I  feel good about my effort tonight. I had good time under tension with the 165lb and I had to work for every rep I got. I didn't make a full 5x5, so next squat day, that's the goal.  I'm also pleased that I actually managed some decent hanging leg raises. Progress of any kind is motivating. I'm proud of Frank for his effort as well. I know all too well the struggle of getting back in the game after you've slacked off. It makes it easier though when you have someone else in the fight with you and we're doing this together. I also feel good about tonight because this past Sunday I fell while working out in the yard and landed square on my back. I've been a little sore and feeling like I'm out of alignment, but I really didn't want to go to the chiropractor and start down that slippery slope again. I'm happy to say that I have no significant cramping and I got a lovely few pops and cracks while I was hanging from the bar tonight. Next stop is the foam roller parked in front of the TV
