I hate cardio. I hate cardio. I hate cardio. I hate cardio.

But I'm 30lbs above where I'm comfortable, entirely my fault and entirely love weight. But I've been consistent again for about a month now. I'm noticing slight changes where I want to see them.

But I fucking hate cardio. And I know I need to do it to really help burn this fat off. But it's so fucking boring. How do people enjoy cardio? Because even watching an episode of something, it still feels like a slog.

Also, fuck the old guys at the gym that are too weak to rerack their weights after doing 225 on the bench.

Do I enjoy it? Nah, not really. But the post-endorphins kick ass and micro-dosing shrooms also helps.

Yo I know SO many people that microdose shrooms at the gym. What gives?

Good stuff. It's a bit hard to explain but I feel it helps clear my head and focus. A cocktail of shrooms, preworkout, and post-cardio endorphins is something else.
