(I had my weight and blood pressure checked today)
I'm overweight with high blood pressure.
* As you can see from my profile picture, weight is not a problem with the ladies. I'm handsome! *
Blood pressure and cholesterol. Now those are problems
*** PMO connection ***
I am improving my life. No PMO
Through this particular thread in this forum, I'm focused on physical health and well being. In the past I'd be jerking off to P***.

 

Great to read handsome one.
Considering your cholesterol...where do you have that information from?
From what I know our body produces 85% of its own cholesterol. The rest is from food. Cholesterol is a foundation for many hormones to work.
I'm open to learn more about this topic. But in general I wouldn't worry about cholesterol (imho).

Anyway! Great to see your long distance swims! I guess that account picture of you does fit you in that way.

Respect for improving your life. I wish you all the best and I'm happy to get notice of your journey.
Cheers!

Update:
Carried my girlfriend around. (I think that'll count as exercise. ) Oh and kettlebells.

Yup. You can't out exercise a bad diet. So, I'm improving my diet.

Keep up the workouts! To have a clean body helps to have a clean mind.

I'm really tired and finals are this week, so:

Misc. exercises

 

Love how inspired everyone on here is, it's great to see and helps me out as well
My PE finals are tomorrow, I need to study for another final, and I messed up my leg doing god knows what, so I'm taking the night off. Keep it up, everyone!

I would love to compete in some local strongman events but I have other life goals that I'm currently pursuing. As far as long term goals with lifting I want to (and will) achieve a 700lb deadlift, 700lb squat, 400lb bench and 350lb log press. Two days ago my strongman log was delivered and I've been heaving that sumbitch nonstop.

 

Relapsed 2 days earlier
Now back on exercise
15 min exercise
12min skipping rope exercise
95 sec headstand
1 chin up

 

Well done. Excellent. Get and stay in shape. Stay true to the reboot counter.

 

Am I allowed to post a pic of my upper body shirtless?
