Setbacks will occur.
Progress is all that matters.

Continuing Star Protocol. I did not do air squats every day and it caught up with me today. But I did them today:
Air Squats: 10 x 5 I kept my left knee out.
Press: 45 x 5;65 x 5 They weren't required today but the movement helped to stretch the muscle in a different way
Bench: 45 x 5; 95 x 3; 135 x 1; 150 x 1; 132 x 5 x 3 Not much difficulty but I concentrated to use force from the floor so as to stretch the muscle.
Dead: 75 x 5 x 3 Look to lift heavier on Monday
Prowler: 10 x 6 x 3

Thanks, Richard and everyone else who has offered encouragement. The problem with working with old people is that we are breaking down a bit more often than young people. Still, we are confident that being strong is making that more tolerable and life a bit sweeter. Star protocol continues with less pain.
Air Squats: 10 x 5 I'm getting depth and am really concentrating on my left knee staying out.
Press: 45 x 5; 65 x 3; 85 x 1; 95 x 1; 100 x 1; 80 x 5 x 2
Dead: 85 x 5 x 3
Prowler: 20 x 6 x 3
The pain is lessening and has moved down an inch or so from the groin. Sully says that that is a good sign.

Less pain is good. Good luck with your rehab Carson.

Carson, you are my hero. But, I'm coming for you.
You have the heart of a lion.
I have a friend who is 79. I am talking to him about lifting weights.
You are an inspiration. My friend is a recent type 2 diabetic.
Do you suppose a sensible approach as recommended in "The Barbell Prescription" might make a difference?
That is a slam dunk. Look at you!
Do we need to be careful? sure.
Is this powerful medicine. ABSOLUTELY!
Tell Sully he's a genius.

That Sully is a genius, especially as he pulls back on the reins and gets you back to squatting faster than you would if left to your own devices, carson. Continue to mend well!
