Chest & tris this morning.
Brute Force Operator Series Alpha 10 now!!!
Ok...today was my last appointment with the orthopedic doctor. He said all is good. He said to keep progressing slowly, but I don’t have any limitations. Just to be “smart”...my BIGGEST challenge.
So...here’s progress pics. One is 4 weeks post surgery, the other is just a couple days ago. So, I’m getting there. Hard work and ice cream every day!!!
I'm not surprised you're progressing well. The gun; looking good.
Now I can't comment solely about you and not ask about the princess. Hug her for me.

Cryotherapy is helping immensely. For giggles, I had pictures and a video taken of me in it. Enjoy my varied faces in -110 degrees Celsius. 3 minutes is not a lot of time except when you're freezing your hind quarters off (lol). Yeah yeah I know I get bored easily and find myself in these crazy situations (Do you remember naked yoga beeps and gam3rguy?). I wouldn't have it any other way.
i remember...for the record, i'd totally do naked cryo. NO to the yoga...LOL! 1 -

I had on dead lift slippers and needless to say, the pain stopped me in my tracks. Plenty of ice to numb the obvious throb. The blocks were fairly new and did not have enough wear on them that would allow the weight to sit on it properly. Can you say OUCH?
Ouch!0 -
Life continues to be busy. I have traveled far too much and as a result have not worked out. I did have a couple of hiking holidays in there where we hiked daily, which was good. I didn't renew my gym membership in the fall because I knew I would be away so much. I was supposed to be away this past week as well for work, but I canceled that trip. It was just too much. Will head back to the gym in the New Year. I did go for a run on the weekend and it went quite well! I was surprised at how good I felt.
Our son that had the brain tumor and surgery suffered another seizure. Exactly 6 months to the day of his first one. Scans showed all was clear - thank goodness! They suspect it was from dehydration, but will do more test to rule out anything else. I cannot tell you what a loop that news threw me for. It was a good wake up call for all of us - just because the surgery was successful, there will always be lasting side effects which everyone has to be cognizant of. Thankfully, his brain is healing well post surgery.
@Beeps2011 - I know exactly how you feel. I've been away from the gym for months and I am scared to go back as well. But I need the strength training so am committing to go back again. I am way past 40....and know I need to maintain good bone health.
To all the regular rock stars on here - keep on keepin' on! Hats off to you all.

Happy Friday kids, I didn't max out today and decided to hot barre was in order followed by Cryotherapy. Have a great weekend ahead kids1

Got in my leg day yesterday as scheduled, still feeling it in my hamstrings today. Yay, doms!
Today wasn't sure if I'd make it to the gym 3 days in a row or not, but got my pull day for back/biceps.
Am thinking I may need to adjust my plan of attack. Been working under the hope/assumption I'd get in 4 workouts every 10 days (my current work rotation), giving one day each for push-pull-legs-deadlift. However, until this week I've only been able to get in three workouts per rotation, so been leaving out deadlifts. Maybe I should just give up the idea and incorporate them into one of the other workouts (more likely pull than legs), and if I do get in four workouts in a single rotation I just move on with the next workout in sequence between the remaining three. Wasn't that long ago when I woke up rearing to go to the gym; now sleep is a wonderful, beautiful experience I'm loath to interrupt! lol1 -
Yesterday was Chest & Shoulders at the gym.

Brute Force Operator Series Alpha 17! 60#+12#vest! Maybe didn’t plan this so well. I did an epic chest (that it looks like I forgot to post) and tris routine yesterday. Those floor presses got heavy fast.
For the 800 meters...it’s about 200-ish to that bend in my street (from my porch). Well, it’s cold out, and it’s too damned early for all that turning around. So...loops. Got to hit the Pokéstop right around the corner too. No time to eff with Team Rocket though.1 -
Hey kids, hope all is well. Had an xray done on my shoulder and there's nothing wrong with it. I will keep warming it up well, as well as ice/cryotherapy. I don't have time for these minor annoyances. Hot Yoga followed by varied deadlifts.
My daughter said I do today to her best friend. I wish them years and years of bliss.
My workout routine for the week is insane since I have PTO to burn before I lose it.
Well The HU has become a new favorite band of mine. They have a new song called Wolf Totem and this video has be so amped up. Here's the link if you are a rocker and love motorcycles.
