Still alive for now. Still got both lungs.

Good to hear. Rest up and get better. I want to see some handstand push-ups in your future.

In office for few minutes today. About 90% better. Found out I had “hospital pneumonia” so went in for few days. I’m presently at 90% oxygenated blood, so that’s got to get better to get me back to working out.

Guess I’m starting to act my age…

I’m guessing someone who is not in the kind of shape you are, would have a harder time.

Well that’s some comfort. Today I feel even better so hopefully in about a week I’ll be normal. Whatever that is.

Well, I hope to see you back at it soon.

Merry Christmas biker!

Happy new year guys. Felt good enough to do 2 x 4 handstand pushups. So much for muscle memory. Anyway I’ll wait one more week before going to gym. Blood oxygenation is still about 91 and I’m breathless. I’ve shed 20 lbs in last 3 weeks from no appetite.

I think my problem came from misdiagnosis by first dr I saw before Thanksgiving.

Hopefully you can get back at it. I know I miss your exploits.

Happy new year Mac. Sorry to read you’ve been dealing with Covid and pneumonia. That’s a rough combo. Hope you’re back to 100% very soon.

Blood oxygenination @ 91% is only problem now. I get breathless walking to mailbox in front yard. That hopefully will change soon.

Happy New Year to you.I am not jealous of your ice baths. Incredible.

back at it
incline barbell press (machine) 3 x 10 w/50, 100, 100
low incline dumbbell press 3 x 10 w/30, 35, 40
neutral grip pullups 5 x 5
lateral raises (machine) 4 x 10 w/50
cable curls 4 x 10 w/35
single arm high pulley wrist curl 4 x 15 w/35

Got to start somewhere. Seems strange the handstand pushups are a bit easier than the pullups. thought they’d be the same.
