can’t do anything physical for a week after my wisdom teeth get removed on Wednesday. Do I still eat to gain?
Why can’t you? Not a dig, genuine question.
To prevent it from getting infected probably.
My dentist told me this too - something about exerting yourself or possibly holding any breath or straining too hard can cause the air pockets in your now empty tooth holes to burst.
drink your calories if eating will be an issue.
Do not drink through a straw. Do not do any single thing that the doctors tell you not to. I got a dry socket after my wisdom tooth was taken out and it was the most excruciating pain you could imagine.

Don’t. No straining, no valsalva (so no Bracing), no drinking through straw as flap said. Go easy on the food. Nothing too hot too soon. The thing we don’t want happening is it bleeding again. One week of not doing much won’t make a big impact in the bigger picture. But hey at least you can get all the ice cream you want

Am frightened now.
Welp better stuff my face tonight
I set a squat PR 4 hours after having a wisdom tooth removed…
Honestly dude, you’re like the worst anecdote all around. You also lifted 700 for the first time after recently straining your hip.
I feel like I should get some business cards made…
Get some wristbands made with “what wouldn’t T3hPwnisher do?”

Beginning week of throbbing sendstion in mouth owww my mouth hurts
I’m back baby. Back to eating normal food and regular workouts. Gonna eat meals with 5 portions now instead of 4 starting tomorrow. Ready to do bodyweight stuff everyday. Idk about the dumbbell stuff i’m just not motivated, i’ll pro have to force myself because as soon as I did bodyweight stuff everyday i got lazy to do dumbbell stuff.
Todays bodyweight session was funny
3:00 pushup session
Few plyo pushups. xD I’m supposed to do ten. I felt so heavy. I used to do em so easy.
5:00 squat session
It was good. It hurt more than when I did it before surgery.

Sorry I haven’t been posting on my log. I got lazy with everything. School starts on the 5th. I take my drivers test on the 4th. I weigh like same. Ever since having a sorta mini vacation which included my sister being dropped off at college. I got lazy because my schedule was thrown off. I’ll get back to it soon. Probably once school starts.
