400 would be a great milestone. Of course, you’ll probably enjoy your accomplishment for a brief moment till you mind says, “405”! The big 4 plates is next, etc., etc.

4 months off - 2 months looking for a job, then 2 months working my ass off to get productive in the one I found, all of it seated over a keyboard. Whole body is crunched up like a nautilus and weak like a squid on land. Hence, Hell Week.
Going to try to do a little something each day. Pretty sure tomorrow will have som I-Y-T-W’s in it. Gotta open those shoulders up.

Glad you’re back. I think you and I have some kind of senority on here. Back when there were only a few of us who posted regular and the posts were a lot more personnal. Guess that just means getting old when you start talking the old days.

Yeah, I’ve been posting here on and off for 12 years at least. I keep coming back because the foolishness index is lower here than elsewhere and folks here can live and let live.

Do you know where @ralphiedacat has gone?
I purposely limited the weights last session.
Didn’t matter, my legs are wrecked. Can’t train.
Lesson learned: Don’t ever stop.
