Just finished my upper body session and caught a great moment in the locker room. While I was tying my shoes, a couple of young guys walked in, hopped in front of the mirror, and started posing.

It was honestly awesome to watch. Before anyone gets weird..no, I wasn’t ogling. I was just struck by the vibe. They were hyping each other up, pointing out specific muscle definition and progress they noticed in one another.

We need more of that. Men building up other men is so important, and seeing that kind of genuine, supportive energy in the gym was the highlight of my day.

Currently out of the gym with a soft tissue shoulder injury. Many years ago I messed up both of my shoulders from flat benching with improper form. I was able to rehab my shoulders and built them up to an impressive appearance for my size. Recently I re-injured my left side and let it heal and after a few weeks, using an altered grip on pressing movements, I re-injured the right one. At 54 years old I’m listening to my body and taking time off from the gym to heal. It’s monumentally frustrating because of my recent progress, up 10 pounds and noticeably building muscle, however, longevity is more important to me. I’m hoping to be back in a few weeks.
