Part of my frustration when I train comes from being so heavy I limit what I can do. But Ive been doing a lot of calisthenics at my new gym including walking up the wall til I am suspended upside down from the parallel bar and holding myself there as long as I can and I think its finally paying off. Tonight doing tricep push ups where you grip the bars at about chest height at side of body and push yourself off the floor and have been having to jump for momentum. Managed 3 where I literally just stood on tip toes and pushed myself off the floor. Thought Id have an aneurysm but I got my fat *kitten* off the floor unassisted. Felt good and am counting it as tonights NSV as thats over 200lb Im hauling into the air.

LOL! I think that is mostly all of our complaint once we actually get functional and moving again - our weight and bulk block us from doing things that would help us more! Endless cycle much?
Anywho, head out of work finally...think I survived wrestling the Xmas tree at work - it is now "zshooshed." Lights and decorations will commence manana... But I do have all kinds of scratches and welts. It is really ridiculous. :-/0 -
Yeah it is a frustration. I train with my friend who is about 4stone lighter than me and freuently get mad I cant match her but as she pointed out I am lifting 56lb more than she is in the air every single time0

Not to mention the extra 4 Stone you have on her just to start with. So you are carrying around that 4 stone all day long, 24/7, plus lifting it (yourself) in addition to the weight on your bar. I know that seems like a justification, but when you take out the emotion and look at it from logic only, it is true...0
