Glad you are recovering well.

I can't believe the callousness of your employer expecting you to come to work after major surgery.

Ice cream? What the heck did I miss?

sorry I've been MIA guys...here's how things went...Friday...I got up, went to do grocery shopping, and got REALLY sleepy, came home, got about 5 minutes sleep, and work called and wanted me to come in early...the bonus was that I got to leave early, and they were nice enough to give me Saturday off...so I rested...then Saturday night I did something crazy and got 6 INCHES OF HAIR CUT OFF!!!! I'm kinda freaking right now...but I like it (OH...and I look like I'm about 16!! ) I'll try to post a pic later Today I planted my entire garden, PLUS cleaned house...I am pooped! I didn't even feel like I had a week off from anything...but I'm back to the gym tomorrow

u do declines....that's sweet. my gym doesn't have a decline bench press. I prefer BB dec. bench. I do use the DB's on the stand alone decline bench. just don't care for it as much.
I usually do my legs on Tuesday...<ahem> when I make it...<ahem>

So I'm not the only one who can't reach the bar on the decline bench. Glad to hear I'm not alone there.

I planted seeds this weekend...peas, basil, rosemary, tomatoes. First time trying to grow tomoatoes from seed so we will see. I also picked up broccoli seedlings that I have to transplant (first time attempting to grow broccoli) My downstairs neighbors are so going to love me this summer when I water everything

squats 95x6, 100x6, 105x5, x4
leg press 270x6, x6, 280x6...I WILL get 300 damnit!
leg ext. 90x6, x5 PR
SLDL 100x6, x6, x5, x4...grip failure on last 2 sets
leg curls 60x5, x4...lowered wt. 50x6

seated calves 70x6, x6, 75x6, 80x4...I will also hit 90 again!
standing calves 120x6, x6, 140x5

.75 miles treadmill, 13:45
not much time today...I almost overslept...I hit the button and laid there ready to fall back to sleep, and then 1 thought crossed my mind..."it's leg day" woohoo...up and out of bed!

had a funny today in the gym...this older lady came up to me and went like this...

HER..."why do you lift SO much weight?"
ME..."because I can"
HER..."that can't be good for you, it's so bad on your knees"
ME..."actually my arthritis has gotten better since I've been lifting heavy"
HER.."oh?? well, are you BUILDING?? why would you want to do that??"
ME..."because I can"

kinda pissed me off at first...but I shared with a couple of guys...and the more they laughed, the more it made me laugh...I wanna make sure she's there when I'm able to push 4 plates on both sides of the leg press (360lb) ....
