Farmer’s Walk: One Step at a Time!

It may look like just walking, but carrying plates is a whole different challenge! 🥵 Every step tests my grip, strength, and endurance. Getting stronger, one heavy step at a time! 💪🏋️‍♀️

How present am I, really? And how present am I with the others?

Sometimes I wonder how often we are actually here, in the moment we are living, and how often we are somewhere else entirely. The mind has such a beautiful ability to travel through time. It takes us back into what has already happened, or forward into what might happen. It analyses, anticipates,… read more

Inspired by "The Map that Leads to You"

Transit A stray vector slides into another. Spacetime leaves a door ajar. Impact rearranges the internal weather. The moment thickens, elastic, and two lives stop negotiating with tomorrow. Time loosens its grip: the second widening into a field you can stand in. Tomorrow is a… read more

Finally added +10kg🏆 to my pinch grip, but the knurling is really painful, so I could only ever so slightly improve my hook grip😢

Solitude

"How should a person react when forced to choose between the life they have spent years building and a life they are unfamiliar with, because they have never known anything else? How to carry oneself, how to act... in moments like these, I wonder if I have forgotten, or if I never even knew in the… read more

Tic Tic Tic

(Intro) (Ooh-ooh-ooh...) (Oh! yeah...) It's a long weekend, travelling is hectic With lot of work, I feel bit septic Though people are sceptic—all I believe is Time just says tic- tic -tic... (Verse 1) The inbox is screaming, the deadlines are tight I’ve been chasing the ghosts in the monitor… read more

Galactic Racer

This game has a tight grip on my time lately. Anyone else enjoying it?

No calendar. No accounting of yesterday's acorns. Only the branch, the grip, the next second demanding a decision. The squirrel never saves being alive for later.

Nobody remembers your name. Blood's already leaving. Rude. Every barb — a decision the last self never voted on. Eye holds light it can't keep. Greedy, but professional. Old feather doesn't fall — evicted mid-argument, still sure it was load-bearing. Grip opens. That was the plan.

Finally added +10kg🏆 to my pinch grip, but the knurling is really painful, so I could only ever so slightly improve my hook grip😢

There's a thin line between Spirituality & Psychosis.

...have you got the grip not to slip?

I came back for myself

I came back for you my dear In the warmth of the sunlight I remembered you Honest, flawed, curious, and loving I remember the times you carried heavy weights in your soul, and thought tomorrow would not come I remember the times you laughed, laughed with all of your might Lifted your voice… read more

10 of swords

The mind reaches its limit and finally loosens its grip. Thoughts that kept spinning all week begin to fall apart on their own, like pages slipping from a notebook you no longer need to carry. The 10 of Swords isn't dramatic here. It's the quiet realization that overthinking has nothing left to… read more

Where the Sea Learns to Breathe

The sea rests like a quiet thought, untroubled and vast, its surface a mirror where clouds linger and drift without haste. Gentle ripples trace the shoreline, whispering stories only stillness can hear. Here, time loosens its grip, and the world softens into blue, into light, into calm. Beneath the… read more

Very satisfied today

I'm very happy this morning because I was able to tolerate the pain in my left hand and somehow grip the handle to finally train my left arm this time. I'm not completely healed but I actually tolerated the pain and improved my max volume at 32.5kg! My right is improving solidly. Maybe next month i… read more

When you're already been hanging in so long you're loosing your grip on the one thing left keeping you together 😜

Se grip strikes in again.

iNFJ/INTJ dark side. Prefer stay at home than club.

It might be the time to loosen up the grip, and let things be

Otherwise you might loose more than you already are. Take a pause. Its okay to surrender. (edited)

The internet.

