When youâre bored look into how Androgen Receptors work as well.
A little deep dive and what effects androgen receptors.
Itâs like i sit around an 8or 900 level testosterone but if the Androgen Receptors are not moving correctly, testosterone wonât convert.
Something to look into.
How the male body works.
But, im glad i could help inspire you.
At the end of the day, your legs take you places.

I have such a weird abscess on my right armpit. Iâve had it before, but might need to go to a doctor or hospital to get it removed as itâs getting kinda big and the hot water on it thing isnât really working for this one.
Itâs kinda a trip, my girlfriend got the same abscess shit going on in her armpit, hopefully itâs not some wack disease but I doubt itâs something to be concerned about because I got an STI checkup and im clean and general health checkup like a month ago, and we donât see other people, so idk why that happens but yee 
Walking like Hank Hillâs dad after some kettlebell work from 3 days ago, God Almighty
Love me some Tricep Pushdowns
Sorry friend. Thoste hurt. Could just be a blocked lymph gland / duct. Sometimes they take more time and loads of hot compresses but still smart to get it checked out by your doctor.
Interesting that you both are dealing with it at the same time. Not sure if environment can be a factor for causing these swollen glands.
Thanks Yeah it seems to be going away now, these seem to happen occasionally for me over the past few years. Might be normal tbh, but Iâm gonna ask my doctor about those soon 
Four spin classes in five days got me in the feelsâŠ.
Managed my strength training classes on top and a body balance class as well 
At some point youâre allowed to be proud of the progressâŠ..right?
2.5 months of focusing on my goal.
Of course!!! Always be proud of your progress in my opinion I find showing off my progress helps me stick to fitness because then I get more dopamine from it My brain LOVES to chase dopamine so yeah
Wow!!! 30lbs weight loss in 2.5 months Youâre doing great!!!
Fantastic work!! Thats some serious dedication there! 
Of course! I think its always good to be proud of your efforts and seeing the progress is an awesome reward for all your hard work. You are doing amazingly well 
Lovely - have fun! 
Nothing stupendous going on over here. But I have been getting better about getting a yoga routine in most mornings. Over 10k steps every day this week. Did a light back and triceps workout today too after some rowing machine.
Feeling like my body needs a little rest because I was pretty engaged with my workouts for the last 10 weeks.
Just posting my daily update here: just did chest/back/shoulders
Iâm probably at the most physically strong Iâve ever been. Iâve been at a similar strength level back in 2019 until I fell out of gym habits from 2020-2024, but I was leaner back then and not quite as strong.
I feel like once Iâm done cutting and my lean bulk starts happening with the water weight back, I should be even stronger which will be nice
Btw quick question: what are yallâs opinions on starting creatine? I hear a lot of good things about it, although from my understanding too much creatine can cause kidney damage. Iâve never taken creatine or anything other than my multivitamin, 2000 IU of vitamin D3 (I have a vitamin D deficiency according to my doctor so yeah), and protein. But Iâm considering going on creatine but in a low, safe dosage that wonât destroy my kidneys.
I probably wonât be starting creatine until I really research it, probably talk to my doctor, and see peopleâs opinions on it first though.
Honestly for creatine I might just eat more red meat because from my understanding creatine from oneâs diet comes mainly from stuff like that. But I also donât cook enough so it would be hard for me to do that unless I learn to make a steak or something haha
Do it, i donât. But, just make sure you drink a ton of water daily.
Is all i say.
Creatine effects the brain in such a good way. Also when youâre in lack of sleep mode helps that too.
EDIT: I used too.
I took creatine everyday until i stopped going to the gym for summer break. Ill be restarting it in september Its a great supplement imo. I did feel stronger (was able to push myself further also) but i like that it also promotes brain health. I actually felt more alert and focused as well. Its also one of the most researched supplements in the fitness industry. Some people do worry abour kidney health, but i believe if u have healthy kidneys to begin with, it wont be a problem. Thats what i was told anyway lol its normal to take 3-5 grams per day of creatine. Some people will go thru a loading phase first to saturate their muscles with it but i never did that. Apparently doing that can give u stomach upset. And remember to drink a sh!t load of water lol
Okay ty @Butterflymoonwoman and @MTSober yee I was always conflicted about creatine cuz my high-school weight training coach, this dude used to be in the CFL on the Toronto Argonauts team and such, really knowledgeable but I remember he told my weight training class that he basically got mild permanent kidney damage from too much creatine apparently. But at the same time, I notice most people donât get that kidney damage so idk.
If I recall correctly from my last blood test that had blood creatine level in the stats, my creatine level is like slightly above the middle of the healthy range. The thing is, if I end up taking too much of creatine I feel like it will go too high.
But yeah definitely Iâll talk to my doctor and research more for sure before trying it, but I appreciate yallâs inputs Good to know that itâs probably not that bad as long as I drink water
