The Slow Grind

Welcome back!

Enjoy the soreness post-layoff soreness

Thanks! Nice to be able to lift again.

The DOMS is brutal today, I got full blown potty flops. Stairs are my sworn enemy.

Good to see you are back!

Thanks a lot! I'm glad to be back.

Lmao @ potty flops... Sometimes when my knees are achy I have to cue "knees out" getting on and off.

Lol, yea getting of the toilet cues are a dark place. I mainly had to brace my hands on my knees and use hip drive to get up... Lol good lord.

Hey!

For those that remember that my wife was pregnant, well she delivered last Saturday. I now have a happy and healthy little girl.

Well, obviously that prevents one from lifting. No sleep and hospital food leads to weight loss, I weighed in at 323 this morning. This time I'll take it because it was caused by a happy event!

Ill probably get back to it next week and the wife suggested I go for both mental and physical reasons, gotta love the support. Take care all.

Congrats on the baby!

and the incidental weight loss.