The internet can be a scary place. It is where the shallow love to congregate. People create their own personas, and focus so much on cultivating it that they lose their grip on reality. You do not need to be special. You do not need to be interesting. You just need to be You. Water finds its on… read more

Yep it's broken

Can't lie to myself anymore, left middle knuckle has been broken the past week. I tried dropping the weight to 20kg and the pain runs through the carpal bones, I just can't grip the roller handle even with false grip. On the brighter side, my right is steadily getting stronger 💪. I just hope I… read more

Anyone out there interested or going to see Peaches and Pixel Grip, Friday March 20th at the Bellwether? Maybe we can start a meeting up and have a bite and drinks before or/and after the show? (edited)

I think I'm slowly losing a grip on my mental health. I was in such a good spot now I just feel the slow sink into disppar. It's such an unnerving feeling but one I'm used to for better or worse. Only positive thing to come out of it is when you emerge from it you feel born anew

Unraveled Words

I count the ways I let you down On my fingers and toes but I'm running out Clever words can't help me now I grip you tight but you're slipping out. And I remember your eyes were so bright When I first I met you, so in love that night And now I'm kissing your tears goodnight And I can't take it,… read more

Chapter 50 - The Anchor and the Threshold

Sakura's hand hesitated over the water basin, the warm, damp cloth suddenly feeling as heavy as lead. The old title of affection for her sister had slipped out against her will, carrying with it a tangled knot of childhood longing and deep, rusted resentment. Despite all the years of silence, the… (edited) read more

Day 153 of Year 4's Dancing Today In Music Livin' On The Edge Aerosmith

On this day in 1993, Aerosmith's comeback was completed, as their Get A Grip album debuted at no. 1, marking their first trip to the top of the albums chart. Being that Aerosmith is my favourite band, I decided that for day 153 of year 4's dancing, I would dance to five Aerosmith songs & that is… read more

Is my experience of cycling unusual?

Around March, I started walking on the advice of my therapist. After about a month of this, I gave up on it, as my feet and ankles became intolerably achy and sore. I could stand my feet being a bit sore immediately after a walk, but the pain persisted for days, even when I cut back the walking… (edited) read more

04/01/2026

The tendon synovitis has been unbearable the past few months. I still hope the pain ends after a 12 month like my hands, but that's still another 8 months to go. I think my grip is somewhat bouncing back even with the pain, but it's still -20kg in the hook, although the fat grips are almost… read more

Losing Momentum

I find myself questioning everything about what I'm doing here again. Depression has me in its grip once more which is a factor but I can feel the landscape of my mind growing darker and colder with every passing day. I'm beginning to think that I've made yet another mistake with this reform. I… read more

I found my real weight

I was a little concerned to train forearm flexors because I just trained grip 2d ago. But the first time I trained forearm flexors, I didn't find my limit. Finding my new limit is debatable because the technique you can see in the video has the element of the handle bar not rolling smoothly… read more

🚪

Some doors are never meant to be reopened. Some doors were never truy closed, only held shut by hands too weary to maintain their grip forever. Some boundaries are only kept in place by our own reluctance to let go.. Leave certain chapters behind and focus on new beginnings.

Last week, I was shaking a garden hose to siphon water from my fish pond when the connector flew off and disappeared. I never bothered searching for it… it was tiny, and the hose still worked without it.

Today, as I walked by, I casually pressed down on the canvas roof of my swing. To my surprise, the missing connector rolled into view. It had somehow landed nearly three meters away from where it came off, perched high above the ground where I never would have thought to look. It reminded me of… read more

It feels heavy because you are carrying it!

I used to think my exhaustion was a measure of my devotion, that if I wasn’t carrying the weight then I wasn't caring enough. I believed the ache in my shoulders was just the price of being a person who feels deeply. But I’ve realized that the weight isn't the situation; it’s my grip. I am tired… read more

Wolf quartermaster HQ

So I just restored a wolf quartermaster drill. These were produced by an English company called wolf that was baught out in the 1980s and started in the 1900s I believe. It was running when my neibour brought it over however it wasn't smooth. Originally painted a light green the quartermaster was… (edited) read more
