Solid base man! I am looking forward to seeing what you do after months of being back into it all! What are your goals?

well i'd like to get to 150 by the end of may. im hoping that may be possible since i haven't lifted with any consistency in a couple years, so im hoping i will have newbie-type gains the first couple months. i just added in my first post that im at 5'6 137... my long term goal is to eventually be 165 and under 10% bf.

also... i know i need to keep focusing on compound lifts and just work everything, but do you see anything lagging behind? i was thinking maybe shoulders (also legs but not shown here).

Bro you look great already. You have some matured muscle there leaving you a good base as Todd said. Hit it hard and stick with it and you as well as us know that you'll get to your goals. Great job so far man, looking forward to see your progress in a month or so.

You are looking good. Be patient, train hard and the best is yet to come.
