Crippler, it’ll come. No doubts.
When I get to the PI I only get to a gym with weights maybe twice a week. Gonna make it a point to try to do some handstand push ups and work on my pull ups. Lot of tree limbs around.
Any big rocks there?

Hams finally felt normal. Trying CTs 6 day/week workout to work all body parts 3 times a week. We’ll see. Workout seemed more like a warmup.
Saw several lawyers in my age group over weekend. Guys telling me I look like I’m in great shape. Well…they’d had open heart surgeries, cancer etc. Heard about several others who had died. I’m both lucky & it’s my working out all these years.
Real tempted to make lawyer jokes here but I won’t.
Go ahead. I love lawyer jokes. I have one pretty good one.

Better than Monday’s “warmup”. Too tired yesterday to work out, so I might have to settle for 4 vice 6 day workout routine.

You’re looking strong. Your new gym looks like it has everything. Which is very cool.
No rocks though.

Eating better yesterday resulted in the barbell 275 rows. Glute ham machine raises are getting easier.
Finally checking in. Between you and NHL you’re doing some serious barbell rows.
hel320, thanks. I can’t swim as well as you, but I’m aging ok.
