I just started hitting the gym again about 3 weeks ago, twice a week.

Benchpress, seated rows, lat pulldowns, seated dumbell curls, tricep extensions, calf raises

I should isolate muscle groups more, but it's hard to do just going 2 days a week. I'm building back up to where I was, still ridiculously weak at this point. It's depressing.

215...a bit fat though. I need to lean out as much as possible before the surgery in April, even though its a minor one.

Why?



I'm at 185 now... put on some muscle

i started working out about a year ago, got all superfit, tore somthing, took 6 weeks off whilst getting supoer cut, decided i was too light, now i'm gaining and working up to working out at full

i feel less motivated at this time of year cuz of the light and all that, yea i know its spring approching but peeps systems are still 2 months ago

Finally at 75 kg... went up 5kg in the last 4 months. :coal:

Friday morning, 185lbs
Saturday, didn't do much or eat much at all
Sunday morning, 179lbs

holy moly! what happened?

There is definitely some truth to this, but there are several bodybuilders with immense amounts of 'useful' strength - Ronnie Coleman could have easily been a world class powerlifter, as could Johnnie Jackson, and going old school, Franco Columbo (he was, I guess, and he did have less of what one might call a 'classical V-tapered physique).

Yes, a python breezes in the jest.

which one would you rather look like?

The one on the right. Functional strength is more in line with my personal goals than sculpting a particular look.

The one on the left would far surpass any reasonable needs of functional strength.

This might surprise you TB but not everyone aspires or even likes the bodybuilder look.

Your reasoning for wanting to look like the example on the right was because that bodytype had functional strength. You said nothing of look.
