No parent should ever lose a child. I have 2 sons, and I can't even imagine.

I agree. Losing a child would be the hardest thing to endure. As parents, we don't expect to outlive our children.

Prime,

Now that rehab is done, do you have a plan for getting back to training?

[Primemuscle]

Considering the subject, I will not chuckle and correct your last sentence. I know what you mean.

Now that rehab is done, do you have a plan for getting back to training?

Thanks for catching my error. I used to be better about proof reading my posts here. Seems I have become a bit lazy. I fixed the post in question.

As for getting back to training; yes I do plan on doing this. I will start out slowly and hope to begin hitting the gym next week at least three times. I'd go this week but we have company here through Sunday. I know, there is always something. I'm no Steve, soldiering on regardless of what else is going on in my life.

You're too kind and too modest too.

Last night was a really good traps and back workout.

Traps

Barbell Shrugs 3 sets

Behind the Back Smith Machine Shrugs 3 Sets

Back

Medium Width Pulldowns 3 Sets

Dumbell Rows 3 Sets

Magnum Biangular Pulldowns 3 Sets. I really like this movement,
as it starts narrow grip, and works wider while going through the
range of movement. It is similar to performing a double bicep pose, but weighted.

As usual, I pyramided the sets, increasing in weight, and decreasing reps. I really focused on slightly arching my back, and squeezing at the bottom of each rep. This is the most effective way I have found to hit the lower lats as well.

Sounds like a solid plan. Give it 6-7 weeks and see how it works out for you. Normally, I would suggest putting one of your off days between Legs and Back days, since they are the biggest muscle groups? But, your regimen suggests you are prioritizing arms.

Yes...I am strictly about vanity at this point....I want to cruise around the pool at the over 55 retirement community.

Yeah, I get it. My wife says it is okay for me to look at other women as long as I don't touch them. This is a good thing, since I wouldn't know how to avoid looking.

Yes.... Solid plan....

Women of all ages appreciate attention as well.
