    Man, i'd love to have that handle in my gym, seems it gives so much better grip than the overhand grip thing

    I have been struggling with some emotional stuff. It's had me feeling weepy, angry, and wanting to eat comfort food in the comfort of my pj's.

    I have NOT wanted to go to the gym to do week 7 day 2 squats at 95% of 1rm. Not. At. All.

    Granted, I have been using a value of 210lb for squats even though my best was 1 at 240, I've been dealing with hip issues and was going lighter.

    Anyways... Today I went. It was hard to go. Really hard. But I went. I put on workout clothes that were obnoxiously loud. Put on music that was heavy. And went.

    And I'm so glad I did. I managed 6 reps at 205lb, which is actually close to a calculated 1rm at 240. That was a huge mood boost.

    Also, leg press with 3 plates each side makes me feel incredible. As if I'm something special.

    I'm the end... I'm not In as bad a mood as I was before I went. And I'm glad I did.

    This game is so much a mental one.

    Thanks Chris. 😊

    It helps me keep the biceps out of the exercise.

    Yeah, you can really pull with your back and not your arms

    This has been a horrible week. Two family members in the ER in two days. No sleep. So many tears. In the end they'll both live to see more days. Still.. My heart is hurting, and tired. So very tired.

    The one was my son and it was self inflicted. 😔 He's getting help, but it feels like it's taking so long.

    The other was my mom, and we thought it might be pancreatic cancer based on the symptoms, pain and labs. Thankfully no tumours were found, so it is probably pancreatitis.

    They both hit within 24h and while I was operating on 2h of sleep. Needless to say it all hit very hard.

    thanks for the kind words. ❤️

    I don’t even know what to say. I hope for healing for all of you.

    thank you both. I am at work today and am counting the hours til the weekend. I feel like I could sleep a week! Mom is back home and is in a lot of pain, but hopefully on the mend.

    You are your only competition. Improvement is desired but remember that 116kg is still a solid lift and something to be proud of too!

    Did my 1rm for bench and squat and am unimpressed with the results. I'd really hoped for 240lb for squats and 135lb for bench. Oh well... Another round here we come!

    Trust the progress, even though it seems slow sometimes
    And i recognize the impatience, i want to see big differences as well, but forget that 10 small steps make a huge step
