| Fitness Transformation / 14 Months / 24, 145lbs - 25, 172lbs 5'10" Posted: 26 Oct 2020 10:35 PM PDT Small backstory to start; I was dealing with a great deal of depression and had quit working out for a long time, lost my father, ended up being diagnosed with bipolar disorder and basically spent a year sitting in a chair doing nothing but eating rarely and poorly. The main point taken should be that I had a lot of 'easy' gains to make in the beginning just from eating properly and then muscle memory of course as I had been quite fit previously. Alrighty then so let's start, here is the transformation different bathroom/lighting but I can't really do much about that, not flexing in the first photo, but it would like exactly the same, as I had spent 10-ish days vomiting prior to it as I have cannabinoid hyperemesis and I'm an idiot about it. So yeah, a pretty low starting place. Anywho, here is my current workout plan with my max lifts at this time. (Or at least what should be). I started back in the gym by going just 3 days/week with a generic bro split. My goal at the time was to just get healthy again. For a long time, I continued with this, slowly regaining my passion for fitness. At a point, I was back to 6 days/week but not tracking anything as I use to keep a workout book and write in it religiously. Now I'm on month 3 of this plan which is similar to the Matt Ogus 7/5/3 I had done in the past, but just something I found on Google that was similar. Then I added my own accessory worked based on what I wanted to work on. Basically, I keep track of each workout in a small notebook and write down the exercises/sets/weight/reps. My goals for the gym are just to increase size and strength while being able to look in the mirror and think "hey, I look nice". So, staying somewhat lean and really bulking or at least dirty bulking is the goal. Outside of the gym, I started running, maybe 3 weeks ago. My big goal is to run a half marathon under 2 hours I stretch daily, wake up, foam roll, gym, foam roll, adequate warm-ups, all that jazz. I should probably stretch longer and more, but y'know, work in progress type of thing. Nutrition, I don't track macros, I have no goals for protein, carbs, fats, I just eat what I know if lean and healthy (or somewhat healthy). I've done 2 cuts before, the second one being quite successful in dropping to single digit bf % and I myfitnesspal'd everything I ate. So I'm not tracking, but I'm generally aware I'm consuming a high protein low-fat diet. So I'll list what I eat below; Breakfast:2 packs of quaker oatmeal (high protein ideally), 2 eggs, a bagel + cream cheese, 2 hashbrown patties. Variants depend on what I have, but that's pretty much the daily, of course, I sometimes have 1 less pack of oatmeal or no eggs, dependant on how hungry I am/time crunch. Also sometimes just have a bowl of cereal like Vector. Turkey bacon is nice too, but kind of expensive. Snacks/Lunch: Sandwich with deli--meat such as ham/chicken + cheese + light mayo (and maybe peppers if I'm feeling less lazy). Apples, bananas, carrots, rice crackers (specifically chocolate/caramel), I make a protein smoothie with 2% Olympic greek yogurt, a banana, mixed frozen berries, and a scoop of creatine. (That's usually a postworkout thing). Also, I currently have these Costco protein bars that are pretty good but not lasting long. (Also my Mom bought them for me, hence the caption). Dinner: Usually just meals preps of chicken/ground beef/ fish (rarely)/ and rice and veggies. Example. I honestly mostly eat chicken though since a big box goes on sale for quite a good price. That being said I still treat myself every now and then. Goals: Main lifting goals are to OHP 225lbs, Deadlift 500lbs, Squat 405lbs, and Bench 315lbs. And running is still the half marathon under 2hours. Other than that I want to increase mobility with stretching more and doing yoga. [link] [comments] |
