Great!

You know, the major reason I'm formally going back to the gym, I hadn't gone since Jan or Feb 2020, is to get me back to a place where I can do those kinds of things when I want to without worry of injury because when you're not strong, you're more likely to overexhert (fucking phone doesn't know that word) yourself. The last thing you especially need over 40 is a torn ligament or tendon injury. I don't want that either. I got my first pains recently, like a tired back and shoulder, working out carefully with PY keeps them at bay but they come back without that.

Anyway, next piece of advice, drink lots of water when working out. I drink next to nothing all day but at the gym it's more than 1/2 L per hr.

(Fuck cups oz and pints, no one knows what those are, stop it, the water bottles come in 1/2, 1 and 2L while milk and other shit comes in quarts and gallons. No one needs oz.)

My friend used to say, "water makes the muscles grow". It was a stolem colloquialism, made a lot more sense back then.
