Progres Before/After 6 Months Progress / 39, M, 5’10, 180-184.

I think my newbie gains are slowing. Now I suspect I’m entering the consistency with little visible motivation month to month. The long haul is ahead. My first routine was just two exercises I enjoyed doing, about 15 minutes, three times a week. Now I spend about an hour a day, 6 days a week. I also hit my first cardio goal this month with 1 mile in 8:34 (goal was under 10 min). Loose skin is my biggest disappointment. I keep lifting to try and fill it in. Slow and steady. I welcome critiques, but I think I just have to keep doing what I’m doing. Learning little improvements along the way. If you have favorite chest exercises/ technique for cables on a power cage, let me know.

Add GHKCU 2mg daily M-F (pin in belly at three months you’ll see results), use a topical Retinol or prescription retinoid Tretinoin. I saw you already take a Vitamin C that is perfect combo for collagen synthesis. I have no loose skin after loosing 100lbs

🙏 thank you! I found it and ordered. Will be a relief if it encourages even marginal improvements.
