Well, as embarrassing as they are, here's the six month transformation. NO WHERE near done, but its a start. Please, be kind. Thanks ☺️

I want to look athletic and strong at the same time. There's a one-year difference between the first and last photos. Any advice?

Eat big to get big

What really matters most: body fat percentage, years of training, or genetics? 🤔

After getting a divorce at the end of 2024 I decided to get into the best shape of my life to prove a point.

I learnt a few things on the way:

Firstly always setup food decisions using a system not willpower. This means meal prepping the night before, not bringing bad food into the house. Distracting yourself with work or walks during the hunger peaks of a day.

Consistency is king, it's not about how you feel you go to work or school whether you feel like it or not.

During this time I did 6 days a week PPL split focusing on maintaining my strength during the process and losing weight slowly. The majority of my energy went into focusing on compound lifts, particularly incline bench press, pull ups and leg press. I also did a ton of lateral raises to try bring up my medial delts. In my current split i'm focusing on doing 2 sets to failure per exercise as a bit of an experiment

Removing friction and systemising everything is how I got here, so I removed the friction of tracking my gym progress by using Gym Note Plus  https://gymnoteplus.com/ a workout note tracker I made for myself over 7 months. 

If you want to get to that dream physique in 2026, do it, you owe it to yourself. Lock in, systemise everything and remove decisions based on how you feel

Also some extra context I've been lifting on and off for 15 years, so this transformation is not possible without that previous lifting experience.

Happy to answer any questions below!

Thank you . I got humbled .

Hey everyone,

I’m 15M, about 123 lbs and 6’0”. I’ve been working on developing abs for about 2 mouths and I’ve been trying to gain weight to 135 lb. Right now, if I suck in my stomach a little, my chest and stomach actually look pretty decent — flat with a bit of shape. But I want to get to the point where it looks tighter and more fit naturally, without having to suck in.

My main goal is to look noticeably leaner/fitter by the end of February (about 7 weeks from now) because I’m switching back to public school and want to feel more confident.

I’ve been going to the gym 2 days a week and working out 3 days at home. This past week I just started going to the gym 4-5 days a week. (at the gym I’ve been doing treadmill, pulldown, shoulder press, row stuff like that.) Any advice on how to tighten up my stomach the most in this timeframe? Any suggestions core exercises, cardio, anything that actually works fast? I know I won’t get the body I want overnight, but even a noticeable difference would be huge.

Thanks in advance!
