@BanditoKeith The author is apparently a bodybuilder so the stuff they're doing is most likely for some specific reason. I can't say for sure what that reason is though
@Joey102 Taking a static picture and posing live is very different. You're correct when it comes to looking good in front of a camera but I just thought I'd offer the bodybuilding perspective since it's different from how these things normally are.
@Joey102 When it comes to bodybuilding, more experienced people tend not to get a pump before a competition because it will make it harder to feel exactly what muscles are being activated during their program. Getting a pump also makes it easier for your muscles to shake when posing which is bad.
@LoktarOgar Hey, translator for Macho Max here. The missing text on page 18 is missing in Japanese as well. https://gyazo.com/620bbb60dbf8e774616614f342cedc56

Fair enough, I was thinking that the bubbles being long or wide would clue people in as for it being different but I guess not. I'll talk about possibly leaving it there for future chapters (although we probably won't change it for already cleaned chapters if we end up doing it)...
@frjoethesecond
I don't see how that's remotely close. One is a complete change of meaning while the other is removal of text which just clutters up a bubble without adding anything for the English reader. If I'm wrong then please tell me how.
@frjoethesecond
Because we've already removed it for other chapters and want to keep it consistent. I didn't check the chapter properly before uploading...
Hello! Today I will be uploading the chapter since our group leader has some stuff to take care of. Happy reading!
Edit: I noticed that the panels where the characters speak English in the raws (the panels with Japanese underneath) still has the Japanese attatched. We will re-upload the chapter...
