I no longer eat more calories than I burn on any given day.
I also keep increasing the weights that I exercise with every day.
I am now at 24 kg Barbell curls.
My arms literally look like the muscle arm emoji in text conversations.
My belly is disappearing every day.
I am planning to max out crunches and squats the rest of the month.
I am going to be fit by the end of 2023.
I also got a generic haircut that now makes me look like a 7/10. I might go as far as an 8-8.5/10 once I get decent clean clothes.
I expect to looks max peak at 8.5 with some mild to moderate abs and my giant biceps and triceps carrying me along with a haircut once every two weeks and keeping basic hygiene standards and wearing clean clothes every day.
Anybody has any further advice for me?

Myself and so that I look bulky enough to have an easier time in job interviews, interacting with other men, and having kids and their mothers feel safe when they see me looking like a chad as its harder to feel unsafe around well groomed fit men.
I am still 50-50 on the getting laid thing.
I like the idea of s*x but the only women I actually love are all platonic relationships in my life, and I feel unsafe enough about STDs that I wouldn't want to sleep with random foids even if I got the chance.

So you are recomping or cutting?
If you are recomping then beware of the plateau of it. Since that doesn't work out so well once you lose a lot of fat go into normal person territory.
Too see abs you need cut and reach like 15%. But seeing you only do 24kg barbel curl i would go into clean bulk and more rest days.

I don't plan all that.
My only rule is more weights and exercise every few days than previous high. Avoid bad form and don't injure yourself. Try to go over the entire body.
Been working good so far for me.

It's not to injury prevention but efficient . It is because muscle groups needs 1-2 day rest and the body itself needs a rest day. So just fatigue prevention and letting the body recover

Yeah, that's what Sundays are for. You are saying i should have 2 rest days spread in a week instead of just one correct?
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
Depends on the intensity of the exercises. If do like 2x each muscle group + 5h of cardio each week. Then yeah you need 2 rest days per week

Yeah do 3 workout days a week and the goal being 4-5 reps as heavy as possible, rest for three minutes for four total sets. All sorts of science is coming out showing it's the best way to lift. At four days you move into muscle damage

Ultimately the science is just showing this : lower reps, higher weight, longer rests have the highest return. The goal of building muscle and strength is hyper atrophy not damage. Damage means longer healing less strength.

You do much cardio with your 3 days a week?
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
No not including cardio sorry, strictly heavy weight sets for that region. If you can only do upper body one day, that counts towards one day of three for your upper body ALONE. It doesn't mean chest legs chest and your done.
