Goals:
Main Goal:
Gain Muscle
Goal (Overall):
lost muscle weight & strength. WANT IT BACK! Health has declined in the last 5 months, & still don't know for sure what's going on.
Goal (Long):
After my 1st bulk cycle, I didn't like how more mass made me look shorter & stockier. I'm just not meant to be big I guess. I do prefer the lean & cut look anyways. Recently I had Mono, so no gym for 6 wks!! Now I've lost SO much muscle weight & strength & have very little stamina. I'm still struggling w/ mystery pain in my lower abdomen/ pelvic area along w/ back pain & nausea. Occasionally the pain is so bad I shake & vomit. Getting a diagnostic surgery November 17th. I'm hoping it's just infection & not a chronic disease. I can't believe I was SO healthy & it has come to this... :'(
Weight Goal:
I want to GAIN 9 lb
Bodyfat Goal:
13%

And I realize I hit more on the upper body than lower... lol.
I'm working on that
