to my daily caloric intake every day. As for protein, I make sure to consume 0.7 grams of protein for every pound I weight. So now I consume at least 122.5 grams of protein per day.

The first photo is after two months of me going to the gym and the second photo is after 3 years and 3 months of me going to the gym.

So there’s a 3 years and 1 month gap.
