"Fuck A Humble Brag" - Childish Gambino Now while I usually am humble in aspects like this. For those of you I coach in person... chill. I know Im an ass but it's because I am usually right :) Not only have I added over 30lbs to my bench in the last 8ish weeks, but my body composition is also way better than I intended it to be over the course of 2025. Dec 31st, I was 180.1lbs - 85lbs muscle - 27.6lb total fat mass (15.3%) I was at the peak of a not so healthy bulk and relationship with alcohol. Just eating whatever but still for the most part ok. Grinding it out. I decided to lock it in (minus the alcohol... Tampa fucks ok, I'm going to drink my tequila sodas) and by mid March my numbers were - 181 lbs - 88.6lbs muscle (+3) - 22.7 total fat mass (-5lb,12%). I was focusing on intensity over everything. Taking my big lifts to failure. Focusing on recovery like sleep. PROTEIN out the wazoo! I am for 200gs a day, that way when I fall short I am still hitting the target of my body weight in grams (180ish). I wanted to keep eating because of the desired muscle gain so I upped my daily body movement a tad (longer bike rides, more walking when possible, slightly more conditioning workouts). This week, End of May (pictured below) - 177.5lbs - 89.9 lbs muscle (+5 total) - 17.2 lbs fat mass (9.7%!!) 10 POUNDS of fat down, 5 POUNDS of muscle added. I feel fucking amazing and hope this can show you all that trusting the process is fucking worth it. All this done while still enjoying life! Rock concerts, raves, birthdays, tequila, all the shenanigans. Please never hesitate to show off your own progress in here, no matter what it is. We are all in this together and I appreciate the hell out of all of you for being in this community and trusting me as your guiding light with health and fitness. Cheers Dorks
