BODYBUILDING MEGA THREAD: ACCOUNTABILITY / TRAINING / DIET / MOTIVATION & HARDCORE GOAL ACHIEVEMENT

[Ali]

A rough workout, drained from all the physical labour and under eating, also have a slightly compromised right pec so called it short in case I pulled it.
Diet is good again today so hopefully the strength will come back quickly.

Lets keep holding it down boyos!

My lower back was still smoked and I think I have dehydration sickness from Tues
Managed to slug through the session and get some good stimulus.
I've set up my reverse hyper machine in the garage so gonna try to build some dumb work capacity and strength in my lower back to recover from lifting and all the physical work I'm doing, more importantly it will decompress my spine

Love your consistency and drive! Keep on crushing it!

Love your consistency and drive! Keep on crushing it!

Appreciate it!

Upper body session from today. Overhead strength is up slightly which was a nice suprise. Also a massive guy was repping 180kg easily on the bench next to me so I was feeling fired up

Sup boys,

joining this thread too.
I like the idea & want to keep it up.

How I will stay accountable:
1. Log the exact date & time of my next workout.
2. Come back with DONE/FAIL.
3. If DONE write up what the training consisted of.
4. Log when the next workout will be happening.

Starting with today.

Physique update

I had 3 weeks of holidays with no gym access, I'm going back home Wednesday. At this point I'll invest in a coach, I'm hesitating between two options: classic bro bodybuilding coach to focus on aesthetic, or a PT that specializes in fixing imbalances and poor posture (I have the typical head forward/slouching posture, imbalances in the feet, in the eyes even, and all of this affect posture)

This is the PT I have in mind:

his full posture assessment with tailored program: https://www.onlineschoolofexercise.com/online-pain-and-posture-and-fitness-assessment

Opinions welcome
(price isn't a problem, I'm willing to pay for whatever will fix my posture long term)

PT I have in mind:

If you can have 1:1 sessions with him. 100% do it.
