Mini French Bulldog

For me, I managed to gain about 8 kg in my first solid year of training, and I’d say 80% of that came down to eating enough and being consistent. I tracked calories daily and aimed for a steady surplus instead of “bulking” aggressively. Progressive overload was key — I focused on adding reps or weight almost every week, even if it was small jumps. I also paid more attention to recovery after reading broader performance and lifestyle discussions on https://wellsfargocenterarts.org/ (I even stumbled across debates about oral steroids online while browsing, which made me realize how much people chase shortcuts). In the end, it wasn’t anything extreme. It was boring consistency: solid sleep, enough protein, and sticking to a plan for months without constantly changing it.
