I think the shirt is an XL, XXL's fit pretty well depending on brand. Just trying to show width in those pictures not really the best, but meh. In the video I haven't worked my legs in two weeks and that's how they look. I really really hate compression, the lines on my legs are more noticeable.

Thanks Olddawg, really want to get back in the gym, but with the antibiotics, and everything I feel like laying off would be a good idea.

So got back from my check up. My cultures came back normal, but the DR. was like no way, looked at my back and said "well there's your problem you have abscesses, judging by how hard this is to kill, and how many abscesses I can see you've had, it's probably MRSA"

So now I have

Rifampin 300mg twice a day for 7 days
Bactrim DS Twice a day for 21 days

Rifampin is typically used to treat active Tuberculosis, so Hopefully it will knock shit out, I was warned that my bodily fluids (sweat, tears, urine, and saliva) may all turn reddish orange, and that it's a sign the meds are working.

One of my friends was surprised they haven't just given me IV antibiotics, but who knows what's up with that. Anyway Imma go over my diet, and stuff.

My diet has been pretty fun, most mornings I have 7 eggs, 1 cup Kefer, 1 cup Orange juice, blueberries, pineapple, and some Organic waffles with syrup and butter.

Lunches are 10oz homemade garlic mashed potatoes, 8oz ground beef, 2-3oz mexican cheese, and some spagetti sauce.

First home meal is usually a can of tuna with home made mayo, and 2 cups jasmine rice, and 1 cup full fat organic greek yogurt

Next meal Steak with 2-3 oatmeal and creme packets, with 2oz 100% Cranberry juice not from concentrate, and 2oz Apple cider vinegar with the mother.

Last meal 7 more eggs, with some orange juice if I feel like I need sugar.

Most of my meals change, but they're all pretty healthy, and I keep to listening to my body to determine what I need to eat, I will have ice cream if I feel like it or get hungry between meals. I cook most things in organic coconut oil for the MCT's, I do also eat a lime, and sometimes a kiwi during the day because they're delicious. I have been keeping my protein a little lower (200g-275g) per day, and the carbs higher (400g-500g) per day to see how that goes. I try to eat foods that taste good and that I like, I feel like if I don't like the food that will hinder my bodies ability to use it. Kinda like my body will tell me what it wants by what it feels like eating. So if I usually eat Steak, with Pasta, and yogurt, but I feel like eating Tilapia, and rice, I'm going to eat Tilapia and rice. When I was bulking I was slowly losing bodyfat and gaining mass, so that was really good, I think most the definition was from deeper striation and muscle growing from within the skin.

I can't really think of anything else to add, but if you're curious about anything feel free to ask.

Hope you all are well.
