Starting to come down in weight. I’m actually hedging on the whole transformation thing. I’ve got the itch and there is a powerlifting comp not long after the end of the competition.

Weight is coming down, strength is feeling good. 450 felt really light.

really jealous of your calves. wait, i meant cows haha.
