Proof the scales don't show all the changes
*thought we'd modify the exercise so bro could fit
doing single arm so we don't have to worry about fitting issues
moving his leg out the way so he has room
bro didn't have hope
So normal there's gunna be an issue getting past the legs
*but then...
*in shock at what I just saw
"What issue"
*hasn't realised yet
"You ain't ever fit a machine preacher in your life"
*not getting it
Is that good?
*how bro used to fit
Do you remember the video? Orange gym
You sat there
Machine preacher on
"Hitting ur legs and ur like it don't work"
And you're like it don't work
*this is the same machine!
"You've shrunk"
*the realisation
"Bro your petite"
"I'm a Petite Latina"
Non scale victories 😂
