Today was tough emotionally. Dealing with some medical issues, some emotional issues. I legit came into my basement wanting to cry. And I did. For a good fifteen minutes.
But then I lifted. And I made my weight.
This is the last set. I'm going slower and watching the weight distribution - focusing on using my quads and reducing the pressure in my abdomen. Trying to watch for the hernia pressure and make sure I don't transfer weight / pressure into that area.
I'll work at this weight or lower for the next while, so likely won't post repeats. But I still did it.
I effin did it.
This is not an addiction. This is therapy. I do this because here I feel powerful whereas in so many areas of my life I feel powerless. Lifting heavy shows me that I am strong. I can push through the hard stuff. I am more than I think I am, and I can handle more crap thrown on my shoulders than I feel like I can some days.15 -

That last rep looked like a grind for sure but you did it for sure. I am impressed by your form. I know due to your height its a lomg way down into the hole, and you are way down there. I'm like you as well, I get emotional and moving mass around helps me cope as well. There's nothing like a PR to change your mental state.3 -

Thank you for this. It is a long bar path to travel, and sometimes the way back up feels even longer! Haha
I appreciate the feedback and it's nice to know that others feel like I do. Glad to call you friend!1 -
Good job @KickassAmazon761

Repeated 225lb tonight. Still a bit of rounding on the last rep, so I'll repeat it again.

Bench at 85lbs. Sigh. Not proud of this weight. But not leaving here anytime soon. Lol

I do, and I’m now wondering if it’s too late to change my sexual preferences.5 -
Lifting ?
Lately, it's been lifting this pizza off of the plate
and Fitness?
... fitdis whole slice into my pie-hole.
Off to the gym again tonight (bulking since 1993)
and for clarity, no, that's not actually me in the gif. (close, but no.)
