It seems on the versions my gym has everywhere youd want to put your grip
isnt there and is opposite of what you would find comfortable and or productive
all in all an Ok session
everyone enjoy your longish weekend.
Finding the time to do therapy after training can be a challenge for me but I make it a priority. Looks like you’re getting your therapy in which is so important. Glad to see you’re getting good work in.

thanks OG- it was two separate days - the training and the long day with PT the next morning.
that long work day left me dead for like three days- I cant do those days anymore
I dont recover well
I used to, and now that I’m back on these forums again still do, sometimes wonder what your motivations to lift are. For many of us, lifting is a sport that we love and compete in. Many others use lifting as an aid to other sports. Throwing, highland games, swimming, water sking, I even remember some speed skating and a bizare and brutal team sport popular in south east asia whose name I forget. Others, although not so many in the oldtimers forum lift to look good. Your stated purpose is more or less general fitness, making yourself more capable for whatever comes up from day to day. Is this your primary motivation, or is there something else going on? So as not to leave false assumptions in play, I am much impressed with your training and admire you for the level you have taken it too.
Hey Kev- just checking in to see how you are doing.

Yep in your log you guessed - I’m formerly kmcnyc
Right now I’m still rehabbing a new acl and re-attached hamstring and some related junk.
So for now it’s just trying to get back to my life

You nailed the song. John Henry’s Hammer is the one I was talking about. I have another version I really like but that’s it. So cool that you knew that. Nice routine and given the work load and considering being beat up seems like you’re doing well.

I like fluff. Lots of fluff. Way to work around a long work schedule and a sore knee.
Your work schedule is crazy. I am not sure how you do it. And then to actually get workouts in as well. Props…
