Awsome shit bro.

Glad to see your slowly coming back, not bad on the bench press, especially since your back is tweeked. How's the back feeling now?

Hope your feeling better.

ThanX brother!!! I appreciate the concern! Well I just did a back workout now, (which Ill post later) and one of the sets was 150lb dumbell rows for 20 reps. Which it seems like I may regret haha. Feeling a sharp pull in my right lower back muscle. And also some pain in what seems to be my right rotator cuff. Hopefully nothing that wont heal in a few days, and not anything as debilitating as before. Seems I am falling apart lately. haha But I will find a way to get back into it again!! Definately going to need some divine intervention.ThanX again!!
