Everyone is obsessed with wearing sunscreen; I’m just the opposite. A person should aspire to posses a warm skin tone, especially when training. No one wants to see your ghostly flabby skin. Pro tip: take sun on both sides of your body, not just your front, otherwise you’ll look like a fucking retard. I know, MUH skin cancer, but that’s largely genetic. Take a fucking DNA test, for Christ’s sake. Also, and do yourselves a favor, and put some skin lotion on your face afterwards, otherwise you’ll age fast and begin looking like a prune by the age of 30.
A lot of men I know only work out their upper torso, manlets pretending to be strong because they have nice biceps. But if you have weak legs, you’ll get knocked the fuck out in a fight. Pro tip: never skip leg day. Last week I nearly killed myself on leg day and will do so today as well, not because it’s easy or because I like to do it — but because it’s hard.
Italian markets are getting hammered, off by 1.3%. I don’t give a shit anymore. I’m sure it’s political. Futures are flat, gold +0.4%, copper +1.6%, and WTI +0.5% — the highest levels since 2014. You can thank President Trump for that too, believe me.

PS. Leg day is three times per week in my gym.
fly is gayer than Liberace and Elton John squared.
Counterpoint: If you always skip leg day and always do chest/arms/back then you can get nice and top-heavy. Everybody loves a nice, top-heavy person.
