Left early, short notice work schedule change.
5 for 5 on weekend illnesses. Temp was 101 yesterday. Who the fuck knows.
Decided to wax in an attempt to deal with back hairs (likely exacerbated by steroids) and it worked well. Check back in a few weeks to see whats what.

I can’t remember the last time I lit someone up at the gym - if ever. This mouth-breathing fuck knuckle that was too busy fing fucking his phone to notice his lifter was pinned - it got me there. He was standing off to the side of his lifter’s bench like a proper cunt, too.
Best description of a less than admirable person that I have seen this week. LMAO
You ever tried hair removal cream on your back?
I considered it, but the hair grows so fast it’s crazy.
I might give it a shot if the waxing turns out to be too much effort. Id waxed my chest and abs before and it turned a lot of the thicker, darker hairs into lighter, softer ones. Was hoping for the same thing here.
That was an interesting couple days.
Immediately following my last training session, i went to get an allergy immunotherapy shot (the kind that train your body to calm it’s allergic reaction to stuff) as id been doing 1-2x per week for a few months.
Started having chest pains (which i thought were just cardio induced from farmer walks), so i ignored it.
Then my eyes started itching.
Then the wheezing started, shortly followed by caughing…
I came to understand this was a severe allergic reaction.
I used my epi pen (precautionary for this exact reason), and swelling calmed down for about 2 hours. My eyes were halfway shut from swelling.
Took my 2nd epi pen shot… did very little.
Downed 4x the max dose on Zyrtec (2nd gen antihistamine), and finally everything was moving in the right direction.
Stayed home the rest of the day, and the following day. My face, hands, and breathing are back to normal.
Pro tip: exercise, particularly intense cardio, can severely exacerbate the body’s immune response to allergens, so don’t combine the two.
For fucks sake, cardio almost killed me.
So the good news is that I’m not dead, bad news is I’ll have to adjust my training around these immunotherapy shots.
Oh, and more good news: I’m 2 months away from completing my Bachelor’s degree; final push to bring it home.
How long have you been doing the shots? Are they helping? A friend is about 30 weeks in and no relief. He feels like shit for two days after.
Im 1/5th done with treatment according to my treatment plan.
I’m hella allergic to Ragweed, which is fucking prevalent where I’m at. Usually the allergy season(s) have me out of work for like 2-3 days and thus far i havent needed time off.
That being said, I’ve been on and off sick weekly for 5 weeks in a row and thinking back - that could be related to the shots. Unsure if that’s the actual cause.
It will depend on his treatment plan. They should be giving him a lower dose if hes feeling like ass afterwards. This is the first time I’ve had a known effect from a shot… it should always be like this.
I’m actually thinking about cooling it with training (meaning I just go back to standard TBJP) and reverse-dieting to maintenance while I finish out my degree. I’ve got a heavy course load to get this done, so I’m thinking it may be warranted.
It sounds totally sensible to do this, but here I am thinking that I’m crazy for backing off the gas pedal. 
I used to do this in the final push at the end of a semester.
Grand scheme of things- its a drop in the bucket training wise. Call it an icu stay for recovery then blast off when the degree is secured.
