Can’t really remember the weight. I just remember them being a little too heavy. Stuck with it anyway. I still can’t seem to get my balance right for these. Still holding on to something.

Weight is staying consistently at 74.5kg for the most part and currently really comfortable with it. Love handles are there, but meh. Really wanna know how it will feel playing sports.
Happy cake day!

Bit the bullet and bought myself a pioneer cut belt. I’ll just tell myself I deserve it after all this stress this year.

So three days after I make a pioneer fit purchase, Alan Thrall releases a video with a now legit discount code. Gah.
Pioneer fit gave me the 10% discount even if it was applied retroactively. Awesome people. No wonder Alan Thrall and Ben Pollack endorses them without reserve.

Out of curiosity, when do you think you’ll be able to touch a barbell again? Nice progress on the pull ups.

Thanks!
Probably July, if everything goes according to plan. Some small chance it could be sooner. The current problem is, I’m always around old folks, so if I catch covid, it could turn out really bad for them.
I’m really interested to see what effect this phase will have on my lifts. I imagine all other lifts going up and my squat suffering, but I’m not too worried about my squat because I’m sure it will bounce back quickly
With how quickly time has passed during the pandemic, that’s not too far away
Yup! That’s why I’m hesitant to buy more weights. If I get accepted in March, I’ll have to move to the east coast by June.
A barbell and a few plates can go a long way, but I also sympathize with how terrible moving is. And by that point gyms might be less restrictive if having home gym equipment is unfeasible in the new place.
