I want to hear what you’ve done recently that you’re proud of.
When I started back squatting my initial goal was bodyweight (225-ish) now I’m up to 265 for 3 sets of 5 and 225 is a warm up.
Congrats!
I just got my home gym finished after a few months off!
Congrats! What’s in it?
Basic equipment, 300lbs mixed bumper weights, 35lb and 45lb Olympic bars, ezcurl bar, powerblocks, rower, resistance bands.
The fact that I even started working out again after years. I’m keeping track of what I do every day. On day 3.
Nice work!
Thank you! Start of new week now for me. Gotta do my core today.
I didn’t want to work out today but I did.
I’ll try to do the same tomorrow.
My OHP is more than what my Bench was ~8 months ago when I started working out.
I can do a knee pushup now :) Still working on full pushups.
I hit a 4 plate (405lbs/183kg) deadlift for 5 reps the other day. When I finished, a fellow gym bro dapped me up and said “nice job, you’re strong.” I wasn’t really looking for compliments, but it was definitely a great feeling!
I’ve stuck to my routine and diet for a month now, and had someone tell me that i looked healthy recently.
Squatted 190KGx1 and Deadlifted 205KGx4.
Not all time PRs, but getting back to where I was ~8 years ago.
I made going to the gym a habit. Went to the gym for 25 out of 30 days in june. And I need a new belt right now, since the old one wasnt helping keeping my pants up anymore.
Nice work! You’ve done the hard part. As for belts, I got tired of cheap fake leather ones getting destroyed every 6 months and bought a custom made real leather belt fit to my size. It’s lasted about 5 years now with another decade or two left in it. I’m a fan.
i’ve been biking back and forth from work every day for the past month! about 12 miles round trip
>10k steps/day (on average) since half a year. Often up some hills around here. Had a few days “off” with sickness or injuries, but also other (e.g. hiking) days with multiples of that. Good for mental health, eyesight, and some (basic) conditioning.
Very good track record of going to the gym 3 times per week for a year. Few exceptions. Eating well. I can feel and see improvements, and apparently so can others. Likely in the best shape of my life so far, and let’s see where we can go. I once read male fitness tends to peak around 25-27, but I’m much better now than back then and not intending to stop improving for a while still.
I hit 4k on my journey back to 5k and lost enough weight that I’m now the same waist size I was in high school (a looong time ago!)
I started running again recently after having neglected exercise for nearly a year and worked up three miles without stopping to walk the other day.
Three miles strait having only started recently is solid
