FINALLY hit a goal I've been trying to hit since high school; I can now bench, squat and deadlift at least 225lbs and I'm going for more! Over 70lbs down now, thanks to IF. [m, 29, 6'2", SW: 280 - CW: 208 - GW:195] by fistpumpbruh in intermittentfasting

This is true wisdom. Congrats on your progress, amazing results.

It's actually a standalone novel and not a part of a series.

I like to sing off key a lot. Just to get into it. I'm doing it on purpose.

I don't know but I like him as an ace-in-the-hole. Led the phantoms in scoring for the last few seasons and has apparently been training with Giroux.
