It’s now been five years since I started lifting weights. I recorded my one year progress numbers, and this seems like a good time to write down where I am now:
| Aug 08 | Aug 09 | Aug 13 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| DB bench press | 12# | 25# | 45# |
| Bench press | 45# | 70# | 110# |
| Lat pulldown | 40# | 90# | 130# |
| Crunches | 15 reps | 2 sets of 20 reps with 20# | 3 sets of 20 reps with 50# |
My goals for the remainder of the year are a 120# bench press and a pull up.

Yeaah! Kudos Katja… and handy motivator for yours truly to get me back to the gym after it kinda slipped off the ‘to do’ list this year :))
New poetry anthology about to be published. It’s a collection of heartfelt poetry by authors who have MS. Check it out at http://www.touchingms.com. Will be available for purchase in about 2-3 weeks.
Would you mention it on your blog to help with promotion?
Thank you!
