For months I've been promising myself a mobility day. No plan other than to scroll the mobility drills I've saved and do a few that might help with things I want to get better at. Out of my comfort zone but f#@k it.

Subconsciously, I think I had to squat without sleeves to justify #deloading but you got to do what you got to do. Happily no snap-crackle-and-pop in the knees. No time to wait for bench press so chest press had to do.

When your son's playing rugby on the top of a mountain. At least that's what it felt like 💨🥶 Nice to feel the wind on my face and talk with other parents who are battling injury and illness to get movement back in their lives. Thought the inside of my welly felt slippery

"The only workout you regret is the one you didn't do." No. I regret the one I did yesterday when the pain in my glute was just easing off. Listening to my body isn't undisciplined/ lazy falling off the wagon. #goingintherightdirecton 🫶🏾

1st squats were like good mornings. My face says it all. Nearly talked myself out of pressing the red plates but💪🏾. Rushed the deadlifts because I was out of time. Gonna have to reprogram to make sure there's time to be safe. #goingintherightdirecton #selfcare #selflove #goodenough #notperfect
Today's session & video reminded me not 2 worry about "perfect". Movement still feels good even if you didn't go as heavy as you wanted, as far as you wanted or as fast as you wanted.

Got in, did the basics and got out. Walking to and from the car was hard but the lifting was mercifully uneventful. Post-injury, squatting less than this has resulted in serious pain so I'm happy to be #goingintherightdirecton albeit SLOWLY. Grateful to have this #movement back in my life for now.
Happy that the #overheadpress is still increasing without any hint of forearm/ elbow pain. Is it me or does the #deadlift look more like a #Romaniandeadlift? Might just be because the weight is still relatively light. #startingover is harder than starting but #goingintherightdirecton
The weight's going up and it's still feeling good so I'm #GoingInTheRightDirecton
I REALLY didn't want to go this morning and not having my earphones was almost the last straw. Glad I was able to show up for myself though.
Bit of a grind this morning but I was there. I'm feeling wiped out but my elbow doesn't hurt so I'll take that win. 57.5kg for the working sets. #GoingInTheRightDirecton albeit slowly.
Barbell rows are usually my least exciting Stronglift but they felt good today. Can see my heel picking up a little but very happy not to feel elbow(y) in the lift. #GoingInTheRightDirecton. #realman #realmen #realmensbodies #plussizeman #bigboylifting #notaweightlossjourney #bigmovement
