@Alexander Lewis Thank you!! You absolutely can, just being consistent with all those pieces of the puzzle will take you further that you'd ever think. And just to give an idea of what I do: -Train 4 times a week, a 5th if I can -Eat relatively decent 5 days a week (I know it could be better) -Good sleep, I try to get at least 7 hrs. Again, could be better -Supplements, although a smaller slice of the pie, i'd still say it's important enough as it could be hard to get ALL nutrition through whole foods (creatine, multivitamins/fish oils, I also take glutamine and lysine) -Rest days, I usually take Wednesdays and the Weekends off unless I squeeze a Saturday workout in. On these days off, fill your soul with what makes you happy. Socializing, hikes, family time, etc. By no means am I saying that what I do is what other people should do, just giving an idea of what's worked for me, maybe there's a piece or two anybody could take from that and mold it into what works for them!
