This is me this morning, not flexed vs flexed. Bed head, haven’t eaten, just woke up.

You guys have me wanting to get back in the gym hard this summer and back to my peak self. It’s been a year and some months since my surgery. Lifting still flares things up and pickleball keeps me sane but doesn’t exactly build the look I want, so I’m leaning into lifting more, but also taking active rest seriously again. Paying for massages, heating pad daily, all the stuff I used to do during wrestling just to compete at my highest level.

Rest is no joke for a body like mine. It takes as much time and effort as the lifting itself. Excited to start impressing you boys with the videos again, because I’m done watching my muscles shrink.
