Like the others, I look forward to seeing your updates for years to come, even if I don't understand half of what you are doing. But my understanding doesn't matter, it's the realization that you are continuing to move and stay strong.

Thank you Bill. Yes, my current experiment must look weird. I am doing one heavy day a week, alternating 2 whole body routines. The other day is pretty light, pumping and stretching. Hoping the big rest between heavy days will yield (some) strength gains.
