Yeah, the cellulitis is back in my lower leg. I think a short hospital stay is in my near future, Pete.

Well guys wish me luck. I'm getting on the bench again for the first time in years. I did 6 months of P90X to melt the flab & tone up in preperation. I'll be doing a 3 day a week full body workout. Doing a pyramid plan. Bench press, barbell curl, french press, bent over rows, military press, shrugs, squats. I'm thinking one set of crunches to failure. Debating that or multiple sets. Any thoughts on that? Still a bit sore from my warmup run on the routine yesterday. Maybe a little too ambitious, but we'll see.

A french press? Other than a device for making delicious coffee, I've never heard that term used. Just looked it up on youtube, and I've always called those skull crushers. You doing them standing, sitting or lying down?

As far as the workout, personally I'd throw a deadlift in there, maybe in place of bent-over rows and move the rows instead of shrugs, but other than that it's a nice push/pull/push/pull/push/pull/push workout. And, I don't know how old you are, but that three days a week would kill my joints.

I was doing them sitting, but I think it'll be easier for me to isolate the triceps & keep my elboys from moving if a lay down & do the skull crusher version. That's the way I've done it with dumbells any way. I just turned 30 in Feb.

Sorry to hear that Tom. Hope that can be avoided. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help.

I find it more effective either laying down or standing up. Good luck with the regimen, and remember to listen to your body.

Thought I'd throw this out there. It's a store near where I live and has reasonable prices. 27.99 for a 5lb tub. The usual 2 scoops = 42 G of Protien.

How you feeling Tom? Ready to get back in there?

Volume shoulders/back day for me, with hang cleans, standing overhead press, lat pulldowns and HS high rows. Spin tomorrow. I've dropped about 20lb in the last three months or so, would like to drop another 10-20 in the next two and a half, before my wedding. Someday soon I'll be able to start drinking again...

15 min on the elliptical was the most I could do and then a light upper body work out at the gym Sunday night. Concentrated on slow clean movements.

It's been 5 months since I've been in a gym

How's the leg doing, Tom?

Infection is all gone but I am having outpatient surgery Thursday to drain all the blood that stlll remains 3 weeks later. I am hoping that I can start training some upper body within about a week, but that might be optomistic...I will have to see how bad the incision is when I wake up Thursday. Thank you for asking, hope to be giving y'all some encouraging news soon. In the meantime, you guys keep kickin' ass for me.

Time off will probably be good for you there Tom. Im sure you havent had a good break in a long time. Rest up, smash up the weights when you get back.

I just realized I sounded like a total wimp here around you beasts. As an excuse, I tore my ACL in Jan and had ACL surgery 8 weeks ago. So I've had an excuse to be lazy-er.

Sounds like a good excuse to me. And don't worry, we won't judge you for that.
