Progress… April 8th, 2025. Another successful pull-day. Managed to get 400 pull-ups throughout the day with 150 of them being weighted. Appreciate my homies who kept count on stream because I was losing track lol. Today is leg day once again. It never ends… but that’s a good thing. Been a bit rough with my schedule being hectic af lately. Trying to get a bunch of work done to meet some deadlines this month along with doing my best to stay on track with my fitness goals & keeping my head from exploding from my own delusions it’s definitely been taxing. Sleep has been partially nonexistent & when I do manage to get some rest I know it’s not enough. But I don’t stop until it’s done so it is what it is. My stubborn ass will never quit & sometimes I don’t know if that’s a good thing or a bad thing lol. I’m aware that this is not conducive to my gains but I figure if I can just get past these next few weeks I should be good. I’ve been through worse so it’s just a drop in the bucket so to speak & it’s a somewhat good busy so no complaints here. I will say it’s gonna be rough getting through this leg day today being as I’ve been up for like 4 days now & I haven’t eaten since yesterday lol. I constantly tell myself to stop being a bitch so I can push myself to keep it moving but I’m not gonna lie, the 10 mile walk to the gym & back on leg day definitely has me trying to make some fxcking excuses right now lmao. Anyhow, I hope all of my homies & loved ones are well. Back to the grind. Sorry for not keeping up with some of ya’ll. It’s been a lonely road & busy af for sure but we gotta keep pushing. No one’s gonna do it for us & quite frankly most people will give no fxcks whether you win or lose so might as well win. Remember most real progress happens during the most repetitive & mundane things you choose to do through discipline & consistency throughout your life. It’s the small wins that add up to the big one that everyone sees & you will fail more than you win. That’s where the growth happens. I fail everyday & I will keep growing. I’ve accomplished more at my lowest points in life than many have during their highest just by sticking it through. Never stop…
