5x5 journey to incredible strength

Good deal.

Hey I think those adrenal support supplements you reccomended me are really doing the trick. I feel pretty damn energized all day AND I still have strep throat. Those are keepers for me, can't wait to see what I feel like after surgery. Thanks for reccomending those hah love them.

They are really awesome aren't they. Keep me going when I'm deep in a work shift
