It has been a hectic weekend where I have not stopped. Only now sitting down and thinking of the week ahead. How was everyone else’s weekend? What did you all get up to?
It’s crazy how much different things can affect your strength and mindset. Last week, I could not deadlift 90kg - it would not budge from the floor. Today? 97.5kg lifted, which is just a smudge off 2xBW for me. 💪🏼 #fitness#gym
New job things… my soul is tired as I hate being the newbie at anything. The best part of the week was when an international student stopped in his tracks while I was holding the light stand to say “big muscles!” and give me a thumbs up. 😂🫣
Took part in a CrossFit comp with my sister over the weekend - 5 workouts over 2 days. It was incredibly humbling but a lot of fun too. I wanted to deadlift double my BW but only managed 173%. The hardest part? A workout going between the echo bike and power snatches.
And in other excellent news, I have landed on a permanent job with a university, starting on Tuesday! Time to get some nice work fits. Thankful the unemployment was very short-lived. ❤️
