Bodybuilding Against The Grain

[Dirtnasty]

Damn right you did. I never seen you with striations. I think you look great. And your still huge bro. How's your lady like it?

She like me either way. We both are attracted to each outside of looks although I told her she makes it easy being smoking hot

Genuinely asking out of ignorance, is heat index of 100 out of the ordinary high for where you live?

They called it a heat wave.. I'm used to it living down south in Florida. Used to frame houses down there in the heat but also at the same time I wasn't bodybuilding just working. The temp was 88 but with the heat index they claim 100. Maine is location
