Bodybuilding priority is back

... Read moreAfter taking some time off, I finally refocused on my bodybuilding routine and it feels great to dedicate proper gym time again. My session consisted of a 6-way shoulder workout, dumbbell incline presses progressively increasing weight, decline presses, and lat pulldowns — all aimed at building strength and muscle mass. To maximize results, I tracked my average heart rate, total workout time, calories burned, and total volume lifted using a Garmin fitness tracker. This helped me gauge my intensity and recovery needs precisely. I recommend anyone returning to bodybuilding to start with manageable weights and gradually increase resistance, focusing on form and muscle engagement rather than heavy lifting from day one. Tracking your workout metrics, like I did with 45 minutes duration and 155 calories burned, can keep you motivated and accountable. If you’re into upper body workouts or chest day training like me, incorporating varied exercises and carefully logging progress can significantly boost your gains. Patience and consistency are key as you rebuild your strength and continue striving toward your fitness goals.

Bodybuilding healed my body image...
I used to think body positivity meant always loving how I looked… But truthfully? Competing taught me that loving your body isn’t about liking it every second — it’s about respecting it through every phase. Peak week, offseason, bloated, fluffy, lean, tired, strong — I’ve lived in every version
