Lying down at the leg press machine at the gym and I'm looking at the mirror going "Damn I wish I had less belly fat so I'd be happier with how I look" only to feel that area and realize that it's my chest, and it's gotten bigger. That's one way to notice gains lol

I have never been to this store. I don't really know where I am. I am very eepy. So clearly a good day to throw at an RCQ. Some SB changes this time that are completely untested so let's see how this works
