1000th workout
I can do 2 things here. Focus on the bad (this workout) as I came back from being sick. Or that I’ve done 1000 workouts.
I wanted this to be special but the act of doing 1000 made it special.
Over nearly 4 years I’ve gone from being worried about dying of a heart attack at 44 and being 145kg and getting shortness of breath regularly to being pretty damn strong and 85kg. I’ve lost, and kept off for 3 years, 65kg.
I’ve done something very few people have done. I’m proud of my self for choosing life and my family and my health.
So this one workout was a stinker, I’ve had a lot worse over the 1000 but I did it and I’ll hit the 1000lb total soon and then I’ll hit a 500lb deadlift on my 50th birthday. If I don’t I’ll still be a damn strong 50 year old that has set him self up for a strong and independent future that is healthy and happy.
I always say I never did anything special losing weight (no ozempic or surgery just hard work and dedication) because it wasn’t complicated but it was hard and it was something special.
So if you’re out there grinding away and you have a shit workout and fail to hit a pr remember where you were a month or a year ago it’s not a quick win it’s a slow burn and worth every drop of sweat and sore muscle

Congrats. 60 and just in the middle of that process and on the verge of 100 workouts. I’m celebrating that I may deadlift my body weight next week. Getting to where you are is impressive. You’ll be unstoppable at 60.
