Hey bro, excited to see your progress. Do you weight yourself daily? If so would love to see ya daily weight in here!

Can be a mind fuck for some people, be interesting to see it rise then drop again etc. maybe that’s just me😂

Hey mate, yeah so weighing myself daily is something that i do, will be interesting that’s for sure. I do get coached by AJ Morris so he does a fantastic job at everything he does
