After trying to think of an answer for a minute, I have resolved to try harder.

That’s the best I’ve got for now chief 🦾😒

Incline pressed 100lb dumbbells for the first time in about 18 years

Childhood friend invited me to his wedding, and bought a suit that was way too large, everywhere. Got it tailored and it ended up being too small everywhere except shoulders, too wide. Had a month left to bulk up my shoulders and slim down. Ended up fitting like a glove. Haven’t looked that good in ages.

I’ve lost 20kg over the last 5 months. Got another 10kg to go til I’m at my usual winter weight, just gotta keep it off til next summer and drop another 10kgish.

Not much, but it’s mine and I did it without drastically changing my life.

I’m finally back at my normal 1 rep max weights after covid. It took me a year to go back to the gym and about 6 months to get back to my previous max. Focused a lot more on cardio this time which has helped a lot.

Three wins I got this summer were:

1. Routinely hike 15+ km and went from taking a break to catch my breath to taking breaks to enjoy being in nature.
2. Able to do a pull up from a neutral position.
3. Hovering climbing 1,776 stairs in 30 minutes on the stair machine.

I had surgery over a month ago and wasn’t allowed to lift anything heavier than 30lb. So I ended up (carefully) doing a bunch of bodyweight exercises. Now I’m gradually adding weight to my lifts again.

I did a 1005 lb leg press today.

Squatted 315 for the first time in like 9 years since I had a injury that scared me to push too hard. Felt good!
