Liver King Recovered (kinda), drive, determination, work outs back, feeling like the King again!

Liver King is back... while I still haven't recovered my weight, still all the way down to 182 pounds (from 202 lbs in late Dec 2022, 196 lbs Jan 2nd, 2022), I'm feeling great and working out hard AF again. Some mornings I wake up, walk outside to get the early morning sun (yes, through the eyes, on face, on skin), piss on my favorite tree (part of my morning "routine"), connect my bare barbarian calloused feet to the earth and then hurry inside to weigh myself to see how much weight I've regained since Liver King was sick and weak... to assess my GAINZ! To my dismay, many mornings the scale reads 178 lbs. I step off, let the scale reset and retest as if maybe there was a scale malfunction. Nope, still 178 lbs. I will work out goddam harder today, and tomorrow, yeah tomorrow, I'll gain a few pounds... LMAO. MOOOAR!

‍

I retested my Liver King Strict Press Challenge and clocked 8:30. Massive improvement and massive stoke... so much so, I followed it with another Barbarian (my 117th renewal). My strength, drive, determination, and zeal for adventure is full send again. The bigger the setback, the bigger the comeback. Anything else ya wanna know, comment or question below...
