“End of my first push phase. +15kg.
It’s not always pretty, but it’s necessary.
This phase has been a lot of trial and error. Taking things into my own hands, figuring out what actually works for me.
I’ve been lucky to have someone in my corner I can run things by and take advice from when needed, that’s made a big difference 🙏🏼
There’s been mistakes along the way, no doubt. But that’s part of it. You don’t get it all right first time, you learn, adjust, and move forward.
One thing I’m happy with… this is the least I’ve ever needed to use, and I’ve felt good the whole way through.
Health markers have been spot on, Food hasn’t needed to be pushed to extremes and I’ve still been able to enjoy life alongside it.
I’m not too concerned if body fat creeps above what people call ‘optimal’. I’m not a competitive bodybuilder — and I don’t need to live like one.
I enjoy the lifestyle. I enjoy training. And for me, that matters more than being lean year round.
From here — small tidy up, get bloodwork done, and if everything’s in a good place… straight into the next push phase. 📈
