Great to see you back in the arms of your true love and that Mrs Hepburn has welcomed you back! I like push/pull style training. Nice work and it appears a new dead PR is imminent!

Great to be back, but mrs Hepburn was not as easily forgiven as I made her out to be.....I had to give an "Exclusive Commitment" to her atleast until I win my first power lifting meet....at which point she thinks she will have me forever......

Thanks Lee, I just did connect with the lower weight, higher volume workout. Wired a little different I guess. Glad to be back where I belong though!!

good warm up session moe,what is a bench shrug? i pm you back not sure if you received it.

40 lb DB's are the heaviest they have? Wow - just when I thought I've heard everything about the lack of equipment some gyms have.

Bummed to hear about your hip pain. Will you or have you sought medical attention or physiotherapy for it?

I work at a prison, and I use the prison gym, very old equipment, but right now, all I have access to. 2 olympic bars with way too many miles on them, one is bent about 2 inches in the middle. There were no dumbells, only barbells and plates, but 1 guy brought some DB's in from his home, 20, 25, 30, and 40, oh yeah, there is ONE 50 lb and ONE 55 lb.....

The hip pain is arthritis, right hip joint and lower back. the lower back hurts most of the time, but is manageable. USUALLY the hip pain is also, meaning I can still squat pretty decent, and it hurts later, but last night....just hurt too much while actually doing them.
