New one rep max on bench press of 98kg today. That 100kg goal is in sight. Nice finish to a stressful week. #liftheavyshit
Today I was feeling good through the first 4 sets. First 3 reps of the last set were good, but on the last rep the bar came down a bit crooked and it threw me off so I failed. Very frustrating, but at least some progress.

Nice work! It's always good to #liftheavyshit
Max clean and jerk day today and managed to match the max clean nicely but after missing an earlier jerk at 98% my brain was like nope nope nope. #garageGym #BlueskyGym #LiftHeavyShit
New one rep max on bench press achieved today: 94kg. Inching closer to my target of 100kg. Never too old to #liftheavyshit
Overthinking doesn’t burn calories: action does.
Stop overthinking and take one action: do one push-up; then, tomorrow do two.
The only way to win this game is to hit start.

After a bit of a week, I needed this gym session. This time last year I was lifting 66kg for bench at 3x5.

I wasn't expecting much from the gym today because my neck and left shoulder are really stiff (for some unknown, probably age-related reason) so I was pleasantly surprised with a new PB on bench press. 5 sets of 4 reps at 76kg. #liftheavyshit
Go you. Building muscle has lifelong benefits, both physical and mental. Always important to #liftheavyshit
Feeling pretty pleased after lifting 91kg for a new one rep max on bench press at the gym today. Strength training is really important for us older folks. #liftheavyshit

EZ 6 after yesterday’s long run. A bit sore from the excursion but everything worked itself out. Looks like weights this afternoon. Gotta keep up the anti-fragility program as my coach calls it!

I wish I didn’t have long femurs so I could get depth. Adding weight and getting stronger. #gymrat #seniorgymrat #liftheavyshit #squats
