You're still doing great Jerry! There are so many folks our age nowhere close to us in this activity. The heart clinic I go to usually says that none of our other patients comes close to your condition. So we must be doing something right.

Thanks Fred. This week I went to my cardiologist for my birthday annual check up. I use him as my primary as I'm not a fan oft Dr's. They did ekg,carotid artery tests and blood work. They said everything is fine. I do take 2 BP meds ,BP was 124/68 HR 62. I can't do want I used to in many ways, but can still do want needs to get dine.
I wish all us "elders" a Happy Labor Day, you earned it.

[Fred J]

That's great news from the doc!

Happy Birthday for whenever it is or was!

You have a great Labor Day also.

Decided to use the SSB since it's easier to get in the rack than the 85lb Camber bar. The bar is big and clumsy to get back in place.
Did the SSB without the box, I'll see if I can make some progress with it.

I was going to DL today but I seemed to get a muscle pull in my right hamstring after doing the sqts on Wednesday. I thought it was a case of soreness but I know I can barely bend down
Did the DB bench and pulldowns. I will try and do some high rep SLDL on Monday

For some reason the background on SS forums has changed to black it's only on this website.

[Mr. Bingley]

oh no, hope the hammy heals

Thats a backlash, maybe you should use the Starr rehab, to avoid as much scartissue as possible?

[BrooklynJerry]

Thanks Mr.B and bergstrm.
It fell better today, hopefully it was just a strain.Today I did my usual warm up, a few minutes on the rower and 15 reps on the Rev Hyper. Then I did 3 sets of 15 reps using 80lbs on a 2" thick bar.
