If you got where you wanted you wouldnāt have anything to motivate you to go further, itās not about a finish line dude, itās a marathon of change and adjustments to be the best you can be and that perception of best will change over time.
All I ever wanted to do was bench 300, squat 400 and deadlift 500 and once I hit that I stopped pushing myself, thatās honestly why I donāt weightlift right now Iāve already proven to myself I can do things I never dreamed of, once I do go back it will be because of health not my ego. I can tell you right now Iām not as strong as I used to but Iām physically way healthier, in better shape, looking better and feel better on the inside. Physical strength isnāt happiness bud, focus on that and donāt allow yourself to ever have a limit.
This was the last time Iāll ever be able go that heavy on squats. Iāll continue to lift but Iāll focus more on bodybuilding rep ranges now, i hope i can continue with that for a long time but weāll seeā¦ it is what it is. Stay strong ā¦ chase them reps, chase them goals
Yesterday (Tuesday) I had a ābrilliantā idea to go for a longer swim. With fins (doctorās recommendation).
Anyway, swam for a whole 10 km, nothing too strenuous - well, obviously, since I had flippers on - but today (Wednesday) I had to postpone my gym session for a day, because of two awful blisters the fins caused me .
But nevermind, the weather forecast says itās going to start raining in a couple of days, so at least I seized another day of summer
Last time heavy deadlifting for me was disappointingā¦ I wanted 500 but failed at 465ā¦ this was 415, i hit 445 and missed 465 twiceā¦ Iāll miss pulling really heavy weight but itāll be okay training differently. I fell short of all but 1 of my 1 rep lifting goals but 1 outa 4 aināt bad for an underachieving fella like myself. Stay strong
Constantly got those aches and pains we all know about. I stretch 2x a day, foam roll, lacrosse ball, TENS therapy, and ice. Every single day.
Looking for something more, since I always feel like I have sonething nagging at me. The pricetag is a bit staggering though. I guess I could try it and return it if it isnāt worth the money. Just curious if anyone here has used one.
Thanks! I feel like so many of my little tweaks are just so deep in there, hopefully this helps. I am also hoping it can help my back too by relaxing the muscles in the hips and legs.
Pro is the one I was looking at, too. Go big or go home, right? Iāll likely go for itā¦again, can always return it if I feel it wasnāt worth it. Iāll just call it an early self birthday gift
ā¦ chase them reps, chase them goals
