I really need to take stretching and foam rolling seriously. Went for a massage yesterday and when she was working on my traps/shoulders which were so tight that I swear if it was an MMA fight I might've tapped out

Its tough to not be bored stretching, so what I've taken to doing is stretching every 3rd or 4th set during my workouts. I just spend around 2 minutes stretching whatever muscled I'm working on at the time.
I actually feel that it helps me get a better pump, which is a neat added bonus. But overall it just feels good as fukk. Then, I don't have to suffer through a boring 10 minutes stretching session at the end of my workout that I will inevitably skip

Lol, how is stretching boring? Y'all men, I swear. Those 5-10 minutes to breathe stretch and relax are a godsend, cuz after that it's back to reality

Follow me to the truth
All my weekends spent drinking 
Keep it semi clean eating and healthy eating 5-6 days a week and drank my ass off 1 day out the week

I pretty much never stretch
Workout done, food for the week is bought, back on Low-Carb/Low Gluten starting tomorrow. Money was tight saving for this car downpayment and had to make due with the junk food I already had. Haven't felt this flabby and sick in a long time.

Breh I was killing 2-3 bottles of henny damn near every Sat/Sun. Since mid January I've had only 1 weekend where I drank. While I do want some henn, the weight loss in the meantime has been what has motivated me to keep it going. To be honest, I don't even miss it. I've also been avoiding bars tho because I know that shyt will go right out the window lol. Right now I've given up drinking and smoking for lent(I'm not religious but did it just to see if I could) and the change in my performance has been amazing. I can breath again.
Just started using it last week. I don't think I've made it a minute before having to take a break. I love it tho and the best part is it's always empty since everyone seems to be scared of it.
