Legs look better than ever there... and to maintain that leg size at your age naturally is becoming more and more impressive.

Yes, they say they're the first to go.

I wonder why that is. Nerve damage or what do you guys think? Maybe Flex has found the way to avoid it.

I agree that maintaining leg size as one ages is impressive. I find it very difficult to do. Steve is exceptional.

Yes, tennis ball is good. I've used that method before.

Here is another thing. Once you start using one of these, you will never want to do without. They fix problems and keep them from coming back.

How long does this 'pump' last? I would think you'd have to re-pump every so often to maintain that look.

Bands are great for that. They're little-respected yet very useful.

Isn't coming back after even a short break great? I know I find it inspiring. Careful though, it is easy to overdo it because you're so excited to be back at the weights. Of course the band and push-up exercises probably kept you 'tuned' up.

Your tan looks good even if it isn't as dark in the photo as it really is. My tan is all 'fake & bake' so far. I need to hit the beach (on the river) a few times to really get it going. You're gloss looks stage ready as does your physique.

I started back working out at the gym last Wednesday. Even though I kept up with upper and lower body movements, mostly weight free while taking my break, I am a little bit sore. I think I will take tonight off and work my quads tomorrow at the gym.

I tried a fast tan on my shin and ankle Sunday morning. I spilled hot bacon grease on it. Not fond of the resulting color which is somewhat purple except where the big blisters are. Doctor says I'll live. -Not going to be doing any leg extensions for awhile though. Oddly, there is no pain today.

Yup....ouch! The pain is back. My nerves must have been in shock. Today the burn hurts like hell. Believe it or not, that's a good sign. Some folks never recover sensation in a burn area.

The ocean is a great healer. Maybe I should take a trip to Seaside.

I actually was able to work quads last night, including leg extensions, which I did on a machine that has a bunch of adjustments, allowing me to avoid contact with the burn.
