I just L-O-V-E breaking my previous personal bests. It’s great to feel the tangible improvement. The downside is that my coach knows this, so he is always looking for ways to put me on the clock, or to get a max count in a given time, etc. At the end of the day, I’m more capable.
For example, swinging a 20 kg kettlebell as a warmup? 6 months ago, that would have about done me in. Now, I can feel the pop on my extension, and although I do get winded, I can keep going to the next movement. Its’ all good!

Are you sure you’re not just a slut?
Congrats on the PR!
Thank you for providing me with the weasel-word ‘just’. Yes, I can say I’m not just a…
More to come, slowly and in time!
BTW, nice to see all the registrants on the site! Congrats!
BTW, I did my first “springs pilates” class with my wife… nice workout… got a bit of a raised eyebrow from the instructor because of my “Ironman Finisher” t-shirt… so he decided to punish me… at least he made my workouts 2x times harder than the rest of class.
Anyway… the point is… when are you gonna invite me to your gym?
Well, we’re sorta in the demolition stage on the space, so it will be a bit. But not too much longer!
