1st workout with weights since surgery.
I feel great. I did legs today. The first steel w/o since surgery to put my hand back together. I warmed up on the bike and then did five sets of leg press. A bit awkward unracking both sides with the left hand. I did 135 for 20, then 225 for 20, 315 for 12 and then 405 for 10.. I had no intention of going above 225 though once I sat in the sled and felt the steel, had to go for it. Last set had aimed for 8 though at 8 was starting to rack and pushed out 2 more., Went on to three sets of lying leg curls, again graceful getting in position with one arm. Last, did 3 sets of 20 leg press calf raises then 5 min on the bike/
It felt soooooooooooooooo good to hit it. Pumped all over. No set back with the hand. I was able to isolate my right arm very well. I hope to not be too sre. I am anxios to get back full steam. I am almost half way done with the 6 weeks out of working out while my hand heals. Take care to all and thanks for reading. May you have a Blessed new year.

Almost 3 weeks without an update, hope you’re using your posting time to raise the steel and not the donuts

I have been doing legs once per week and cardio 1-2 times per week. Hoping to get back to full speed soon.
