    He's taking a break and was healing up the last time I spoke with him. Think he was being evaluated for RC tepair, but it takes a while with NHS?

    Oh, that sucks... Glad to hear he's getting things squared away though. Getting old sucks.

    Checking in. Nice to see LGI, Proximal others posting.

    Busy 2 weeks. Down 1 pound through the holiday season

    I’m pressing forward with planned loss of 12 pounds over next 2 months with no training. There will challenges and if I fall short of goal, I’m not stressing. It’s ONLY a number. I could loose more than 12 which may be too much - depending on where body takes first - evaluate in 5 weeks.

    For fun, March 15th to transition into maintenance and training.

    I’m anxious to start rebuilding.

    Alright GGR, losing weight during the holidays!

    Getting a trigger point injected now @ a very large health care facility. Just seeing SO many different problems in the 10 minutes it took to get to my MD, is just a solemn reminder on how fragile we are, yikes.


    So very true. Realize it more as you get older.

    Got my first leg (quad) workout in today after probably two months and post knee gel injections. I didn't know what to expect.

    Stationary bike - 5 minutes
    Vertical Press - stayed light: 1 plate per side, 2 plates per side, 3 plates per side. 15 ish reps
    Squats - couple sets at 135 and then 225 x 3 sets just to get a feel for things.

    I kept waiting for pain but it didn't come. Quite happy about this so far!

    Kel, how the f*** can you edit my post dude? I didn’t write the last two sentences. Damn, I mean like you ARE Kel and all, but this is a little frightening. Sorry about that bank comment in that other thread, but I was kidding. Shit, do you have super powers?

    Edit & clarification: I was NOT upset, I was “attempting humor”. Forgot Kel is a moderator. Completely agree with his words (last two sentences), but was confused that they were an edit & not another post.

    I’m encouraged! This plan I am following - clean BB eating at restricted cal is amazing!

    Sad to see muscle loss and I let that happen and I know how to get it back!

    So I don’t cause more confusion and get any more PMs. I was NOT upset & was making a joke. Kel, did I write something else that I blanked on & you erased? I forgot that you are a moderator.

    OMG, I’m so confused.

    Little veins? Leaves not moving? This was not one of the possible side effects from the cortisone injection.

    TY big guy. I was thinking “what, was I delirious”.

    Glad you liked the post. Yeah, very sad/tough seeing everyone going for their appointments.

    So happy you are back on your way. Forget pain, forget age, forget injury. There is always a way.

    105 - 141 normal BMI for my height and 12 down by March 15th is reasonable to start rebuild. BMI charts are a laugh...kel you would probably be overweight or obese.

    Should check bf% for skinny fat chicas. Lol

    All of that stuff is geared towards small framed people. I'm my ideal weight if I was 6'9"....but I'm not. Too much bf...yes. 6'9"....nope, barely 6'1" or 6'2" if I've been stretching and it's early in the day.

    Off to follow the Kel stretching routine and then a short run/walk session before work. It's kind of chilly today. Stepped outside in a tank top and shorts to see what the wildlife is up to and now my nipples could cut glass.

    It's Friday, everyone have a nice day!!

    Morning all.

    GGR, I'm confused (yes again) about the 20% bf thing. Where are you getting this amount from?

    Hell yes, Friday!

    Shoulders n Tri's yesterday. Still staying real light trying to feel my way back and slowly implement more exercises:

    Dumbell presses: Pyramid up to just 60's. 3-4 x 15 ish reps quick pace. No pain felt good.
    Seated side laterals: Even trying these scared me. Think I used only 15-20 lbs for 3 sets of 15-20. Trying to keep hands at about a 45 degree angle between flat (where they'd normally be) and thumbs up, if that makes sense to anyone to put less pressure on the infraspinatus. Per doc and PT.
    Rear delts on 35 bench: 3 sets light

    Tri's:

    Pushdowns: 3-4 sets 10-12 reps. Strength coming back
    Overhead smith extensions: 3 x 12-15 reps
    Cable dips: 3 sets 10-12 reps

    Can't complain. No residual shoulder pain today so onward and upward.

    Back workout later today.
