That's the most important part. I'm glad to hear you feel well.

I'm two months post surgery and I've been putting in the time deadlifting, squatting, curling, push pressing, bar muscle ups, running, etc.. I'm really happy with my progress. My legs are feeling strong again and my joints feel far better. I took a two month sabattical this summer with almost a month of travel so my diet and workout routine suffered, then I had a surgery that put me out for a month. At 44, I was surprised how fast I went down hill. I decided to increase my reps to put less strain on my joints/ligaments. I did 100 burpees for time this AM and it was a challenge. I'm certainly not in Crossfit shape anymore, but my body is feeling good and I'm getting stronger. I really like the deadlift and squat for total body strength and muscle building. The farmer's walk is great too. I really like to run, but it's really counter productive for strength and joint longevity. I'm only running one day a week right now. I'm hiking with my little buddy now which I really enjoy. My diet is good, not great. I'm more motivated to gain strength and feel well than I am to be lean at this point of my life. I'm sure the bug will come around again as I've cut down many times over the last decade or so.
