I didn’t post for a week, because my injured right groin just isn’t letting up. So for right now I’m not doing any lower body. So I have to straighten this out and do what I can. The tough thing about this injury is that it’s right where the leg attaches to the pelvis. Sleeping , sitting , and driving is the worst .

Sorry to hear about the injury, Tom. There’s no sign of a tear, is there?

Yesterday I weirdly felt better. I had no pain and better mobility sleeping last night. I don’t know what I just did, but I’ll take it. I decided to go today and wear some loose metal briefs.
