Well its been a while. Lots of RL stuff including wife nearly dying since I’ve been gone but things are going well now. Managed to keep going in the gym during all of it and think I’ll get back to logging everything regularly. Weight down to 207, probably going to drop down to the 198 class.

I was just thinking about you the other day and wondering . . .
I hate that about online forums. Unless you’re connected outside the cyber world, people can just disappear. Like I wonder about Fischer as well. And a few others.
So sorry to hear about your wife! Are you still in touch with Rhonda?
Good to see you back.
Yeah I see Ronda all the time. I’ve got a couple of other women lifters who I lift with as well. One just did her first meet and she’s still stocked about it.
welcome back brother…
Welcome back. I had faith that you had not just given up training. Best wishes to the wife.
Welcome back Joe! Hope Mrs Joe is feeling better.
