JB pieces could mean anything at this point, stories or desiccated flesh.

I hope the former.

getting back into a routine is bloody hard. A week or so off the usual routine for covid related illness and it was a struggle. 6 weeks would have been like starting from scratch

Yeah, feels like. I decided to make a virtue of it. Since I can't get back to my one rep max on my squat for ages, I'm gonna take as much time as i need to perfect the movement thru the full range of motion at a lower weight.

"I just did my first upper body workout in six weeks. The surgeon warned me to take it easy after the melanoma excision/skin graft" I note those two sentence don't necessarily support each other. The missing piece of info does the surgeon consider your six week pause then doing this workout sufficient or is that a Dr Birmingham assessment? (I'm sure by now some uni has awarded you a doctorate based on your literary achievements by now)
