I had a personal best this morning
As some of you know, I just turned fifty one. Also, in May of 2002 my left humerus was shattered in a M/C wreck.
What you may not know is I weighed in this AM at 180 lbs.
And..... drum roll please.... I benched 240 lbs twice.
That's a first for me. Even when I was a young studly whippersnapper, I never benched 240.
I just thought I'd share my little bit of good news.
Now... bring on TWO SIXTY... Yeah BaBy...Long Live The Long Bikes

Great going man! Way to stick with it in the face of adersity!
I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...

Thanks for all the positive replies.
When I started rehab on that arm, my physical therapist had me benching a broom stick. Believe it or not, I could barely get that sucker up with my left arm. So, I was pretty tickled yesterday with that 240 milestone.
Thanks again guys.Long Live The Long Bikes
