February 6th 2026
I feel thinner today. Quite happy about that. Not leaner, I would assume, but in the mirror I’m very not bloated. I like that.
Today I will be doing squat endurance, 135 for a bunch of reps probably, not sure yet.
Today I will need to work on dad’s birthday present, its only in 3 days.
Zwanzig Minuten vor esse Ich frühstück.
These Ice walkout-protests are stupid. The agents are here to do their jobs. Get rid of the illegal immigrants! The only reason to be afraid of them is if you are ILLEGAL. The middle school did one. They’re 7th and 8th graders. Wtf are they even protesting they are 12-14 years old they don’t know what’s even going on. They only are doing it so they can not do school work. Our highschool is doing one next Thursday. So stupid. If your illegal, either get your paperwork and act like an American, or LEAVE. Not that difficult. I wish more people would understand this simple thing.
Eating currently, and will do homework. Then I will update.
As someone religious, I’m curious of your thoughts on Matthew 8:11 or Luke 13:29 or 2 Peter 1:11 and Romans 14 as it relates to those ideas.
Matthew 8:11 I say to you that many will come from the east and the west, and will take their places at the feast with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven.
-I find this promising, and vaguely related to the illegal immigrants. My interpretation (which Is derived from the basic meaning of this) is Many will come to Christ, from across the world, to worship and follow him.
Luke 13:29 People will come from east and west and north and south, and will take their places at the feast in the kingdom of God.
-Pretty much the same meaning.
2 Peter 1:11 and you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Full paragraph (as this that was cut off from this whole thing)
2 Peter 1:10-11 Therefore, my brothers and sisters, make every effort to confirm your calling and election. For if you do these things, you will never stumble, and you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
-This talks about how we must use our effort to follow Christ, our calling, and we will not stumble (not saying we will not struggle), and we will be welcomed into heaven (though I would consult a church father on the full meaning of this, as I admit I have my doubts of my interpretation),
Romans 14: This one talks about the concept of personal sins (again ask a church father, not me), and not judging a brother/sister in christ because of their actions (concerning personal sin). And a few other things such as being weary not to cause others to feel in despair as if you are sinning, and if they might do so because of your actions (not sinful, and not your own personal sin, but to them it is one),then you should change your actions out of love for them.
Again, don’t trust me for interpretation of this. TALK TO A CHURCH FATHER/PRIEST.
I don’t see how it really relates to illegal immigrants.
Spend a little time with it
Feb 7 2026
Im very sore today. I did 135 x 40 on squat, and hit a PR of 295 on deadlift (wanted 315 but I didn’t get it up. On the second attempt I almost did, but grip slipped. I tried a third time… this time with a belt… well I can’t say I’ve never used one now. Didn’t get it up.)
Oh well. I’ve experienced a weight lifting belt now. And safe to say… yeah I’m kinda small. I used the tightest or second tightest hole, on the extra small. I don’t care though. It saved my back from getting more messed up I’m sure. Back still felt it but I am still fine. Im taking it easy this weekend. Monday will be a conditioning day… man… I don’t want to do conditioning. But oh well. I need to do it.
Legs still hurt from sleds, I’m sure they are affected by the squats too.

Explore the term illegal immigrants with respect to US immigration laws, then ask yourself why certain people brand undocumented immigrants as illegal - what is the motivation for mislabeling undocumented immigrants as illegal?
I have my own ideas around this issue and suggest you make your own decisions. Recognizing the information, and misinformation, will help you make your own decisions and not be swayed by others with an agenda.
Obviously because they bring harm to the country.
Il probably research this some other time ( a bit busy at the moment). But this is my take on why it is illegal (my dad says the same thing)
If they commit a crime (which, given many of them do, undocumented or not), they are untraceable. No finger print, no photo, no ID, nothing.
And the US can’t know their history (if they don’t know they exist). How do they know they aren’t a terroristic person, and they seek to do such and such? They don’t, and can’t. If they had some ID that’s valid, then they wouldn’t be able to come in.
I do understand that some of them come in solely for the opportunity, and they work hard. I love that. But to those: PLEASE get identification/whatever is needed.
My thought process is this: A lot of the undocumented immigrants are criminals, because a big reason to not be documented is so you can be untraceable, and make it super hard to be convicted, because “you don’t exist”.
I will say though, that you pose an interesting view point I’ve never thought of. Why are they classified as illegal off the bat? I will certainly search this up, and think about it.
Some do - the ones that you hear about on the news controlled by people with agendas.
Many undocumented immigrants pay taxes and contribute to society - you don’t hear about that on FOX or CNN.
One of my best friends came to the US forty years ago as an undocumented immigrant. Literally hired a coyote as a fourteen year old and crossed the Rio Grande river so he is a true wet back. He has gained citizenship now and is a proud American making over $100K per year working as a train driver in a large metro area.
In 2022 undocumented immigrants paid over $95B in in taxes. Billion, with a B.
They mow your lawns and clean your houses. They are often undocumented because they can’t get documentation due to laws enacted during the Reagan era, and I am writing from memory. Many would come to the US to support their families doing seasonal work - agriculture primarily. They would come for six months or less and return to their home. The immigration laws changed and they were not able to work seasonally, so many of them stayed in the US to support their families in Mexico.
