My Current Split
Motivation starts the journey, but discipline is what keeps you showing up.
I am not a personal trainer. I’m a guy that struggled to put on weight and muscle for years until something finally clicked.
No crazy diets. Just consistent protein, avoiding soda and sugary snacks, staying hydrated, and some decent genetics.
What works for me may not work for you, but it might work for someone else.
