On 60kgs

[danieldwilliam]

At the gym this morning I dead-lifted 60kgs which is a new record for me.

It felt straight-forward. Helped by improving my technique through practice.

Looks like the pattern is to increase the weight by about 10kgs a week. I expect I'll hit a point soon where going up a bit in weight becomes more challenging.

Feeling pretty good about that.

That’s absolutely brilliant news.

Yes, I was pleased. Particularly with the improvements in the technique.

Thank you.

Congratulations!

I'm busy putting off proper exercise until it is warmer outside because I suck at exercising indoors. I have at least kept up my lunchtime walks so far though.

Lunch time walks are important and nice.

I'm lucky enough to be near a park, near some shops that I can usefully visit and also near the river so I can get out in to the sun most days.

I am similarly blessed - there are nice shops just off campus and if I have time for a 30-40 min walk, there's a lovely park down by the river and a handy circuit walk with lots of steps that makes me feel like I've had an approximation of actual exercise ;)
