Goatees are not trendy. Either shave or grow a beard.Jamgoth wrote: ↑Sat Oct 01, 2022 1:33 pmhttps://ibb.co/1QpNGW9
October selfie. Weight 130.8. I'm not seeing much of a difference but who knows. I'm still way too skinny.
How does the goatee/hair look?
Also, I really need to do something about the bags under my eyes.

As often as I can. I'm not seeing much progress in terms of volume at the gym but I am going regularly. I'm also putting more effort into trying to eat more.
I also realize a lot of my clothes either don't fit me or have stains I can't get rid of. I need to throw a lot if my wardrobe out and start new. I have a peacoat I like that I'm going to get custom fitted and I figure I'll wear that until I can go clothes shopping over Thanksgiving break. I'm also setting up an appointment to get prk, which is an alternative to lasik. Hopefully that can happen over winter break. I also bought stuff to Whitten my teeth faster than just brushing twice a day. Hopefully over winter break I can also go to tanning salon to get less pasty. So... I'm working on things it's just progress is slow.
My weight is up to 132.9

Are you applying progressive overload?
For your muscles to grow they need a bigger stimulus than last time.
So basically if you did 4 sets of 12 reps with 40kg for example, you need to at the very least do a set of 13 then 3 sets of 12 with 40kg, or 4x12x42kg... the number of reps or the weight has to move up (if the weight goes up but the number of reps goes down, this doesn't really work)
It's possible that you're not working out hard enough or not eating enough

Basically my strategy is to do 3 sets of 8 then a fourth set to finish and if I can do at least 10 on this set I can increase my weight for next time. Today I increase my weight for the tricep exercise I'm doing (I forget what it's called) from 60 to 65lbs but other than that I haven't increased the weight I have been using for a couple weeks.hush wrote: ↑Fri Oct 14, 2022 4:00 pmAre you applying progressive overload?
