Thanks Pete and to everyone else for the well wishes. Things are still a mess, but I managed to drag myself into the Gym this morning. I still don't quite feel like myself, but time will heal everything.

I hope everyone is getting it done in the Gym. I havent been posting much but if you have a specific question feel free to PM me.

Well wishes sent your way, Frank.

Just got back from a great shoulder workout. Laterals, bent over laterals, military's, straight bar and dumbbell shrugs. Did some pretty intense drop sets all the way through. Hope everybody gets some work in so we can pig out later!

Good thoughts to ya Frank, hope everything turns better for you!

How did this fall to page 2. Light gym this week right arm still feels like crap with the pinched nerve and all. Chiropractor has got me down for once a week instead of 3 times a week.

Kinda sucks that being right handed, my left arm has totally beat out the right arm in strength for now.

Another great week just finished up, well it will be after legs tomorrow. I maxed on bench for the first time in years and got 285 with room to spare. I think 300 is a very real possibility soon. I crushed arms just now so I am typing with a great arm pump right now, it's almost like drunk posting!

It's Friday so time to go pig out on a not so healthy dinner. I love Friday for just this
reason. Have a good weekend all.

First time in the gym at all this morning for about a month. Just did some abs and a spin class. I hope to be lifting tomorrow and this week, but it's tough to find time with a new baby in the house and a wife I have to do what I can to help stay sane.

Always good to blow off a little steam, Pete.

Two more workouts for me and I will take 5 days off to relax and heal the old bones.

Just a way of life for guys like us, Frank, hard to imagine not being able to go anymore.

I have been able to put on a good amount of muscle again the last couple months, just wish I could take a couple more inches off my waist. Maybe I will just eat fish on vacation this week.

Ain't that that truth Tom. Might be time to switch the diet up a bit?

I have actually cut portions back, Frank, cut out the majority of carbs...I think I have just hit that age where my metabolsim just ain't what it used to be.

Great day today. Finally achieved the 300 pound bench. Not very much room to spare, but it was all me. I would like to try 315 in about 4 weeks or so. Can I get a few recommendations for my next few chest workouts as far as weights and reps with this goal in mind? Today's workout was the following:

warmups: 135x10, 185x4, 225x4, 275x1
1RM attempts: 295x1,300x1
flat bench work: 245x8, 245x6, 205x8 (to failure)
Incline DB's: 75'sx12, 75'sx15, 75'sx10 (last 2 to failure)
Finished with a few supersets of cable flies (working lower pecs) and pec deck.

I've never really worked with a goal of increasing my 1RM, so this is a little new to me and why I'm asking some of the meatheads here.

Drop the booze if you are drinking any. A month sans alcohol will do wonders to the waist line.

Leg day. Squats, walking lunges, leg presses, and extensions/curls for me.

Frank, any thoughts on my questions regarding hitting the 315 bench soon?

That was me yesterday (excluding the presses). Trying to get back in the saddle. For squats: 135x5, 205x5, 245x3, 2 sets of 225x10 and finished with a bunch at 185. Walking lunges @ 80lbs... my legs and ass hurt. Hahaha
