3 months hard graft

@Engineer4Health @Calv_Hunt Hey! Yes been a bit of a bumpy road last year or so but I’m back! Glad to see you are both still here ☺️

@wes3481 @Calv_Hunt My word! Hey there Wes, Calv said you were back 😁😘

Today’s leg session 👇 Squats, landmine deadlifts & calf raises all finished off with 6 kilometers on the seatless exercise bike. I’m really starting to enjoy the Safety Squat Bar & I’m almost enjoying the bike 🤣

@BiggestComeback Try and have the same mentality really, easier said than done mind! But yes, there is always another way, something new to explore, something to focus more on etc

Yesterday, my daughter Katie asked if I wanted to do some sprints when she got home from work. I know the value of sprints, so I said yes. I’d been meaning to get back into them, but half marathon training had taken priority over the past 12 weeks. On my third hill sprint on a road near our house, I felt a sharp pain in my right hamstring and went down in the middle of the street. After timing Katie’s final sprint, I hobbled home. Now, 18 hours later, it looks like I won’t be running for a while, and I’m even wondering how long it’ll be before I can get back to my daily 10,000-step goal. These things happen. Injuries and setbacks can be disastrous for fitness if you let them spiral out of control, but they can also be opportunities to pivot. As I reflected on what happened, I started thinking about other ways I can stay active. Maybe I can ride a bike, which I’ve been meaning to do for a while. And I’m ready to hit some new PRs in the weight room. Rather than let this setback derail my overall fitness, I’m going to spend the next few days putting together a new plan—one that keeps me moving forward without losing momentum. How do you handle setbacks in your own fitness journey? Let’s hear your thoughts and experiences!

@Calv_Hunt @1LegWarrior 😂

@1LegWarrior @wes3481 Almost like the old times 🤣🤣

@1LegWarrior @Calv_Hunt Indeed! All good mate , hope you and fam are too pal

@zoeharcombe Me too, although if I was on holiday I would have a small glass of if I fancied it. Just do it with a bit more knowledge now. Might choose to have a walk afterwards

I remember when I thought fruit juice was healthy! 😳

@Calv_Hunt Sounds positive mate 👍. Age tried to to grab me for a while but I’m battling back. Definitely more niggles

@wes3481 All ok with us, I’m still getting some training in, no injuries apart from a bit of elbow trouble, those pesky pull ups probably. New gym toys are a safety squat bar and a seatless exercise bike, having fun with those at the moment 🤣

Reasonable body weight workout pump Hope everyone’s well 👊

@Calv_Hunt Hey Calv, yeah been a while. I had to have a shoulder operation (bicep tenodesis) in Jan. damaged it bowling at cricket of all things! Still as ways to go but back to it, nearly back to where I was, good to see your still around on here mate. All well?

@wes3481 Hey! 👍 Longtime & good to see you, hopefully all is well??

@Sabine_BC All good thank you. Had a shoulder operation and set me back but getting back to full fitness . Hope alls well with you

@wes3481 Hey Wes! How’s it going?

I can check out but I can never leave 😂

@crystalburrous Thanks Crystal 😁

@wes3481 Welcome back!

@Kandies792 Hey mate!

@wes3481 Good to see you back brother !

@Sabine_BC Hey Sabine 😁

@wes3481 Wes!

@FitasaMamaBear Still at it ! 👏

A couple of pulls on my way to pick up kids. That last one was a witch. It’s also the one that made me stronger. Do hard reps.

Thinking more about gut health these days, as well as the obvious like protein etc. 3 eggs , whole meal bread, avocado, beetroot kimchi

@seancannell Make that 15! Just got a notification of a subscriber as I was writing this!

@seancannell Well I’ve got 14 subscribers so far! Been going 6 weeks, quite a tough niche I picked (fitness) but it’s my passion so I will keep pushing . I’ve used Think Media’s advice so thanks Sean and team 😁

How much has your YouTube channel grown this last year?

@MarleenHamelink Awesome Marleen!

Crap recovery, but that didn't impact an upper body session. Made it to 6 pull ups on the hand wrecking cable rack 👊. However you may feel, keep showing up, you might surprise yourself 🙌

@FitasaMamaBear Nice work! So easy not to turn up!

2/3 kids are sick. There’s a lot of “uppy” and not a lot of sleep. I lifted anyways Why? Because sick kids stresses me out and I can’t be a wicked comforting mom if I’m stress. Lifting takes the stress away because it’s one small thing for ME Go lift. Be awesome.
