Carrying a full 12-bottle case of wine from my parking space to my house without stopping is now only unpleasant, instead of impossible.

What have you done in day to day life recently that's easier because you're stronger?

    I recently hurt my knee falling on some ice. When I went to Target to stock up on bottled water I was basically able to do one leg squats to pick up a case on bottom shelf then put it in my cart. Did four reps :wink: Don't think I could have managed that before.

    Edit: Case of wine you say???:love:

    Great NSV!

    Speaking of the wine... care to share? :laugh:

    For me, there was food left over from a lunch meeting and I offered to bring down some of the left overs. Well I was warned that it was quite heavy... yeah not for me!

    I've taken to changing the water for our water cooler at work. It used to be a struggle, but I could manage, but now I can do it no problem. Now I don't have to avoid doing it anymore :smile:

    @fittree - one-legged squats: Awesome!
    @Julie - 40lb, nice. I'll get there. I used to carry 25lb sacks of horsefeed as a teenager without a problem, which freaked out some of the guys at the yard...
    @auddii - I've been avoiding changing the water cooler. I'm not sure being stronger will help with that ;)

    @all - yes, I can share, just as soon as you get to my bit of Blighty :)

    Watch out; we might take you up on that... When we do our BAMF conference, I for one vote for having it in England...

    Did someone say wine? In England? I'll third. :bigsmile:

    I am seriously impressed...My dad sent me a case of my very favorite wine from Napa at Christmas because you can't get it out here, and I couldn't lift even a corner of it...Of course, that was when I was doing absolutely NOTHING but plate to mouth lifts, sooo...I may have to go try and lift it again...it's only got one bottle missing.

    What an AWESOME NSV!!!!

    I will happily provide wine if that many awesome BAMF women show up. It'll be a small price to pay :)
