Current Stats
5’9"
37 years old
1/2 year lifting experience
190 lbs.
Max of 8 pull-ups, did 50 push-ups goofing off last night with my son . . . he no longer wants to do push-ups with me


Here I am now . . .

Now I will need to start on a different workout plan . . . I want to do something to continue to help my make my abs actually show, so I don’t want to add body fat, but I would also like to gain a little size in my chest . . . these may be mutually exclusive goals and I may need to prioritize them, but if there is advice on where to go next, I am open to suggestion . . .
