These have been great posts the last several weeks Mark. Really enjoying reading the positives coming out of your training so quickly after major surgery. Your experience is a great testament to the power of a life time of strength practice. I am 36 years old and your insights and experience demonstrate a way forward that is very positive and inspiring.
thanks man. the blog readership is so low I didn't think anyone cared :)
your comment makes a world of difference let me tell you.
Continuing to kick ass! It pays to be a winner!
Mark-
You're looking fantastic! 6 weeks already? That went fast, for us readers, I'm sure not as fast for you!
Way to represent us "50+'s"!
PS/I wouldn't worry about the "count" of blog readership-people stumble over blogs all the time, if someone out there is meant to find yours and it touches their life, then it's all good!
I love reading your workouts....short, sweet, heavy and pretty much to the point. If I lived closer, I'd have a really hard time deciding which one of the Rif's to train with! Truth!
