Decided to challenge myself for now and started a 5x5 program for bench press. Was talking with
@O.T.I.S. about it last week and he mentioned it so figured why not. Give myself a little challenge. Gonna do it twice a week. Intend on just focusing on that and not 5x5 the other exercises. I'll still get my squats in in leg day no doubt. Just want to see my bench go up. Started with just 25s today, I'll do leg day on Wednesday or Thursday, then go back to the challenge on Friday and do 30s. Didn't want to start too high so I can pace myself.
Also today I learned that morbid obesity due to excess calories is an actual medical diagnosis. Got sent a request for drug coverage and that was the diagnosis. Wonder what that conversation was like.
Patient: Doctor, I don't know why I'm fat.
Doctor: Well it seems like you have what we call morbid obesity due to excess calories.
Patient: is there anything that you can do for me?
Doctor: Well I'll just prescribe you these pills and see if that helps.
Here's an idea, why don't you stop eating so many damn calories!
