damn,bro! 6'-5"? you must get respect with a capital "R"! i am sure you'll gt back to 475, you ve a good attitude - so take it slow and easy on the shoulder. u EVER look into GH? I used it for my joints and it seemed to help repair my knees beyond my hopes. Only thing is that i have numb toes - so no perfect solutions - lol I'd race you to 20" guns....but you are too far ahead of me - maybe 21"? that should take me about 2 years i figure.....
