After being away for work the past few weeks, I’m finally getting back into a normal routine.

Being away was definitely a different experience. Work was hectic, food wasn’t exactly optimal, and my normal training and nutrition routine was basically thrown out the window. I still managed to get some training in whenever I could, but now that I’m home I can finally get some structure back.

I’m also getting back on Reta since I couldn’t travel with it on myself and using this as a chance to reset rather than trying to go from 0–100 overnight. The goal now is simple: get back into consistent training, get my food under control, and steadily strip the fat off while maintaining as much muscle and strength as possible.

I’ve been keeping things pretty simple initially:

Breakfast

• 3–4 eggs
• 2 slices wholegrain toast
• Piece of fruit
• Coffee

Lunch

• 200g chicken breast
• 200g cooked rice or potatoes
• Large serving of vegetables/salad

Snack

• Greek yoghurt
• Berries/fruit
• Small handful of nuts

Dinner

• 200g lean beef, chicken or fish
• Potatoes/rice
• Plenty of vegetables

If hungry

• Protein shake or Greek yoghurt
• Fruit

Here is today’s chest workout

6 sets — reps: 15, 15, 12, 10, 10, 8

One of the biggest things I've noticed with being back on Reta is how much easier it makes controlling food intake.

I'm not constantly thinking about food, I'm not getting the same cravings I used to get, and meals feel much more deliberate rather than something I'm constantly looking forward to.

That makes getting back into a structured diet much easier.

The goal now isn't to starve myself or try to lose weight as quickly as humanly possible.

It's about getting back into a consistent routine:

• Structured meals
• High protein
• Plenty of fruit and vegetables
• Controlled portions
• Consistent training
• Plenty of water
• Getting back into normal life without completely undoing the progress

I've also learned that having a plan makes a massive difference. When I'm organised, I don't need to rely on motivation.

Ramping six sets from 47 all the way up to 82 with a three second eccentric on every rep is a serious amount of time under tension before the top set even arrives.

Hi all,

Anabolic Atlas here, officially going public with my comeback.

For some context, I’m 33 years old, 175cm tall, and currently sitting at 120kg.

To scratch the surface of who I am: I was very overweight throughout my teenage years, hovering around 115kg while playing rugby. After an injury ended that chapter, I found my way into the gym. What started as rehabilitation slowly became a lifestyle. I leaned out, built muscle, and eventually reached what I’d consider a genuinely athletic physique.

By my mid 20s, I was fully immersed in bodybuilding. I competed in a couple of shows, stepping on stage around 85–90kg naturally, and from there pushed further. Between roughly 2020 and 2025, I was enhanced and maintained around 100kg at relatively low body fat. Physically, I was in the best shape of my life strong, lean, disciplined, and structured.

Then life happened.

Becoming a father, moving states, and taking on new responsibilities slowly took priority. Without fully realising it at the time, my training, nutrition, and identity began to slip. Over the years, I gained 30kg+ and, more frustratingly, lost a significant amount of hard-earned muscle. The routine, focus, and drive I once had just weren’t there anymore.

The past few months have been a real turning point. A doctor’s visit where my blood pressure hit 170 was the wake-up call. I made the decision to take control again back into the gym, cleaning up my nutrition, and rebuilding mental discipline. About five weeks ago, I also began using retatrutide 1.3mg twice a week, and since then I’ve dropped 12kg, going from 132kg to 120kg. More importantly, I feel switched on again mentally sharp, consistent, and motivated.

This isn’t just about weight loss. It’s about reclaiming who I was physically and mentally and showing up for my son. I’ve lived both extremes, and that perspective is what’s driving me now.

This is the next chapter in reclaiming what once was. I’ll be posting regularly the progress, the setbacks, and everything in between.

A huge shout-out to @ZenithHealth @Zenith for sponsoring me with the retatrutide and more importantly believing in me

Mam this post hits too deep! Im turning 49 and story sounds the same, just sprinkle in a separation heading to divorce and tryin to keep it together for my 2 girls! Had thst eye opening moment when I got my dusghters to the waterpark and I wouldn't even take my shirt off! Always thought I woukd be that dad still doin across with my kids, went from doin backflips to barely touching my toes! Good luck brother, Im tryin to do the same, battling through a really screwed up shoulder and slight depression through the separation and her stepping out on me, but hearing others goin through life helps realizing everyone is fighting something!
