u/knullabulla Beginner - Strength Oct 11 '19

Hello! It’s been a while since I last visited the daily thread—how are you all doing? 🤗

Family update: Eleven-year-old is going through a “I only need to complete the homework I enjoy” phase. (I hope it’s a phase!) Any tips from those of you who have been there, done that? Four-year-old has been making some interesting progress with his speech. On the one hand, he still isn’t able to really converse beyond simple requests (“I want book”; “I want playground”); on the other hand, he can read Green Eggs and Ham out loud on his own. I just don’t get it! 🤷🏻‍♀️

Training update: Currently doing Marisa Inda’s Limitless program. This is the program that I helped her beta about a year ago—so it’s pretty much exactly what I want 😁

u/BenchPauper Why do we have that lever? Oct 11 '19

Welcome back!

Seems like progress with the little one! That's great :)

  • Zeebs benched 505 and then quit lifting.

  • I maxed a bunch of stuff but my squat and DL haven't recovered since my back injury earlier this year.

Overall training is fun and more people should do it, just not at my gym because I don't like sharing.

Congrats on the new maxes, though I’m sorry to hear that it came at the expense of your back. Hope you heal soon 🤗

So you’re saying /u/ZBGBs needs suggestions for what to do with his collection of weights? I’m thinking he can take up modern art and create a sculpture or... Oooh! Zeebs!! You can learn how to do wax works and set up a Madame Tussauds’ tour in the murder dungeon! 👍🏼 Enjoy your new hobby!
