Thanks, guys. Means a lot!

Most of you know my attitude about keeping this journal. When I am struggling to get through an injury/health problem, I tend to back off of journaling because I don't like to sit and dwell on the issue too much.

Right now I am 6 weeks out from the Southern States Classic, and effectively lost a month of training due to the retina tear, surgery, and recovery. While I look decent right now, I am pretty sure it would be pretty much a bust to try and get ready for a show. Especially with this last setback.

So I will start thinking about the Northwest Arkansas' in June, and see if my health cooperates with me.

I got through the heart issue, the back issue, and now I will focus on getting through this eye issue. Competing is just a side benefit to my training. So I am not going to sweat it too much.

So far, being 50+ has not cooperated with me! lulz

Do both. Just use the SSC as posing practice and possibly water/diet show day tweaks opportunity.

Props and support big guy.

Steve,

Hope you're recovering well. I stumbled across this article today and thought that you might like it: http://imbodybuilding.com/articles/building-body/

Sorry about the setback. The good news is that you're never that far off stage conditioning, so when it comes time to putting the hammer you don't have that far to go.

Prayers ascending brother, as always.

Any new developments? How is the recovery going?

How is the recovery going?

Thanks, my friends!

Just a little update: The recovery process has gone fine. My workouts are still going very well, and nutritionally I have stayed on track. But I haven't been posting much lately due to going through some personal crap that will no doubt be getting worse in the near future. That has put a hold on any summer contest run, and will probably put anything I may have planned for this coming fall on hold as well.

The workouts will continue, but I will probably keep my posting to a minimum until I get things straightened out in real life.

As always...Thanks for all the support!

I hope everything works out Steve... sorry to hear about the 'real life' problems. Thanks for posting I was getting worried about ya

[Plateauplower]

Sorry to hear that. Good luck and keep the training up for the mental benifits. Hope to see you back when everything is resolved. Miss the dialog ITT.

[BergMuscle]

Sorry to hear that. Hope that having your training is helping you deal/cope/whatever with the other challenges in your life.
Stay strong, my friend (in all senses of that word).

[ljimd]

Hang tuff Steve. Ain't the same 'round here without ya.

[mirroroferised]

Good to see a post man. Take care of yourself.

[MooseTequila]

Sorry to hear about the life issues... stay strong for yourself!

[trickyB]

Sorry to hear about the personal issues but glad to hear your training and nutrition is on point.

This too shall pass.

[bamazav]

Praying for you brother. Email if you need to talk, I will send number.

[securekey]

Any updates Steve?? How is life? Training? etc.

I hope all is well.

I haven't posted in here in a while, but I am going to ask for this journal to be locked. Keep hitting it hard, my friends.
