Congrats on getting the home gym! That will be great that you can workout at home. It sounds like a quite a set up! I know you said your wife will be working out as well, I think that is great! You can be each other's support system. Maybe she would like to join Shapefit too....IronWoman!! (she has to be made of iron to take care of 3 young boys!!!) I only have one and it exhausts me at times!
Good luck with all of it....be careful, your old bones don't bounce back like they used too.. :wink: :lol: :lol: (joking!)(I can say that, cause I'm older than you!!)

Thanks for the congrats. I will be easing into very slow, even though I am active, I know lifting could throw me for a loop if I over do. She doesn't want anything to do with the computer, it drives her crazy, but I do keep her updated, and she looks on occasionally, but its quite rare. Anywho, she just had a cortizone shot in her shoulder, as its been bugging her for awhile now. The doc told her not to lift for two weeks, so she needs to wait, and we will have to see what she can do after that. She told me today she didnt want to wait, but she going to have to. She has lots of natural muscle, actually her whole family have more than their fair share of muscle cells, and they are very strong. She is just afraid she will end up a hulk. We are both looking forward to doing it together.......... :)

Thanks Nokie! Just back from camping. Lots of swimming, skiing, and tried out the wakeboard I just picked up slightly used (I'm cheap.... :wink: ) So lots of bodywork in the form of getting yanked up on board by the boat, a few good face plants from catching an edge...... :shock:

Anyhow, had a blast, hope everyone is doing well, and still at it. Hey Troy, nice to see you posting workout/diet on here. Look forward to following your progress.

Sat.

5 min. warm-up

Deads--3x12x105
Push-ups--3x12xBW
Upright Row--3x12x45
Squats--3x12x45
Wide grip pulldown--3x12x55
Seated close grip row--12x60, 12x70, 12x90

Still trying to see where I am strength wise, and will start increasing weight a little each time. Squats were easy today, as well as wide grip pulldowns. Going to keep with these until I feel comfortable starting the Chad W. program I liked. Also, want body to adjust to lifting again, and make certain form is precise before pushing too hard. Feels great to lift again.

Welcome back! Glad to see you & your family had a great vacation.

Sounds like you are right back on it with your workout program :D

Yes, it has been great reading Swanso's workout program. It has sparked quite a few interesting conversations about the different exercises and the combinations he does. :D Unbelievable :shock: I have been a regular on YouTube lately, looking up the various exercises!

Hope you got some rest and are recharged, ready to get back to "the grind"!
Have a great week! :D

I've never tried the wakeboard. Is it like a kneeboard? Hope your wife's face is okay! :(
I have only successfully water skied once in life, staying up for a good solid 30 seconds!! :D
Your work week sounds exhausting! :shock: Maybe you can fit in a workout or a run on your lunch hour? How do you work your diet around that? Do you have to bring your meals?
