Looking bloated not muscular
I've been weightlifting for two years but to be honest I didn't really have a good workout in place. 11 weeks ago I started doing a structured all over body programme 3 times a week and love it. The goal was to build muscle with minimal fat gain. I'll admit I have piddled around with my kcal intake a lot over this period…
