Hope your feeling better mate, the flu can suck energy for a few weeks I’ve found.
Nothing like a few hot chicks to motivate you to push through a few more sets hey.

Thank you guys for the well wishes, it looks worse than it is. Lots of flexibility with neckskin lol. Stitches out today, butterflies on & they told me not to get them wet. I’m not a great listener.

Tweaked my left pec somewhere. To be honest I thiiiiiink I did it bracing myself doing rows with my right hand. Sore bout mid pec close to my sternum.
#egolife hahaha. Nah, what’s another dozen stitches? That pic has some dried blood, I think it was right after I took the post surgery bandage off for the first time. Healing up well, looking like I should have a neat fine scar other than a liiiitlle skin tag at the bottom. I wasn’t expecting that big of an incision, but I’m glad to have my pre-goiter removed.
Serious doms uhhhgaaaiiinnn so I’m trying to squat more frequently till I stop getting swollen thigh syndrome. Pressed for time today, got in & out in 42min.
Bw squats last night & I think that helped a bit with quad DOMS, was feeling better today. Not counting calories or empty weighing, but I’m living life on the hungry side & my size 32 shorts fit.
Went for a thorough walk with the dog before the gym so skipped the elliptical.

Fell off the wagon & ate ~4700 calories yesterday. Felt good to feel full lol. Woke up today at 187.5 post-emptying. Fukk dieting the real gains come from tanning & it’s almost May
My quads feel great this week after 3days squatting last week. Time to fukk it up & skip goblets today. My hamstring & glute are pretty tight & I want to get back on the ohp gain train. I’ll do goblets after deads on Thurs.
Elliptical, stretch, shoulders. Started doing ~a dozen 25lb ohp plate raises on shoulder warmups before press days a month or so ago.

Woke up 188.5-190 every day I check, haven’t really been counting calories but I eat when I’m hungry. 1 tanning session done, I’m not a lobster yet.

Bbdotcom with that preworkout sample! I must be immune to caffeine from coffee cause I drink ~40-80oz a day & it doesn’t hit anything like 200mg caffeine from a preworkout. Whoa.

No preworkout today. I take one scoop 1-2 days a week. More often than that I take a “uni-vite” from universal nutrition. Claimed 100mg caffeine in 1/2 dose. Took nothing today. Well a peanut butter sandwich on Dave’s bread & ~7-800 cal worth of weight gainer & milk…

345 x 1,1,1,1,1 short rests, got 2 sets in during a beastie boys song & 3 in during a Pete rock instrumental jam. Last rep flicked the light switch in my brain. Dropped to 2 knees & positioned myself for a non-injurus blackout should it happen. It didn’t.
