My finger is still aching but taking 600 of Motrin twice a day seems to be helping. I’m still staying away from any exercise I have to squeeze the bar for a while.

Looking good and feeling great.
Just a trick I learned from my Doctor-you may wish to alternate the ibuprofen with naproxin for your finger. There are benefits to your system with changing up the meds, less stress on the internal organs or something like that.

Thanks GV. I’ll have to try the alternating meds trick. My finger is 75% better. Doesn’t ache doing everyday things but when I try to really grip something it still hurts.
Didn’t have time to workout before my son’s hockey practice so I grabbed my t-bell I made with 70lbs loaded and brought it with me. I went way back in the darkest corner of the parking lot so I wouldn’t have any spectators. Next time I want to bring a db as well for 1 arm clean and press.

2a. squats (no belt) 225x5,10,15,20
2b. pullovers 60x4x10
Still avoiding any exercise that requires a firm grip. I’d hoped to do a last set of 225 for 25 reps but just didn’t have it in me today.
How do I know I’m getting old? Going to see a Fleetwood Mac concert tonight.

Thanks Kevin. It’s funny that I really don’t care that people know I swing a sledgehammer and carry rocks but I don’t want to embarrass my sons. So I run off in the darkest corners of a parking lot to workout so no one will see me.

Fleetwood Mac rocks!

They put on a great show. Voices all sounded great. Lindsey Buckingham, who is like 70 years old, never came off the stage and is an incredible guitar player.

Injured finger feeling much better. Rows didn’t hurt at all. Not feeling it with squats tonight so I kept the reps low. Hopefully 275x5x10 next time.

Squats felt much better tonight. Limiting factor is my conditioning.
The energy of some of the older rock bands is incredible and their skills are phenomenal. Nice benching and squatting.

You’d think all the years of drug use and smoking would slow them down.
Loaded the 70 lb t handle and 60 lb db and worked outside at my boys’ practices.

First time I’ve dead lifted in a month. Felt good. This past Friday, Sat, Sun I was just outside of Philadelphia with my youngest son for a hockey tournament. He did great and we had a bunch of laughs. But it felt good to eat something other than a cheeseburger and drink some water today.
