Please can I share my small achievements?

[Blobby10]

This morning I broke through the (probably mental) 100kgs barrier on my Barbell Hip Thrust and managed 2 sets of 5 reps @ 105kg . This is the shoulders on a bench one btw !!! I'm so chuffed with myself.

I also managed 2 sets of 5 reps Box Squat with 52.5kgs - my target is half of what my daughter is Box Squatting (Shes a semi pro sportswoman and 18 yrs old!) which is currently 140kg .

I know they aren't massive weights and a couple of years ago I would have given up trying by now, considering myself useless for not being able to match my daughters weights by now. But, thanks to a lovely new boyfriend who has rebuilt me after divorce, my mindset is so different and I can be proud of the little steps that I achieve rather than focussing on what I can't do.

Whoop! I don't do either of those but can sense your joy and pride. It is lovely to see the effects of changing mindset and hard work!

Brilliant! Well done you! (But now you need a more positive UserName too. NoLongerBlobby10 or suchlike! )

That's amazing! You call it a small achievement, but I think that's bloody good!! I couldn't get anywhere near that!
Well done OP!!!

Well done, I don't know the specifics of those lifts, but it sounds like a massive amount of weight to me so don't downplay your achievements, that's amazing!

Thanks everyone 😄 Ypur good wishes have put a smile on my face this evening xx
