Ashman’s rebuilding the broken old man one step at a time log

Training has been going slow the past couple weeks, by my own choice. As I wrote about a few times before, I am dealing with an iffy left hip and rebuilding everything from the floor up starting light and being smart. I have been leaving plenty of weight in the tank because of this plan, and as much as I want to push it faster is as much as I know I have to approach it this way for my long term progress and benefit.
