it turns out i wasn’t eating enough back then, i’d plateaued at 135lbs hip thrust for months and felt tired all the time

fitness coach now has me on 135g protein / 220g carbs / 75g fat lifting 5 days / week

hit 205lbs hip thrust on monday and feel soooo much more energetic
i only gym twice a week but i’ve been extremely consistent for 5 months now and eat at least 100g protein / day

day 1: squat + hip thrust + dumbbell walking lunges + back extensions

day 2: rdl + leg press + bulgarians

@charmcgi Nobody loudly admits this for some reason (maybe because it's non-aesthetic), but "goblin things" food is the only healthy food, far and beyond above any food available from commerical venues, and still much better than "nice home cooking". 🏋️
