GOAL: A few months of high calories (big energy boost to enhance gym performance at the cost of gaining weight). The next few months are spent in a caloric restriction (in order to shed the excess fat gains and reveal the shiny new muscles I'd earned!).

Don't be fooled... muscles take years and years to develop naturally. Time, consistency, and LOTS of hard work go into getting your "dream body". It goes by quickly though and seeing the results materialize over time will keep you motivated - press on! 💪

TRAINING: Lifting hard and heavy.

DIET: Eating and tracking everything I want. No restrictions as long as caloric and macro needs are met 😊
