Gym update

[drscott]

My shoulder joint is about 75% recovered. The joint capsule was damaged by an extra-stupid heavy lift sometime in March, and I've been on light weights and more reps for certain lifts (military press, incline bench, dumbbell lateral raise and front raise) ever since. Nothing was improving for months, and I was starting to get discouraged, but finally in August it started to get better, and I am almost back to my usual weights without suffering unduly afterward. And I'm feeling better -- I even ran some yesterday, with a bit of that "harder, faster" feeling I've been missing.

Caterer Mike is back. I ran into him first on Friday, and then again yesterday; excessor mentions him in this post. He's been too busy to get to the gym, and he took the treadmill next to me yesterday so we could chat. He nearly fell off once and had to quit jogging after about ten minutes. Would it be wrong to flirt with him to encourage him to come more often? It's for his health.

You can lift lighter weight (say, excessor while you recover fully. Lots of reps, of course.

Flirting with you is a healthy thing:) You're really thoughtful that way... allowing it to happen for the good of another man. Hugs!

Yes, that's me -- thoughtful. As excessor would say, "I'm a giver!"

Speaking of which, Thank You.

Totally unexpected from someone who barely knows me.
And nothing was marked "1" because I don't need anything.

His health would improve. Yours, however, would be less certain.

uhhh... it wasn't me; some other Dr. Scott? Not that I mind taking credit if it was a good thing I'm supposed to have done. Though now I feel bad that I didn't!

Oops. "Scott" sent me something from my Amazon wish list for my birthday. And now I've figured out who that Scott is. (Still someone who barely knows me.) No harm no foul -- don't feel bad.
