11 months of lifting! Feeling more confident.

Started in November of 2025. Here’s to another year! Want to really dial in on my macros and maybe higher a trainer to see where I can take it.

Me in my early 30s and now in my early 50s

The one thing that I've learned is that consistency is better than perfection. You don't have to always eat perfect or never miss a workout but if you get to the 80% consistency sweet spot, you'll be set for life.

My Workout and Diet Plan During My YKS Exam Year

I am 18 years old, 177 cm tall, and weigh 67 kg; when I wrap my hands around my waist from behind, it feels really fatty. Also, my glutes are completely flat when viewed from the side, which makes my waist look much thicker—I’ve become obsessed with this and feel like I’m obese. My goal is to burn fat, slim down my waist, build muscle, and strengthen my glute muscles a bit. I’m bottom gay and i need a big ass. I don't really train my legs because they are already quite thick. Since I’m studying for the YKS exam, I spend most of the day sitting, so I’ve set my calorie intake to a lower level. I’ve included my nutrition and workout plan below. Do you think I can burn fat, build muscle, and achieve an aesthetic physique with this program?

Gym locker room

So Im jot a fitness jock bit I do go to the gym and walk on the treadmill and I swim laps. 98% of guys in the locker room have a towel on their waist. My locker is 10ft from the showers. I have the worst body in the gym but not ashamed of it. Sometimes I feel like guys are judging me. Should I be concerned about how they feel about me being naked for 2 minutes? All guys love being naked and if erections were normalized 100% of guys would be naked.

2 Months difference

I feel like the cut paid off. Physically yes, mentally no. Lighting certainly helped here.

What do you listen to during your workouts?

I used to listen to podcasts and audiobooks, but now much prefer music. Better for background noise so I can focus on my lifting.

What do you all listen to, and is there anyone that prefers not listening to anything at all?
