Got a flu shot yesterday. Feels like Ryu just Dragon punched my left shoulder.

And still recovering from that cold. Blowing my nose in between sets all workout. Nasty.

Texas method intensity day.

Ever since I started taking strength training seriously, I was bitten by the Iron Bug. Then it burrowed under my skin and laid eggs in my heart. Now those eggs are hatching and I... the feeling is indescribable.
