Comments: Sleep schedule (or lack thereof) made it a rocky start, but started feeling good after the benching was over and done with. Now I might be awake all night, yay. On a more pleasant note, according to Matthew, I look bigger (in a good way, shoulders/chest/etc.) than I did at 260 lbs. (118 kg) despite being 35-40 lbs. (16-18 kg) lighter. Nice! I don’t wanna brag, but I DO look relatively good in the gym gettin’ mah swole on ohhh yeeeah you liiiike it.

Comments: Initially planned for hyperextensions after the sidebends, but my back was seriously too sore to continue and if I had, I would be injured (instead of only HURT as it was ). Felt remarkably less nausea and lightheadedness this time. Sunday should be back to normal.

Maybe 2 minutes of very slow cardio

Comments: You may notice that, aside from the bench, I didn’t do much. This is due to feeling nauseous as fuck, short of breath, and about to pass out after doing ANYTHING (blood pressure, heart rate, and blood sugar were normal both before and after lifting though), and I’m going to tentatively attribute that to the lingering remnants of that cold/flu horseshit that I had. I even had to pull off the road once and just sit for a few minutes because I thought I might puke/pass out while driving home. What the fuck.
