I’ll keep my fingers crossed for Friday mate!
You want to be really careful with lymph nodes, my cousin and her fiancé both have lymphodema (met in a waiting room) and it can turn pretty nasty if not well looked after.
They given you anti inflammatory or antivirals?
Everything does happen for a reason, that’s the truth. Best of luck bro.
Bug- Lolz. If only I looked like you in a pair of board shorts, I bet they would have accepted me right on the spot.
Steve-Thanks buddy. I’ve never had anything like this before? They did a full set of blood work so I’ll talk to the doc in another day or two and see what the results are/were. I didnt get any meds for it or anything? They just said “Oh yeah its not a hernia, just inflammed nodes. wipe off the gel and you’re all set”
Ink- Thanks homie 
you having exotic meat withdrawals yet?
Oh boy, I’m kinda happy I’m now hearing about this potential hernia. My poor little heart won’t be able to take the bad news and not-knowing lol
Glad it wasn’t a hernia. And that you’re okay.
That’s a very on-the-fence interview. I have my fingers crossed for you Hon.

Yeah. I think the last of it has been absorbed by my body, and now I need more. Maybe that’s why I’m getting a headache right now!
Hopefully the lack of meds is a good thing.
I hope gel wasn’t a member of staff.
So glad you don’t have the hernia! GOOD NEWS! That would have been just terrible timing for you. And can I just say, I’m glad mine is a bit higher up! That sounds painful.

Low hanging fruit of puns!
You so fruity, gregs!
Good news is GOOD!!!
you must be chomping at the bit for tomorrow!!
Nikki- hahaha well rest assured… no hernia for old gregron. It was a very on the fence interview. It really could go either way, I wouldnt be surprised either way.
Ink- You’re probably right lol
Steve- I’m hoping so too. I guess I’ll just have to wait and see what the results of the blood work are.
Puff- It is great news! Sorry that yours didnt come back the same way 
Ponce- My fruit is always hanging low lol
MiM- Yes it is! I’m actually chomping at the bit right now lol. I kind of expect to hear back about the results today but I’m trying to keep my mind off of it and not get too worked up. TBH if the results come back that I didnt make it… I’m probably going to get housed tonight lol
Ok so heres a little update. FINALLY got back into the gym. The hip/groin/nodes situation was feeling a little bit better but still painful. I tried to jog to the gym today but it hurt too bad so I had to walk. Frustrating.
When I got there I decided to hit the jump ropes. Did 5 minutes of speed rope work and then hit the weights. I didnt want to go heavy today cause I wanted to make sure not to strain anything.
Incline DB:
60’s x 20
80’s x 16
100’s x 10
80’s x 14
DB Bench:
80’s x 12
100’s x 12, 12
BW Dips/20 KG DB Swings:
10 & 20 with 60 seconds rest. 5 sets (did the swings for more conditioning work)
HS Shoulder Press:
1pps x 12, 12
2pps x 12, 10
DB Lat Raise:
30lb x 10 w/pause 4 sets
partials x 25 wow!
Reverse pec deck
5 more minutes of jump rope speed work and then called it a day. Pretty good little workout for the first time back in the gym in a while. Bodyweight was 209.5 today. The pic above is a relaxed shot.
little flexing pic… I think the TDC is helping my traps.
Going to try to up the cardio a bit… and by “up the cardio” i mean start doing some cardio lol Want to tighten things up a bit and get the beach bod back for summer
Fuck you Gregron.

…this. (sigh) hahah. Why you gotta make me feel weak like that haha.
Glad to hear your nuts didn’t get too strained at the gym, LOL.
Traps are looking large for sure dude, TDC FTW!
I gotta hit that shit up again when I think my shoulder’s up for it.

Didn’t want to ignore this gem. I’m sure if “gel” was a member of the staff, Greg STILL would’ve wiped him off.
Ahoy, SHIPMATE!

I new someone would pick up on it!
Nice to see you ‘taking it easy’ grumble mumble fucking 100 pounders grumble 10 reps…
Serious though thats some good numbers being move there!
Traps do look like they’ve grown, I need to get back on the DTC again.
How’d you get so buff? Do you do squats on a bosu ball?
Glad you didn’t get a hernia, but I hope you get that shit figured out soon. Hopefully it’s just the swollen nodes as you suspect.
Got the email this morning… I didn’t make the cut for the 40th Fire Academy
