-Left picture: 4 years ago first thing in the morning. -Right Picture now: First thing in the morning. - There is only 1 lb difference between these photos. - These are both taken first thing in the morning. - I would expect that I would be heavier at this point in comparison to 4 years ago but nope. Of course my mind goes to “well… you didn’t put on much muscle”. Considering the numerous surgery breaks I am sure I didn’t put on a ton. Muscle takes long enough to put on without all the interruption. Few things I am considering here: - I am using a different scale - Hydration levels - Body Composition changes— Muscle gain/fat loss - I am cutting too fast. Some of the most fascinating parts of prepping for a physique show is how much you actually get to learn about your body along the way. - I seem to be leaning out quicker and at a higher daily calorie intake then I did 4 years ago and back then I was working a very active job and doing more cardio at this point. My Maintenance calories are actually higher than I thought this time around. - The body is fascinating and no matter what happens with the show— whether it is canceled or whether I get last place, there is so much I get to learn about my body in the process. - I might sound like a broken record at this point— but I can’t emphasize enough how important going through your own process of learning about your body is. - I am not saying you need to do a physique show. This is only one way I have learned about my body and how it physically works. My learning began when I wanted to improve my shitty digestion issues. - You have to allow yourself time to go through the mental ups and downs— allow yourself time to figure things out, to grow, to fail, and to learn. - Stay patient. - Don’t just trust the process, accept it and learn from it. - #trustyourprocess #patience #fitness #failure #physique #summershredding #ftm #ftmbodybuilding #health #growth #gains #muscle #trusttheprocess #fitnessjourney #nutrition https://www.instagram.com/p/CCzNZQPs4Jh/?igshid=1gm15km7bix9n
