Any chance for a before photo?

And you said you got light headed on the train to the gym. Make sure you watch this, don't want to be squatting heavy and pass out. I find myself getting light headed a lot on cuts as well, usually some quick carbs (as you did) will help with this.

I'm squatting and deadlifting Thursday for the first time in >6 months... I'm so scared. Are you doing any physical therapy or lighter leg work other than your cardio?

strengthening quads/hamstrings using super light weight, bw squats going as low as i can until discomfort, and some physical therapy exercise to restore max range of motion, good luck on your deads and squats, its gonna be ****ty for the first week, but once that muscle memory kicks in, you're good
