Great to see you back at it! And congrats on dropping the smokes…even if for vapes.
I think you will be surprised at how quickly you hit those goals.
Choosing to go beltless? Or you can’t find it? lol[/quote]
“Now where did I put that thing?”
I am having senior moments actually. Forgot Marlon Brando’s name the other day, though I could remember all the movies I’ve seen him in.
Choosing to go beltless. I want to build up the lumbar erectors on my right side. They and the quadratus lumborum are still not right since I ruptured that disc and I haven’t been dealing with it - just belting up.

You always seem to have an informed approach to what you do. I am sure theforward progress will go smoothly. I’m just glad you are here for us to see it.
I hope you start training again, because you will be the perfect N=1 test of the ol’ “muscle memory” tenet of training.
Personally, I have not been away from a gym for more than 2 and a half weeks in 30+ years. Somebody would have to shoot me to keep me away from a gym for more than 2 and a half months. (And no, Mr. Fate, I am most definitely not tempting You!!!)
I am 55. My “numbers” (except maybe deadlift) are all lower, and I haven’t barbell benched or overhead pressed in months and months (dumbbells instead). But everybody flatters me by telling me how great I look. Subjectively speaking, I think I look better than I did when my “numbers” were higher. My joints definitely are better off.
In my .02 opinion, the issue with people who log publicly is that once they can’t give it their all, and they know their “numbers” will look “weak”, they simply stop training. Or they try too hard to push their #s, and wind up getting injured, and then they stop training.
So, whether you log or not, post numbers or not, just keep training.
Probably “advice” you didn’t ask for or want, but I’ve seen it too many times, and remembering how freaking awesome you looked and lifted, I just wanted to put that out there.
I’m here, but not much. Haven’t trained in several months, had to take a menial job which wears me out too much to train. Lost weight, waist went way down. Job will be over in couple weeks.
Hey, aren’t you that really white guy, who thought he was funny sometimes ??
Formerly Zildjianman here, with a new and improved drum set Avatar!! Still training, now powerlifting in the almost 50 class, saving the world one sweater vest at a time.
Good to see you here. Let’s get back in the game, shall we
This was more tiring than it should be…or just as tiring as it should be, detrained as I am. Middle is super weak. Bring that up and the rest will get easier too.
Nothing wrong with this W0 brother. The push ups and pull ups show good
strength.
Your on track keep it coming!
