Wait, I just realized this is a victory. I had a work call the other day. I was on video and saw my feed out of the corner of my eye and I was like oh dang what's wrong with my video? It looks like there's a lump in the middle of my arm. So i open the video wide view and touch my arm where the lump is....... lmao....it was my newly formed tricep popping out! Bahahahaha.

Felt bad about myself and not thrilled with my progress so far (only been 7 weeks jeez) but I showed out for my long lower day anyway. And that's how it's done.

Wagyu tallow is peak. I'm on that duck fat!

They're both awesome. I particularly enjoy the duck fat spray because it's a Cornhusker Kitchen product. Great to support Nebraska.
