Journey of a newbie lifter

Little intro and then I’ll do my best at making a real log. I was motivated to start this journey after transitioning from chasing shutdowns an working on the road in refinery’s an chemical plants for the last 10 years into a stable plant operations role an home every day/night. Years of beating up my body and fueling it with caffeine and whatever junk was quick and easy left me feeling pretty rough an I knew I needed to make a change. 8 months into my new career I had taken advantage of the slower pace an less active lifestyle a little to long and let myself get to the heaviest I had ever been.

I’m 35 years old male, 5’ 11”.
March 1st I was 213lbs and started a cleaner diet an putting lots of steps in. By may 1st I was down to 196 and had a little motivation going. I did a 8 week run of a small dose of tirz to help get my eating habits an proportions more manageable, it really helped pave the way to my macro tracking an put into perspective how fast calories add up. That put me at 160lbs on July 16th.

Now that I had dropped a lot of the excess body fat an was feeling a lot better, I started venturing into wanting to pack on some muscle even tho I’ve never worked out other then in high school. I joined a lot of facebook groups an was kind of overwhelmed with routines and diets an supplements and judgment, so I found this forum after searching around an have been a lurker an kind of put together a routine, some simple supplements and have made some progress so I’d like to document it here an get some feedback and I feel like some honest non judgmental support.

Sorry for the long intro! Second post will be the details and start of the log.
Thanks!
