Workout
My workout seems effective...
I'm a regular at the gym, working on my upper chest, lower chest, biceps, triceps, back, hamstrings, and quads, but only my belly seems to be putting on mass.
Beer
Drink, Drank, Drunk Dunkel
Even though I can't achieve a six-pack in the gym, it doesn't stop me from grabbing a six-pack at the supermarket—no one can resist Dunkel!
Coffee
Turning coffee into code
No doubt about this. A coffee a day, keeps the doctor away. But 5 is probably too much.
Food
