Well, how do you fill in the blank?
It could be anything; being covered in sweat, managing to lift a heavier weight, completing all your planned sets, trying a new exercise/machine, getting a compliment, running further/quicker... Endless.
Mine is that whatever I've done, if I've added 5kg to my Deadlift, I walk out of there with my head held high.
What's yours?

Ditto.
Which is why I'll be just as happy today after lifting a fraction of my working weight as I will be when I'm back up to 100% next week (I think).
It's my first day back after a flu relapse - said relapse triggered by jumping back into lifting and running too hard. Oops.0 -
Hit or upped the weights and counts on my planned session.
Much easier to do now that I keep a journal.0 -
Do the workout that's written in my book.0

How do you calculate this? I'm just wondering as I don't spend a great deal of time on one machine but move around a lot, or do you have a fitbit like device that does that for you?0 -
Sweat running down my shins so my socks are wet - then I've REALLY worked hard :-)0

When I'm drenched with sweat and my muscles are shaking! When I feel drained and energized at the same time.0
