    Do you have a bb vacuum attached to your stomach on those rows? Big weight as usual!

    Staying strong, bro. Agreed on the heat. Makes me not want to do any warmup since I'm already sweaty.

    Not sure of my exact weight now, but undoubtedly been losing a little during this heat wave, skipping a few meals too, feeling good though nonetheless.

    Actually finding the hot weather of value, hard to explain though...sort of like some kind of natural physical (plus mental & spiritual) healing therapy taking place.
