How I started seeing results in the gym!

Hi!!

These two pictures were taken between last summer and about a week ago (February).

I’ve gone to the gym pretty consistently for the past 4 years and only started seeing results this past year when I started prioritizing these 2 things!

1. Focusing on what I eat

2. Sticking to a consistent workout routine

I have always been called “small” or was underestimated because of my size which can get frustrating when something I do is consistently go to the gym and lift.

1. This past year, getting enough calories in each day has skyrocketed my progress and my results have been crazy because of it. I never tracked calories either!!! I knew I needed to gain weight if I wanted to see progress at this point. I was nervous about how it would change my appearance but I ended up looking exactly how I want to look when I would eat a lot and also be lifting consistently! I prioritized getting protein, carbs, and fruits and veggies in as many meals as I could. I gained about 10 lbs and I am happier than ever!

2. The second thing I did was stick to the same workouts on my upper body and lower body days. Mostly sticking to compound movements and splitting my days in the gym by different muscle groups has helped me so much. I used to change the workouts I’d do on a certain split day every week or couple of weeks and I’ve found working out the main muscle groups consistently with the same movements created way more progress than trying to do “all the workouts” is what I would call it haha
