I know the competition hasn’t officially started, if this causes any issues or whatnot feel free to remove my post. Just posting this to (hopefully) keep myself accountable, as well as have somewhere to track my progress.

I’ve been down this road too many times now, and I’m hoping this is the time that I’m able to really stick to it. When I first hit the gym I was around the same height, but weighed 115lb at 17 years old. I put on about 20lb in my first year of working out, and since then have ping pong’d from 135lb up to 155lb. I’ve had probably 4 or 5 solid periods (6+ months) where I’ve stuck to the gym, gotten to the best shape of my life, and then crashed and burned due to some extenuating circumstance (mainly work, last time was COVID shutting down the gyms).

My college gym is finally re-opening, but by appointment only. So I’ve decided to dust off my home gym that I dropped a few hundred bucks on at the start of quarantine, ideally hit that about 3 times a week and hopefully get to the real gym for 2 days of the week to get my heavy compounds in (all I have at home is dumbbells, pull-up bar and dip bar).

Anyway, here’s my first progress pics, post-workout. If you have any tips, advice, questions, throw them at me!
