Looks like your back is getting stronger and hope the hip is handling things well. I have some hip arthritis which can be painful and frustrating. There’s a lot of good progress in here.
you bench 3 plates in your younger years??
good luck!

Thanks man. The back is actually feeling pretty good atm.
Good luck with the 40 day programme. I tried it myself and really liked it but couldn’t get in the gym frequently enough to do it properly in the end. Will be watching your progress.

Not sure if this will work because I don’t know how to link to a video, but just in case anyone is wondering WTF bluebrasil and I are talking about…

Theyve got a very British sound as far as im concerned.
Maybe I’m exposing myself as an old fart, but the Alarm was very popular in the states in the 80’s, they opened for U2 in their '83 U.S. tour.
Carry on.
