Took yesterday off just because I felt like I needed a little rest. Midnight came around and I wanted to go, but Staci wouldn't let me...

Either back or legs today. A good friend is coming up today so I'll let him pick. I hope he says back though.

315 bent over rows is nothing short of weak, sir dbag.

[icehog3]

I got a weak back, Huy. How long I had that? About a week back.

Train Saturday & Sunday, then Tuesday & Wednesday, then I get one of my coveted 4 day Herf breaks from lifting. I think I need this onbe a lot more than the last one in mid-August.

Also going to go back on some prohormone for a cycle after the herf, been off for a couple months now so I should be good to go.

[Adriftpanda]

Yeah, I think I will go everyday till next Sunday. I'll do chin ups on your biceps next Thursday.

Been a long time sinse I posted in this thread. Well after having knee surgery two plus years ago and having shoulder surgery almost a year ago, I finally started going back to the gym. Know that I can lift more than a 1 or 2 pound dumbbell, lol.

Realized that my workout routine from my 20's and 30's probably not the best at age 51. Met with a personal trainer this morning to do an assessment. Very interesting process and went very well. She is going to design a better plan for me and also work on form and correct some of my enbalances to help streghthen my core and posture. Very excited to be back and work with a trainer that understands the body.

She comes highly recommended and we have talked a lot over the past 2 years.

Good to be back :-)
