Gorgeous!!  

😊😘 

How can you look so relaxed and have a million muscles showing? 😁 Looking great, Arnold!  

I'm not flexing like normal but definitely tense hahaha, thanks, I'll take the Arnold comments nonstop even if he makes me look small. 😅 

Looking strong, Diablo!! Random, but for one sec, I thought you had a lip ring. 

Hahaha, no, I guess PF needs to clean their mirrors. No tatts or piercings not that there is anything wrong with that. 😁 

And thanks, still working my way back up from where I was pre shutdown.  

Diablo, I’m sure you’ll get there in no time. You are super focused and a pro at this by now. Keep inspiring everyone to work hard and eat well! 💪🏻🍩 

I appreciate the donut emoji! :P 

Fatty? haha, that kind of talk and thought process is what holds back you "hard gainers". Thanks though. :D 

On the other hand, not caring enough about it holds people like me back from getting to my bf goals. There are pros and cons to it. Need to find that perfect balance, somehow. 

looking shreded! 

You look great! Maybe investing in a set of free-weights you can use at home might help you with reaching your goals? I know it's not the same, but you might be able to find free-weight workouts that mimic certain movements at the gym. 

Thanks, Elizabeth and Magpiezoe! I have some free weights at home, the gym isn't the issue. I am just recovering from losing some size and strength from when we couldn't go to the gym. The amount of weight I moved at home vs. the gym was greatly reduced plus I think I did too much running. I always seem to overdo it, haha 

But really, I'm not complaining with the progress, just a comment I made since Newname mentioned strength. It's going well! 

even relaxed your cut man. love it.  

I thought you had a lip ring too, but knew it must be a reflection. Phew I’m glad! I can’t stand body piercings and tattoos. 🤪 

I don't know that I'd want the lip ring and tattoos aren't his style but either way, he'd look sexy with a tattoo it just would go so contrary to his personality that I couldn't picture it. Just wouldn't fit "him". I used to have my tongue pierced. How's that for a fun fact. 😜 

I never would have guessed, DP. When I was in high school, everybody wanted a tongue ring, including myself. Never went through with it because I was too chicken. We were always told horror stories about tongues getting infected and chipped teeth to discourage them and it worked. I settled for a navel ring and a small tattoo when I was going through a stage 16-18. I remember going to the village downtown with a fake id and thinking I was really badass. Now I forget I have the tattoo and the belly ring would just look ridiculous. I still have the piercing in my jewelry box though. 

OMG, memories. my friend did her own and she was a bleeder. never for me.
