This was me last winter on a shitty diet and a pack a day habit at 34 years of age. Just quit smoking and I'm going to get back in the gym ASAP. This was at 165, if I eat like a horse I can get up to 185 but I just look disgusting and my knees **** me. So I'm aiming for 175 this year. I'll post up some pics of my before, usually takes me a month or two to get ripped. I walk around at 155 5'10 so I'm kinda skinny and have plenty of definition. We all know diet is a huge factor and for me that seems to be doubly so if I want any gains. This year I'm not playing around. Wish me luck.

So got my first Injury at the Gym. Seems like I pulled a muscle in the wrist/forearm lifting too much on the Easybar curling. Sucks because now Im down to half the weight I was doing before. Time to take it easy and get some straps for the wrists

Thanks man. Slowly getting there. Just takes persistence, consistency, and patience.

I would recommend working forearms into your arm routine. I work forearms twice a week doing various wrist curls to hit the different muscles. I don't just want tri's and bi's, I want the whole arm package.

Same goes with calves. I work them twice a week.

I do work them twice a week. Same day as Shoulders and legs lol

when you bench, squeeze the bar as tight as you fucking can too. that helps the forearms also

Trying to get back to my peak physical shape again.

So I started the couch to 5k program along with a calisthenics circuit 3 days a week.
The other 3 days a week I do my physical therapy exercises for my rotator cuff muscles.

In about 2 more months I'm going to modify my workout to heavy lifts at the gym but maintain the 30min or running and calisthenics 3 days a week.

You know the saying "lifting weights is like drinking beer. the heavier the better"
