Been MIA guys...sorry about that

Been busting my ass as usual but am feeling pretty wiped. Diet has just been draining me

[thebrick]

Thanks guys, I do feel better the last couple days. Not going to let Dr. Pessimism get to me.

I did train shoulders and traps saturday. Had a nice pump going. Was happy about that. Today, I am hopping on the bike and headed in to hit chest in a few. Looking forward to better days.

Atom, you look GREAT! Excellent work!

You guys rock it! Its Monday so start it with a kick!

Solid, looking drier.
What's the diet looking like lately?

 

[Phoe2006]

AA are u using any letro? Cuz it appears you have some gyno flaring up there? Other than that you're looking spot on for a top placing

3:30PM: 8oz 96% Lean Ground Beef (raw weight), large mixed green veggies or salad, 15 grams of fat from Mac Nut Oil or Coconut oil
ALTERNATIVE: Shake with 50g Protein and 25g fat

AA are u using any letro? Cuz it appears you have some gyno flaring up there? Other than that you're looking spot on for a top placing

That is pubertal gyno... I do have a prescription for adex but I am also on letro. It will never go away unless I get surgery, which I will likely do this year and insurance should cover it because I have had ultrasounds done all through my teens showing it is breast tissue.

Hi AA, Do you mean 1x20reps ?

WMs are between 20-30 non consecutive reps... Meaning the weight will still be in my hands but I'll take a few breaths and do one rep at a time... Typical DC style WM

[The Grim Repper]

Not sure I needed to vent or I am being a bit of a puss.

Everyone needs to vent, everyone. You are anything but a puss my brother, that's not even something that would leave anyone's lips to describe your character.

For a while, I thought I was a time bomb. Had a health episode that could have made me go the way of Seamus. Same damned thing. But I recovered which sadly he never got to do, and I'll be damned if the docs told me meds for life, forget your old life, etc. Well, here I am 3 years later, no meds, no docs, nothing. While my situation is different, the anger I had was like yours. Hang in there, you know yourself.
