I started training like 10 years ago but I didn’t get significant results. That failure was like a stain in my mind that never went away. I don’t like the idea of giving up on something. So even though it would make me looked better, I want to also have the pride to say that I accomplished it even if it took me a long time. And I can share that lesson of never giving up with my future children. It’s a discipline thing for me with many other benefits.

If you was training for size/aesthetics/genetic potential and you wasn't meeting your goals, providing you was putting in the work, and I've no reason to believe you wasn't. Almost certainly the reason why you didn't get there was because you wasn't eating enough. I can't stress that enough. You have to eat an absolutely insane amount of food to gain a significant amount of mass. My walking around weight is roughly 67kg, years ago, when I was really into it, I got up to 82kg, that took me about 3 years. The reason I stopped going the gym wasn't because I wasn't enjoying it, it was the staggering amount of food involved, it seemed like I was eating all day, every day. I've recently started going again, about 8 weeks ago and I'm enjoying it but I'm already fed up with the amount of food I'm having to eat😂.
