Before pic: summer running but no lifting. After pic (this is a no pump pic): crappy workout schedule and lots of gym time, including natural protein bars and 5 small meals a day instead of 3 big ones. Improving routine and will track more progress. Before it was about going from zero, now it’s about continuing to build.

My routine has gotten seriously complicated after talking with a lifter at work. He said I wasn’t doing enough activity in my 1 hour. So I reworked everything and I’m going to give it another month to see if it works (thus the pictures). I’m really sore today from dead lifts. I think this new routine is going to work. I hope I can stay focused during the winter.
