450th "serious" workout. Proud of being consistent

The 450 is from my current logs, I had older ones, but lost thrm

Rough stats:

25 years old

2 years very casual workouts

4 years of logging and trying to eat well

Hashimotos disease

Natty

85kg

180cm

Kinda fat without a shirt

Gym has helped me through a lot, and I'm happy that it's a hobby I share with my significant other.

Right now, I'm saving towards a small gym in my garage, as juggling what's left of university with my job is eating uo too much time. I want a soace for myself that doesn't need commute.

Being somewhat fit has been a confusing time to me. I'd gotten allegations of using gear by old classmates as soon as I began seeing any results, but in gym spaces, I often get called victim weight and shit like that. Too big for the newbies, too small for the highly experienced.

I suck at getting lean. I could blame the condition, but I'm on meds, and it should be getting better, but I really haven't felt properly energetic since I was a teenager. Slow and steady, I guess.

I've put my focus onto improving at my favorite lifts, as I know that hyper fixating on leanness won't do me any favors, if I'm already taking the necessary steos. The extra stress and body dysmorphia is something I'm glad I sheded in the first year of my journey.

My bench still sucks, but fir the mst part, many lifts have been progressing well for me.

Bench: 115kg 1RM (down to 107.5 after overuse injury)

Bent over row: 100kg x12

Pull up: bw+42kg x2

RDLs: 130kg x9

I cook 90% of my meals and aim for a reasonable 120~140g protein per day

I like my shoulders and calves :)
