It is a gradual process so stay focused on your goals and it will come.

I have done the 5x5 before but included isolation lifts in the program. recently i've been doing mainly full body. I was thinking about switching back to 5x5 but just full body. Now that you've suggested it, I'm definitely going to give it a try. yeah getting the nutrition dialed in. A few years ago when I got on a good dedicated program I was able to jump from 145 lbs to 175 (I'm 6'2"). I like my weight now but i'm trying really hard to lose this li'l muffin top i've somehow managed to acquire. gunna really try to up the cardio this year.
this is a great thread, though and it def helps me stay informed and motivated.
