Happy New Year Zinzen

[zinzen]

And to you to sir, what you up to on new years sir?

[HCPinGviini]

Only 19 hours till New year.

Just wanted to say that you look rather big for somebody, who hasn't been training for a while. Quite impressive, one might say! And your pose in that first pic looks punishing, wouldn't want to mess up with you, eh?

But I'm glad to see that you're well and back to the gym soon enough. You're gonna kick those guys asses soon enough, mate!

New Years will be my usual snacking on my 92 yo Mom's couch and watching the ball drop on tv w/ Dick Clark!

Why thanks HC, I shall respond with that, hard sometimes for me to take a complement, but I am trying to change that.
Funny that its the new year there once again before here, not quite sure why I cant get over that

Ok so I have not been to the gym in over a week due to a sickness the likes of which I have never seen, but I have been going back to therapy.
The PT and me were suprised and frightened at how weak my left subscapularis is right now but the PA at the docs office seems to not be worried, so we are just pushing on trying like hell to strenghthen what muscle is left.
I will keep the VBBF world updated

AHH first day back to da gym since more then a week ago.
I did about 5 sets of hammer strength incling presses at 55 each arm and a whole lota jumping rope, my ass got pudgy since the surgery and sickness, horrible I say.
And some lat pulldowns.
About to switch gyms to the gym at Cleveland State University.
Its free now that I go to school there and fucking HUGE.

Hey zinzen,
I wanted to say I've been reading your journal and following your progress. I hope you'll be back in top form in no time!

[zinzen]

Why thank you, I hope it has been entertaining and informative for you Emily.

Its been 6 months now, and I am still struggling on some things.
I am getting back to pull ups ability. At 15 solid hanging fully then pulling up, no cheating here in recovery zone.
I can pretty much do everything except dumbell presses and flyes, and I am to scared still for the bench press, though it would probebly be fine.

Well still trying to work out, fuck it right.
