You’re seriously killing me, my friend.[/quote]

I seriously weigh so much more than you and most likely have a much shorter wingspan too…

Of all people, you’d be the last I’d pick to compete against.

I’m really thrilled that everything is coming back for you so fast. At least it seems pretty fast to me.

Really loving the vibe in here. Your starting numbers are really good, youll be back in full action before ya know it.
200 leg curls, was this for a burn out factor?

Snap, I’m really surprised how fast my strength seems to be coming back. My form is spot on, I’ve ask my guru to verify form on all my lifts and he just nods his head.
I just have to be sure I don’t make too big a jump and re-damage anything.

Up, thanks, and my PL coach throws those for endurance and active recovery too.

Went to gym this evening w/hubby for cardio- treadmill hiit, worked up to 6 cycles of 45:45 secs, then 15 min steep incline walk
Sauna for more shoulder stretches

Hey darlin, :slight_smile:

Everything seems to be going GREAT for you! so happy!

thanks Mimsy !

Is that 2 40lb links?

Chains might well be my next gym purchase.

Glad things are coming back. Wow! With those chains, you look like someone out of Mad Max.

that picture with the chains is awesome; i may put it on a t-shirt

yeah chains!!

and I must admit in my secret heart I’m glad to see that there are days when the weights are heavy even for the squat queen :wink: gives us mortals hope.

Don’t know why that pic is sideways - makes me look really thick and short, lol

You are doing so great! Wow, was I surprised to stop in here tonight and see the numbers you are putting up already. Way to go!

I love that picture of you wearing the chains. So completely bad ass.

Exactly what I was going to say. I truly hope I can see you lift in person someday. Your talent is just unbelieveable to me.

Snap, my hubby is starting to travel to visit some bases, I’ve already told him if any are to CO I may want to go, mainly to come lift with you!

See you are alreay ahead of the game with your benching.

James-yep guess one could say I’m pretty determine to achieve a Pro total. I got a pretty good deal and as I’m finding out -“Build it and they will come”

Kimba- thanks for checking up on me, right now it’s a quandry heal or lift heavy, so I’m actually increasing 10-15 lbs per week on my bench instead of 5-10 I told myself I would stick to, but I’m still trying to stay in 15 reps range so can tendons little by little. I want to max out but trying to wait it out another few weeks

Joe-slowly but surely, really finding out I didn’t lose too much lower body strength which surprises me

So cool girl!!

All this SSB talk is intriguing. I’m going to add it to my wish list. Doubt it will happen soon, but I’d like to have one.
