I'm liking the bodyweight PR.

Thank you very much guys. I'm slowly upping the peanut butter intake. It's a fine line between helping the weight gain and making my stomach so upset that I can't eat anything for a few hours haha. I'm working on it though!

Nice job on the BW increase. . . just remember to chant "get swole, get swole, get swole" as you eat your chunky peanut butter to get maximum results!

Ben, I empathize with you on this issue as I am consistently crapping out peanut butter nowadays. Once your body gets used to it, its not too bad.
