Here's to the "warm-up session", Leo. :xxx :r

The deadlifts sound killer.:tu

Appreciate the offer too (and may take you up on it another time), back is much better this morning. This is semi-typical for me, little back tweaks that usually go away with just routine stretching in 2-3 days tops.

International Chest Friday here, I'll wait until tomorrow to tackle legs again.

So I haven’t done crap in a few weeks. That pressure in my chest wouldn’t go away. I saw my doc last week and he thinks it’s something gastrointestinal. Advised me to try Pepcid. Been on it a few days now. Big difference. It’s still there, but going away. I have a couple tests this week to hopefully find out what it is. But I’m hoping to at least get back to walking again soon.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 

I hope that maybe the Pepcid will solve your problem. I have to do a stretch of similar OTC medicine maybe every 18 months when the issues become both more frequent and more severe. 4-6 weeks on the meds and I usually don't have any issues for at least a year and a half. I know yours could be different, Bob, but I'm hoping for an easy fix for you.

Talked to my trainer today. He’s just waiting on some plates, and his garage gym will be open. :wo

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 

Hope the plates come soon, Bob.

Off day for me. Looks like rather than joining LA Fitness to augment my options, I am going to use one of my old club's other locations until my membership ends, then explore other options. Makes sense financially.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 

Checked out another location of my old gym after the workout at my interim place. About 2-3 miles further from the house. They should honor my membership at least through February, otherwise I'll act like I work for the post office. ;)

Definitely a nice workout, Leo. What does AHAP mean?
