Went to the gym last night for the first time in 10 months. The neck is still not 100% but I figured that I've waited long enough and it was time to start working out again, for my health as well as my sanity.  NOT happy to report that I started out with 145 lbs for the bench for 10 reps, second set, could only get up 9 reps and third set, ran out of gas on the 7th rep!  Maybe I can re- qualify for a beginner armwrestling class. ;D They didn't have the class when I started armwrestling 30+ years ago, so techniquely I've never been in that class before! Worked out for 90 mins and boy am I hurting this morning. Going to take my own advice for muscle pain! |

Mark, at least before he regains his old self? Steve, don't push yourself too much. You know you will be back to where you were before. Just don't risk another injury that could you put you down longer. Good luck and great to hear you're back in the saddle. |

Thanks for the kind words...but I know it will be a long time before I'm ready to enter a tournament. Mark.. Bob Shaffer will be at my house next week for practice Tuesday Aug 30, 7:00pm and I think Jake Abbott might make it as well. Come on over and I'll let you work them over as I know I couldn't do much right now. |

Steve I would Love to do that. There is no way I can make that happen. Thanks for the invite, wish it was on a Sat. or Sunday. What is Bob doing up in your neck of the woods? Give him my best...I am driving to Salem on Sunday to practice with Sammy and Herman, and the rest of the guys from over there. Allen, Steve knows that is why I am poking fun at him at this time. |

Mark,
Bob works for a car dealership and travels all over to attend dealer car actions. They have a good sized action up this way every so often, so he drops in, buys a boat load of cars, and ships them to CA.
