Next training session (Saturday) will be:

1. Barbell Curls
2. Behind the Back Wrist Curls

Severe soreness today!!! I trained 12 hours ago, but the soreness is really bad!!!

The good thing is that I have had a couple of meals and I am preparing one as I type.

It sounds like that one big sigh that an alcoholic lets go when they take that first big gulp of beer after falling off the wagon. Ahhhhh......

Physically, what all did you do during your layoff? (aside from clawing at the walls and grinding your teeth)

Walking and eating.

Do you do active recovery? That sounds like max soreness to me. or do you do the extreme stretching and does that help enough?


Also I think I`ve seen a picture of you in the buffet I go to, Actually I`ve seen your picture in a couple of buffets. It says "Wanted" "If you see this person, DO NOT Serve him" Call security.

I think you`re driving them out of business.
