I want to hear what you’ve done recently that you’re proud of.

    I hit a 4 plate (405lbs/183kg) deadlift for 5 reps the other day. When I finished, a fellow gym bro dapped me up and said “nice job, you’re strong.” I wasn’t really looking for compliments, but it was definitely a great feeling!

        Thanks! I don’t compete, but I’ve always thought about it. I think I might be too old to start lol I’m 31 and am really just trying to see how strong I can get before my body doesn’t let me do it anymore

    When I started back squatting my initial goal was bodyweight (225-ish) now I’m up to 265 for 3 sets of 5 and 225 is a warm up.

    I started running again recently after having neglected exercise for nearly a year and worked up three miles without stopping to walk the other day.

    I’ve been trying to go to my fitness class once a week. I’m keeping it up, so now I might bump it up to twice a week!

    >10k steps/day (on average) since half a year. Often up some hills around here. Had a few days “off” with sickness or injuries, but also other (e.g. hiking) days with multiples of that. Good for mental health, eyesight, and some (basic) conditioning.

    Very good track record of going to the gym 3 times per week for a year. Few exceptions. Eating well. I can feel and see improvements, and apparently so can others. Likely in the best shape of my life so far, and let’s see where we can go. I once read male fitness tends to peak around 25-27, but I’m much better now than back then and not intending to stop improving for a while still.
