    You know what's best for you. No sense risking an injury at this stage of the game. It sure takes us longer to recover. You got some work done, that's what matters.

    Hi Jerry. Now, Monday, everything fine. Yes, I was right to pull my horns in.
    I have read of oldies dropping from 2-a-week to a Mon, Fri, Wed schedule. Hope i don't have to go to that in the next ten years. I suppose volume and number of exercises could be adjusted down. For the moment I am slowly recovering strength and flexibility after the catastropic event last year.

    Oh my goodness! Talk about being blown away!
    Thank you so much. Nothing worthy of note happening here, just trying to rebuild to where i was a year ago. If my process of planning the workout weights and reps ahead of time continues to succeed some of the time, i will very gradually get back to respectable.
