Yeah mostly. It could be anywhere from 1 week to 7 weeks before I at least do lower body lifting again. The uncertainty sucks.
Accutane is legal in USA. I refused it from my dermatologist like 3 times because I was scared of side effects and wanted to get everything I could out of topicals. In terms of how skin/lips/eyes feel, topical sides are way worse than accutane and are way less effective to boot. Accutane sucks for energy, digestion, and libido though. Somewhat for mental state, but it's more anhedonia than depression. Just kind of empty, not really sad. I am definitely scaling down to 25mg now.
I had the WOAT first date yesterday. That's okay though. I go on a lot of first dates. A lot of them are really fun even if I don't want a second. It's more about the activity/new place than just the person. I feel good on this front, still.
Chest:
Incline: up to 225x8 (pr), 185x10, 165x8
Flat db: 34kgsx8, 30sx12, 9
Machine incline: 25-35x10x7 30 seconds rest
Side raises: 12x5
Gave up, no triceps. I guess it's cool I set an all time wr on incline! But I think I prefer dumbbells.
It's so hot and damp in the gym it makes me feel way more tired and the workout feels way harder than it really is. Fortunately I'm on break now and can just train at 7am if I want to.
