Getting stronger/functional fitness

QuikDogs

Been lifting heavy for about 1/2 a year now. Got to my goal of 250+ dead last week, and my new goal is 300 lb.

So yesterday a friend needed help trimming her sheep's feet. She usually catches them and tips them up, but she hurt her knee and so it was my turn to catch the little darlings. They weigh maybe 200 lbs on average. Last time I did this, about a year ago, they were huge. Yesterday, (you guessed it) they were puny little things. I accidentally really kind of slammed one poor girl down, I just didn't know my own strength! I apologized and she didn't seem to mind - once we let her go she went through my pockets looking for goodies.

Yay for being strong! Lift forever.

That is awesome! I had a similar experience carrying a laundry basket with my toddler in it up and down the stairs (he thought it was fun, I was just proud that a full basket+toddler felt so light!)

But damn, I am impressed you were running around lifting sheep!