Illegal immigrants are those that have been deported and told not to return and do return. Those that cross the border are considered undocumented - it is a misdemeanor. If you have ever had a traffic ticket, you have a misdemeanor. You are as “illegal” as undocumented immigrants looking for a better opportunity - not necessarily to stay, but to support their families.
There are some that are here primarily to exploit the system. There are some that encourage them knowing they will vote a certain way to maintain power. There are some that would like to raise others up.
Like most things, there are always many sides to any story. I have no dog in this fight. All I want is for people to think for themselves and not identify with a particular ideology because it “fits” who you think you are.
Think for yourself.
Sure not all of them are harmful, even helpful, but from what I’ve seen many cities like SF and NY have been ruined by illegal immigrants.
Continue bringing illegal immigrants and the US will turn into what’s Europe right now.
By the way, I don’t watch the news much, I already know each channel has it’s own propaganda.
Reading PA is another example. “Puerto Rican Reading” we call it. I swear… almost everyone is a puerto. Not that im necessarily against all of them, I know personally a few really nice respectable ones, but a lot of them are either rude, lazy, stupid, or a combination of that and something. My dad can testify that the city used to be beautiful. And I can tell, the architecture there is something I love. But they aren’t fixing or maintaining their properties. And with the fact that each house (which should only have 1 family) has multiple renters, the parking is atrocious. If only 1 family lived in 1 house, then there would be SO much more parking space. Im just glad I don’t live there.
Feb 8 2025
End of the first week of the cut. I regret trying for a deadlift pr. Made my back worse again. Im not doing deadlifts for awhile.
Will make another video in my youtube channel updating.
Gotta finish the big crochet hammer, and then maybe make a name tag funny thing.
Well. Once my cat gets off my lap I will get going with my day.
It’s worth appreciating that Puerto Ricans ARE American Citizens…
Oh, yeah. Your right. I forgot Puerto Rico is actually part of the US, even though its not a state. Thanks, actually.
Nevertheless, I wish a lot of them would take care of the city. It could be worse but… a lot better too. I don’t blame them for coming to the area, since I assume its better than how they lived before (because if it wasn’t they wouldn’t be moving). But they need to do their part, too.
I’ve realized that a lot of times, people, including myself of course, over generalize facts to generate engagement (be it here or other social media). “We need to get rid of the Spanish people” gets a LOT more engagement than “We need to deport/incarcerate the violent criminals that are not citizens of the US”. The former is drastic, and provoking, while the latter is just, ‘yeah… duh’ and won’t really get clicks.
ANYWAYS
Stats for end of W1 of cutting
Weight: 172.5. Uh… I assume this is inflammation. Im still sore. Yesterday I was 173 lbs, so I reweighed today. Next Sunday my weight should be following the downward trend, I would think.
Chest size: Its really difficult to track this and get the same number. I can get anywhere from 39-41 inches just by how I position/tighten the measuring tape. So Il just be relying on visuals from now on with this. I cant get a reliable measurement site.
Waist: 34 inches
Biceps: 14 inches (down 1/4 inch, I assume from depleted glycogen stores)
Quads: 24.5 inches (up 1/4 inch, probaby inflammation from being sore)
In the process of editing my video now. Will post in a bit.
Yesterday I had 1.5 Cornish hens for dinner, with rice and peas.
Days total: 2658 kcal, 142g fat, 161g carbs, 190g protein
Feb 9 2026 W1D1 Operator+Black. Conditioning
Not sure what I want to do. Either HIC and the like, or LSS. Il have to stay after school for this. Nothing with kettlebells, sadly, because of my back. Wish It would heal up already..
Will do some stretches now
I didn’t do my conditioning, purposefully. Its my dad’s 50th birthday today, so I came home normal time to help set up stuff. I can do conditioning tomorrow afternoon.
Ate a decent amount of good food, but ate some crap too. I guess I gotta track it.
The piece of cake I had… eeuehhhehhuhuhhh so much sugar… (in a bad way… ughhh)
Feb 10 2026 W1D2 Probably nothing
Im sick, again. I don’t know why. Il try lifting, but I don’t know how well it’ll go.
If I can lift today;
Bench
150 x 5 reps for 3-5 sets
Squat
195 x 5 reps for 3-5 sets
Pulllups
Below BW, so BW x 5 reps x 3-5 sets
Nope. Im staying home. I’ve a fever.
Well yesterday was fat. Ate a bunch of crap and stayed in bed doing nothing most of the day. But, I did get some movement in and that made me feel a bit better.
Anyways
Feb 11 2025 W1D3 ???
Not sure what Im doing today. I will take it easy, as im still sick. I feel MUCH better though, praise the Lord. Only really feel a bit congested, thats it. I may do some light indoor cardio when I get home from school today, to get moving. But nothing serious. I think Il actually formally start Operator+Black next week, then. But I shouldnt make any plans because they normally don’t occur as i intend. So I will see what happens. I should be able to do it next week though.
