If the gym was open, I would’ve already been there and done that!!

I forgot whether you have a home gym or what. Anyway, now that you mention it, I’m off to the apartment fitness center . . .

Seems your back is on the mend. Good work.
And you are strong as a bull on those benchies.

You know what the turtle says…“slow and steady wins the race!”

I’ve noticed an interesting thing with my benching. The more back work I do, the stronger my bench gets. My idiot brain is finally getting that!

I like that last lower session

seems your back is moving along.

what feels like a million years ago-
A S&C type in college used to preach
the back powers the front

I think he meant more the Pchain doing all the work
but its true for benching too.
nice work
