OBGYM hat, “Less Talky, More Lifty” bro tank, WITCC hat, Science Nutrition bro tank, APF powerlifting t-shirt (that is too big on me now), SBD knee sleeves, and rolled up, ripped sweatpants (lol)

Sorry No videos this week.  I tried to use an actual video camera and movie editing software but it kept crashing so I couldn’t upload those videos from Day 1.  Didn’t have my phone with me on Day 2.  Didn’t have anywhere to set my phone at B.I.G. to get a good angle for Day 3. And the Day 5 videos uploaded upside down…ugh.
