Nice 295lb squat.

Gym life

I had a spinal injury last June and have finally returned to lifting.  A lot of the work starts slow.  If you're new to lifting don't give up.  You typically won't see lasting visible changes begin until 8 to 10 weeks.  Build for strength and not vanity.

10 weeks completed

I’m going

Tell me about your goals and if you have any gains since you started. I have gains in my shoulders and biceps/triceps since i started a few months ago.

Any one here local who is passionate about weight lifting?

Back Attack!!!

Calm lil lift today

It's been a really educational journey to go from lifting 5kg in a bicep curl to 17,5kg on a barbell. Some days are better and for pushing, other days are maintenance. 

I really want to start documenting the progress over time.

Upper body day

I like people who take care of their mind, body and spirit. 💖

Raw and natty

Think I’m doing well. What do you think?

Progress

Have the courage to be happy whether getting healthy or talking to that person or trying out something new . Just have courage it will work out at the end

Trust the process

Iron teaches without speaking.
The bar waits, cold and indifferent,
a straight line of truth across the knuckles.
You step under it carrying names, regrets,
old conversations that never found an ending.
Gravity does not care.
That is its mercy.
The breath locks in.
The world narrows to bone and intention.
In that moment there is no future, no memory,
only the honest arithmetic of will versus weight.
Your body remembers what your mind forgets:
how to strain, how to stand, how to endure.
The plates rattle like a storm being negotiated.
Muscle burns, not as pain but as proof.
Something feral wakes up,
a thing older than language,
and it does not ask for permission to try.
When the bar moves, even an inch,
something inside you moves with it.
Shame loosens. Fear loses leverage.
You realize strength is not loud.
It is quiet and heavy and earned.
At lockout, there is release.
Not joy exactly. Not pride.
Just a deep, cleansing silence
where the noise used to live.
You set the weight down,
and the floor receives it without judgment.
You walk away lighter,
not because the load was small,
but because you carried it long enough
to put it down on purpose.

The Catharsis of Iron

Id say this is for the ladies but would like to thank the bros in advance.

Gym struggles are real! I've been feeling stuck in my weightlifting routine lately... anyone else having trouble staying motivated? What gets you pumped up to hit the weights?

Struggle

Best pre workout is coffee and a cigarette, change my mind

Pre workout

I started lifting and exercising to be more helpful to you dad. So you could be proud of me. Now you're gone. Nothing makes the pain go away but watch over me. You'll be my spotter for life. You were 51. Im 26. I'll see you once it's my turn but please don't take my mom with you soon. This set is for you big dawg.

I've felt like I've used the gym as a way to improve my life but sometimes wonder if it's a crutch for me in ways.. glad that I'm getting only more involved in the fitness industry to make it all worthwhile

Tell everyone your thoughts!

Are you a gymcel? And is that a bad thing?

One of my favorite movements, here's an old video of me hitting 135

Good ol fashioned clean and jerk!
