Leg day today. The squat rack was being used, so decided to hit the leg press machine first. Wasn't part of the routine, but figured it wouldn't hurt to add it.

Leg presses
Squats
Dumbbell lunges
Hamstring curls
Straight leg dumbbell lifts
Calf extensions

In less than a month, I've put on 6-7 lbs. I'm guessing mostly muscle and some water weight. Really upped my water intake, trying to drink at least a gallon of water a day. Pants still fit the same, but upper body has gotten bigger. Still a ways to go. Never really had chest muscles. Now I've got some, plus arms/back are looking better.

[Adriftpanda]

Bob, how much are you taking in daily? Is your goal, to put on muscle mass?
Putting on 6lb of muscle within a short period of time is possible but rather unlikely unless it’s water and FATs.

Either way, Im excited for you! Keep up the good work.

[Chainsaw13]

I haven't been tracking my caloric intake. Although I try to be very conscious of the macros, especially carbs, to keep my blood sugar under control.

I want to put on some muscle mass, but want to stay around my current weight (192).

[icehog3]

Sounds like you're doing great, Bob!

Me too ever since I dropped all the weight kicking diabetes. My routine is just that. I usually have about the same thing every day for breakfast and lunch, varyng it from time to time. Dinner is where I like to mix thing up.
