Thanks for the welcome and feedback! I agree on taking it slow. I know nothing in this hobby comes fast and so I'm taking it one day at a time. I'm sure I can lift and push a lot more, but want to do a gradual increase even if it means it takes me a bit longer to get where I want to be. The important thing for me is not to re-injure my back.

Thanks again.
