Hmm. Kinda mixed PT session today. On the plus side, I hit the milestone of managing to load half my bodyweight onto the squat bar. And then I knocked out 4 full sets at that weight.
Now... this m... read more

Weights took longer today so there was less chance for kickboxing afterwards, but I still had enough in me to slam the hell out of the pads for 20minutes and enjoy it.
Nice end to a great workout :-)

I love your determination to get things done. Very wise decision, listening to your body and finishing with a walk. I hope you come to the end of your injury problems soon x

Thanks Michelle. Y'know, if I'm honest, I suspect the whole niggly injury thing is going to be with me as long as I breathe. There always seems to be something niggling or twinging or hurting, and sometimes I feel like I should just stop harping on about them....

But... the truth is that when I talk about things that hurt here, I can at least get feedback from other people about whether I'm being an idiot for trying to push through, or a wimp for coddling myself. It's so damn hard to know which way to lean sometimes (although I have to admit, I'm developing more and more of a preference for the "better safe than sorry" angle as I get older)

Thanks Michelle - I've missed posting! I had a death in the family (my father passed away back in July after a long battle with cancer, heart disease and diabetes), and then managed to injure my shouler shortly afterwards... and THEN buggered up my lower back. *sigh*. Trying to get back into everything now - albeit slowly!

This sounds like a great session. Squatting half your body weight is awesome! Really good, strong work here x

Thanks, Michelle. I'm not sure if it's the first time I've ever got my squat weight up to this point... but if not, I'm pretty sure I've never gone higher.
Which means that my next session (or the one after that) should let me create a new PR... and that's always something to celebrate.
And then the next goal will be making it to 75% of my bodyweight. Hey, it's something to aim for!

Nice. Very nice. Finding a PT who matches ones needs takes time ... so take the time.
