YES!!!!

I still likethe concept of push pull legs split training---3 days a week and the other 3 im on the treadmill

if you can come up circuits that somehow focus on those concepts id really appreciate it

Can take a crack at it.

My PT has me doing ankle mobility and foot muscle exercises........it's humbling to be so weak working these things.

doing ankle mobility and foot muscle exercises

this, plus hand wrist stuff is super good and necessary for long term functionality.

I`ll be "training" again next week................have n`t trained since the last week of May 2024........it`s gonna` be wussy.   :(


I went from a 69 year old man looking damn good, to looking like an Auswitch survivor today.

EDIT: My Oncologist told me not to go too heavy...........as if I possibly could.

Not training that long for you must have been Hell. You'll feel great getting back to the iron.

I`ll  be so sore it`ll be insane, but I will be glad to be back at it.

I was 192 pounds before surgery...........after surgery I was 129 pounds.   :(
