I have been at the intense lifting for just 9 sessions, about 3 weeks, and lesser lifting but a lot of pushups for 3 weeks before that, and eating a lot of protein and resting a day or two after the workout. I’m used to physical intensity from bike riding, horrendous 200 mile weekend trips in highelevation, long distance touring type riding… Different but I know how to exert myself. Except I always hated weights.
If you need inspiration, in just 6 weeks, and basically 3 hardcore weeks, I am bigger, such that people notice. I look different.
If youre like me thinking running and biking are all you need perhaps you’re in denial like I was. When I really think about what I desire, What I want is to be a large imposing muscley action figure, a body that makes other men slightly intimidated and makes women weak. Big thick legs like tree trunks. Thick buttocks. A broad and powerful back. Large shoulders.
