Gym looks awesome, and that must be a great feeling with your son starting to go with you. I can't wait until my girls are old enough to start lifting with dad. So far they are only 9 and 6. The youngest is thick and strong!!! She can take my 9 year old with no problem, it is so funny since they started wrestling at home in the floor.

My business had it's annual christmas party this last weds. and I had a good friend smoke me 3 Boston butts, he won the overall 2nd place for brisket this year in the south in BBQ competitions, he is that good. I ate the last of it today, kind of sad to see the container empty!!LOL!!! I need to start grilling like you and perfect my grilling skills.

Hope your injury is getting better, keep the stubborness in check. My wife always jumps my case when I move up in weight, she hates when I pull or injure myself.

Thanks !

Christmas was really nice....lot of travelling involved to see most of my family but it was certainly worth the effort.

I hope your Christmas was great.

I'm really looking forward to the new year ahead. Starting off with no serious injuries or known roadblocks, a new gym that's real close and, as you noted, a new part-time workout buddy. My son is really enthused about it.

Fast paced & simply did what left elbow would allow. It's in the begining stages of flaring up...outer elbow. Listened to it during tonight's session. Backed off tricep specific moves.

I injured a groin muscle in June-July....and again......and again. The final time I chose to heed my doctor's orders....for the most part.

I'm hoping to resume legs next month.

Arthritis been killing me this week....resumed taking glucosamine & chondroitin supps again. I respond to it and will stay with it for the forseeable future.

[DubfromGA]

Easing back into things.

Had to avoid gym and everything else fun these past two weeks. Knee problems made it difficult to do my job. Very difficult. Work has to take priority in times like that. 13hr shifts and rest/elevate/ice knee. Meds. Fluid is still around it but the amount is much less.

Thank you.

It's hard sometimes....discerning real injuries from the normal stuff I deal with.....I'm learning, though.

Certain movements, such as BB Bench Press really create havoc with my shoulders. I've got to make some adjustments. The key for me is not damaging things in the process of moving forward.

Don't say fourth down and punt. Reminds me there will be no real games until August (unless I count the spring game, which if I pretend really hard and shut one eye I can make it about 10% of a game. )

Sorry you're having some physical issues to deal with, but your workouts are looking great!

[DubfromGA]

Why thank you, my Gamecock friend.

I hope all is going well in your world.

Y'all sure put a thrashing on my adopted Bulldogs this year. Looked like you had 'em in a trance. I don't think I've ever seen Williams-Bryce rocking that hard, too.

That was a surprise to us too -- and yes the crowd certainly was into it. We were there too! Y'all did very well for most of the season. I thought you seemed a better than us, but you know how that game goes. It seems to be a nailbiter most of the time.

Hope all is well with you too!

[DubfromGA]

Dangitman! It's been forever, it seems, since I lifted.

Feel like it's safe to resume.

Good to see you back at it Dub's

[danap3681]

Don't make me come after you on them lat pull downs Dubs!!! Lol.

Glad to see you back at it. MUAH!! Fix me some coffee dammit!

[DubfromGA]

Good to see you back at it Dub's

Thanks, man.

Steady and cautious is how I'm planning on proceeding. I can not afford time out of life right now for shoulder repairs. You will laugh at the weight I'm going to be using on chest days. Simply going to crank up the reps.

Fluid in knee is back to it's normal amount. Cardio resuming okay, too. That damned elliptical machine is my nemesis.

Lol. You'd be laughing yer superfine butt off at me right now....been hobbling around like Fred Sandford from Sandford and Son. Hell, I think I'll rename my right knee Lamont......left knee Ester. While I'm at it, I'm naming my right shoulder Sumanabitch !!!!! Enough of my whining. I gotta kick a wheel and get moving. The day is still young.


I'm glad you mentioned coffee. I made a pot before getting ready for work today. I'm getting low. I need to swing by Dunkin and get a couple bags. I wanta be well caffinated and wide awake for when that VS order arrives and the pics are posted for the DSC to review.


Have a great weekend !!!!

I felt tortured as a child having to watch Sanford & Son but it reminds me of my Daddy. .

I think of you every morning when I drink my DD!

And when the swimsuits arrive you know you will get a PM

Word UP !!!!!!!


I shall remain ready. I'll beat the UPS man to a pulp if he looses that shipment.



Keep ginding those beans proper-like and think of me thinking of you while grinding mine.

G'day Dub. Subbed! Good to see you are back training.
