Stronglifts and Moderate Bulking/Cutting

Meal Prepping and Calorie Counting

Moving Forward: Staying Motivated
Fatboyprogress has suffered two back injuries, which have impacted his routine. Despite this setback, he is committed to staying fit and remaining motivated. His post on Reddit has served as a source of inspiration for those looking to start their weight loss journey.
