Thank you, dear brother!  What bhanky and a few others here fail to take into consideration is that at our core, most of us understand one another.  We are only human, with all that entails.  His ego and what other mental problems he obviously has keeps him from being one of us, which is to say first and foremost, Men.

I recall a site someone linked here about how every man should be strong and while not every one can be world class in strength and build, it is better to strive for strength and health than to give in to ego and settle for excuses.   

The friends I have made here are good men and women.  It is as my mother taught me, "No man dies alone who has the memories of a lifetime with him".  You guys are in my memory along with so many others from the "real world".  When I breathe my last (and hopefully don't come back again), I will do my best to keep my family and friends within my soul on that final journey. 

It must be that bhanky doesn't want to understand.

For the day.


Wow!

I have two such watches, one of which is nicer looking and the other is better at counting what my family calls my number of "gimps" in a day.  I used to wear both but mostly now wear the one my older brother gave me for last Christmas.  It's the better "gimp counter".   ;D

You do walk a LOT, my friend!  Wow!

I actually thing that's counting steps from his training, not walking, but I could be wrong.

I just used a tracker for my basement workout for the first time and it gave me like 3,000 steps for it.

Its great reading your getting more active & stronger day by day
You're a good person & you're positive outlook is such a huge help in your recovery

Enough of your last breath business- you've got plenty of gas in your tank left. 👍🏻👊🏻

As for Bianca- a lost cause its jealously / ignorance/ spitefulness & utter stupidity cannot
Be changed - so many offered sound advice just for it to be thrown back in their face.

There's clearly many issues going on in that Elephant head - Needs a lot of psychiatric help.
I kind of pity those around him.

Are these the same as push downs?  Or am I missing something?  Serious question.

Great work gents, I’m living vicariously through all of your workouts as I believe I am 7-8 days so far of no lifting.
