Sorry to highjack your gym post but just wanted to DITTO this reply. Thx guys Stu, I was in a similar position to you, did my back in, ironically dead lifting, took a year off then started training again, still have to be very careful though, soooo easy to twig it and be off for a couple of days. Now days at my age I train to stay in shape that's all, still miss the heavy days under the iron though, .......
