Work and home life have been impacting my workouts greatly. I managed to get in to do a light upper body workout last Monday, and then had a day with a wife in the hospital and travelling for work. This week I will be travelling, but there is a half-decent gym in the hotel to get an upper body workout, plus a pool for some cardio.
Today I did high rep upper body work, dumbbells, curl bars, machines, smith overhead presses. Went well, no discomfort. I have about two more weeks before I can start working my legs out again.
I'm a 53 year old guy who likes picking heavy things up, and putting them down. I'll blog about my progress here.

Another setback
Wed, 6 Sept 17
So, last week I had a great workout. Since it took so little time I decided to play with a new toy in the gym, a sled. The Torque Fitness TANK. It was a pretty interesting little machine, but seemed too easy. So, I cranked it to max resistance with about 8 plates on it. Things went well for a bit, really hard a good cardio feel to it, then both of my calves popped.
Bilateral gastroc strains lol. I had to be taken out by stretcher, couldn't weight bear. I'm off legs for another 6-8 weeks. yay.
