So i know this book is done but i do want to add some more info! mostly a new routine, which has some fun exercises

First off, i want to mention that do have a chronic illness that causes my body to produce defective collagen. This means that my joints are really loose because my collagen is stretchier than it should me; and for me this means i have/had chronic pain and constant dislocations of all of my joints.

Because of this, i had to quit weight training a few weeks after i initially published this book in 2021. But I restarted nearly a year ago in order to build muscle around my joints to provide stability and hold them in place (aka prevent dislocations).

I do have to say that it took me a long time to learn how to manage my symptoms enough for me to get to this place. It was not easy, and I never thought i'd be able to be weight training again.

Initially, I started my routine with a PPL (push pull leg) which a lot of gym rats swear by. But I quickly decided that i hate it and just started doing everything everyday, which probably isn't super healthy but it's fun and motivates me to actually work out.

anyways without further ado:
