OK, it seems fitting that my first real post since May be about myself, so here goes… I met with a guy today that has been in three natural bodybuilding competitions and is also a certified fitness trainer (like Fuad) and dietitian. Why? I’d like to put on 10 – 20 pounds of muscle, specifically to [...] I started to call this entry “Six weeks” because last Friday completed my sixth week of working out again (don’t worry, the novelty has worn off so I’ll stop counting now). But let’s just call a spade a spade. These are vanity shots I took yesterday. The photo taking actually started out with me wanting [...] So far, so good. Yesterday, after finishing with the one biceps exercise I can do at this time, I went upstairs to join Chuck F. for the one triceps exercise I can do at this time. “I did two sets of hammer curls with 30-pound dumbbells,” I told him. “No discomfort at all.” He thought for a [...] I’ve been back at the gym for three weeks now.

My elbows are healing, but so slowly that I may be looking at another six months before I have normal use of them again. So, my new target – October. Twelve [...] Today I want to talk about my elbows. How’s that for a subject change? So far this week I have posted cell phone complaints, cute kitten pics, denial rants and now a bit about my elbows. It’s Attention Deficit Disorder in a blog! Where else on the internet can you get so much variety in [...] It’s been about three months since I’ve done anything at the gym besides legs. I saw both my orthopod and had active release therapy* (ART) yesterday. It was my sixth treatment. My release therapist asked me if I was working out. “No,” I responded. “I’m just doing my PT, nothing else.” “How are your arms feeling?” “I bit better [...] “Okay, squeeze this,” my physical therapist said. He was sitting directly in front of me and placed a grip-o-meter into my right hand. “This will give us an idea of how damaged the tendon is and how far you have to go.” We were in the large, brightly painted physical therapy center on Nob Hill.
