    That really is awesome. I overlooked the strength of positive self-talk/identity for way too long. It amazes me how much we have get out of our own way sometimes.

    So true. To think I was capable of this my entire life, I just never knew it. Really raises the bar for everything in my life.

    My self identity may be a little too positive. So I’ve been told…… haters 😋

    Nothing wrong with having a strong sense of self, in my opinion.

    How’s everybody been doing? I hope the holidays and the start of ‘22 has been treating you all well. I came down with a sinus infection the week before Christmas, pulled a muscle around my ribs coughing during what I discovered to be an allergic reaction to cough medication, and still dealing with a little bit of congestion when the weather swings, but otherwise healthy. Working my way back after taking about two weeks off lifting. First time I’ve been idle for that long since December 2016. GIFs from a lower rep push session Monday night. I’ve cobbled together a PPL schedule using PHUL rep range principles, so far so good two weeks in.

    I went back to the gym after having 3 weeks off for vacation. I do Sydney Cummings workouts while I'm out of the gym.
    Yesterday's session:

    Solid work!

    Glad to hear you're on the mend and back at it. I took about a month off from lifting... Life, depression and a knee /ankle issue that was really ticking me off all played together.

    I started back at "it" on Jan 4th. Logging food, getting at LEAST 40oz water a day (which is about 30oz more than I usually got🙄), and two workouts a week.

    My weights are lighter (again, rehabbing that knee), but still doing the work.

    Just starting tonight's session, so I'll do a recap after. 😊

    I've been adding some different exercises to target and hit some areas from different angles.

    No gif, but i wanna thank @KickassAmazon76 for sharing her 7 week meso cycle with me
    I only just started this 7 week training, but i think i am going to like it.

    As someone who is more used to lower reps/ higher weight, this feels really challenging for me
    During the Wide stance singel DB squat (or goblet squat) i was using a weight, which normally wouldn't be a problem for me, for 5 or 8 reps
    But after rep 13, my legs started shaking like crazy, even one of the instructors noticed it and came up to me after, asking if i was okey? 🤣🤣

    I haven't taken video in a while. Just trying to keep going. My strength has dropped...I'm wondering if cutting weight too fast also cut strength🤔

    No GIFs but I did two strict pullups consecutively this week. My goal is now to reach 5 before the end of the year. I love this thread and this community! I don't know how to make a GIF though..only a video! :)

    If you download a gif maker app, you can convert a video into a gif pretty easily and then you'd just upload it here like you would a picture. 😊

    I love bamboo day. It’s me versus the small but lively, wriggling masses of weights.

    This looks like an accident waiting to happen (if it was me, lol). I'd never seen or heard of anything like it before you.

    This was my workout:
