Haven’t seen around in a while. You okay?

Thanks for asking. I’ll just write “I’m better”; 3 more weeks’ gym layoff.

50 pushups in 45 seconds left me really winded.

8 weeks out from surgery. We’ll see what else I can do.

Great return.
Good luck going forward.

Thanks Clee. Your squat/deadlift work surely motivates the 40ish guys on here.
