Thanks brother, I took your advice on going a little lighter, especially with leg day… post surgery symptoms were creeping up, nausea and severe fatigue…pushing back to the top dont stop bro@LeNguyen EVO family support
Thanks so much brother, EVO family has really kept my spirits up these past several months with all the support and encouragement, I couldn’t have been back in the gym this early without the fire you all kept burning in me for training, a special thanks to @stevesmi & @Mobster for all the Evolutionary.org episodes!! Beginning in the hospital to my bedridden time at home, these last several months those episodes really kept me sane, lol…looking great man, so proud of your comeback

drop at least 70% of weight go slow broThanks brother, I took your advice on going a little lighter, especially with leg day… post surgery symptoms were creeping up, nausea and severe fatigue…
Will do brotherdrop at least 70% of weight go slow
glad to hear that man. we are going to shout you on a future episode !Thanks so much brother, EVO family has really kept my spirits up these past several months with all the support and encouragement, I couldn’t have been back in the gym this early without the fire you all kept burning in me for training, a special thanks to @stevesmi & @Mobster for all the Evolutionary.org episodes!! Beginning in the hospital to my bedridden time at home, these last several months those episodes really kept me sane, lol…
@Mobster how should I set up my volume to get the most optimal hypertrophy, my goal is to gain lean size, I am trying to eventually achieve 235lbs / 106kls…Too much volume for me
Thank you so much brother, that is a great honor!!glad to hear that man. we are going to shout you on a future episode !
No brother, no pains… doctors say if I feel pain or taste bile in my mouth I am to go to the ER immediately. Only symptoms I feel at times is severe fatigue that last for several days if I push too hard and nausea…do you have any weird pains when you're training or after
Thank you so much brotherYou are my hero making this comeback
I believe so, doctors say my heart is very strong and I believe all the training and healthy eating had put my body in an advantage compared to the normal dormant person, just my theory…but all in all it was God that hand his hand on me! Things declined so fast those 4 days and events that coerced me to arrive at the hospital was nothing short of devine intervention. God was merciful to me that day and I have to give Him all the GloryI wonder if you're able to come back quicker because of your prior good health
Yes you are right @caligirl85, over did it last week with one of my work out sessions that caused me to have fatigue that lasted 3 days… I will definitely have to cut back for a little while…yeah no need to over do things, pace yourself
Good jobMonday 9/15
