Thanks, It looks a lot better when you watch it on a bigger screen. Plus when we looked at it I didn't have my glasses on. And we know that is a sign of old age. Take care and I will see you in a couple weeks.

Hey Jim,
Looks like you just missed on the 420. Got a bit out of your grove.
Great sound! ;D

Jim,
I think trying to go from nights to days in a day and a half took its toll. I also got a little of the rack going up with the 410. I've got two more bench workouts before the Arnold so we shall see how it goes.
