Had a nice upper body day. Everything felt pretty good. There's some elbow pain from squatting earlier this week, but some shoulder mobility work will alleviate that. After doing some axel presses, I've finally tested the waters on my 3 main lifts. I'll see where I can get them to by the end of year, then we'll set progression goals. https://blossom.primal.net/81e52e6f667030b81a16a81785681a74a97ca1b11423708b715eba3fe1fca468.mp4

Nice, little deadlift session today. Good use of all those Thanksgiving carbs calories. The three top sets from today are 365 lbs x 1, 405x1, and a back off for 375x2. Slowly building my strength back up. 405 wasn't moving much 3 weeks ago. https://blossom.primal.net/b51dfd0bb7eefdd4bce1144d71c477b49ec59c573920efbff86dd424b11168b4.mp4

Took step one in detwitterfying. Finally took that shit off my phone. Some habits to be broken for sure, but that's just a few days. I can just do it.

Made it to 10 years of marriage. Only the birth of my children are more important days in my life. Don't regret a single day of it.

Love seeing people working hard to push themselves while I'm at work. And seeing parents bring their kids in to introduce them weightlifting and fitness warms warms my heart. I believe that schools, especially in the US, have failed to educate children about health and wellness, so it's good to see some patents step up.

Just completed a run with Runstr! 🏃‍♂️💨 ⏱️ Duration: 00:38:06 📏 Distance: 3.36 mi ⚡ Pace: 11.34 min/mi 🔥 Calories: 356 kcal 🏔️ Elevation Gain: 122 ft 📉 Elevation Loss: 134 ft First run with Runstr and I doubt I'll go back to strava or anything else. Nice time outside. I'm realizing that a good outdoor run picks my mood up better than most things. #Runstr #Running

Even when we feel like we don't have enough time throughout the day, find time to do what you love or to work towards your goals. Spare a moment for yourself and put your best into you. That "me time" isn't selfish, it's important for self care. What we do and who we are suffers when we're feeling depressed, anxious, distracted, or just feeling like shit in general.

Only got a couple of exercises in today, but had some quality sets. #proofofwork #workout #fitness #gym

Didn't have too much time to exercise before work, so I reminded myself that we don't need a lot of time to bust out a decent workout nor do we need a lot of equipment. Make the necessary adjustments to get the right intensity. #proofofwork #workout #fitness #gym

Did kind of a full body workout today. Did a short 50lbs "ruck" at the end that ended up being more mentally challenging than I thought it would be. #proofofwork #workout #fitness #gym

Short and simple for #nostr workout 34. My son actually wanted to come today and got to shoot around, which was nice. #proofofwork #workout #fitness #gym

#nostr workout 33 was a nice easy run. I even took a minute off my average mile time with a 5 minute rest walk after finishing the first mile. Real close to getting my breathing patterns down and I really improved my running form from last time. #proofofwork #workout #fitness #running

#nostr workout 32 was a draining leg day with some calisthenics and some cardio at the end. Tried doing squats on the smith machine and got humbled. That fixed bar path and narrower space significantly changed how I do the movement. Lesson learned and I'll use the machine for more quad focused squat sessions. Cardio went well. The elliptical really helps my joints and anterior tibialis muscles (they run along the shins more or less). #proofofwork #workout #fitness #gym

GM What are we doing for a little self betterment today?

#nostr workout 31was short and simple, but fun, chest and back day followed by some interval training for my cardio. Starting to get a grasp on my breathing patterns while running depending on intensity. Also, I'm very happy with my pull ups progression. Slow, steady, consistent. #proofofwork #workout #fitness #gym #running

#nostr workout 30 was my first outdoor run of the year. Great to be outside running again, but a lot of room for improve cause that is a trash 2 mile. Happy that I'm taking my cardio more seriously #proofofwork #running #fitness #workout

#nostr workout 29 began with my first time trying a ruck. It was only a short one on a treadmill to get a feel for it, but I looked like I just climbed out of a pool when I was done. Had just enough for a short upper body lift. Good fun #proofofwork #workout #fitness #gym

Day 28 of #nostr workouts started with my cardio this time. A couple of leg exercises followed, rip my quads, and it was finished off with a couple rounds of a body weight circuit. Nice, long workout today. I needed this, badly. #proofofwork #workout #fitness #gym #running

Today is the 27th #nostr workout. Things happened over the past couple of days, but we adjust, recover, and press on. Very short workout today, again, hings happen. But everything felt good and progressing. #proofofwork #workout #fitness #gym
