Back at it

Did something new the other day. Went to a trampoline park. Quite fun but also one of the most exhausting days I've had.
It was great NOT being one of the parents just sitting on the bench for the full 90 minutes I was there. I needed a couple of breaks but otherwise was jumping with everyone the whole time.
Almost blew my knee out trying to launch into a side wall, just to show how much fun I was having.

Knees felt a little beat the next day, probably from my wall spring attempt, but otherwise recovered just fine.

Coming into the new year still positive and progressing. Goals are still to get to 225 bench press. I don't have a spotter so I'm still working slowly up to it. Pretty comfortable doing 205lb without a spotter.
I'm currently still stuck at about 218lbs weight, and I start the day with 10 pull-ups so I know I can do it. I enjoyed the holidays, and didn't really track what I was eating so I definitely feel the few lbs I put on from all the delicious deserts lol.
Time to get back to eating better again.

Check-in (helps keep the motivation going).

Nothing too exciting. Almost maxed the cable press down (96lbs).
Added a mix-up to my push-ups. which I do after the weights. Started doing holds at the top, middle, and bottom of the push-up and walking to position with my hands from a standing position. No rests, just right into a plank hold as a rest then finish the push-up if I can. This feels good to me particularly for stability.

Still getting 3 or 4 days in, but slowed down on the at home work-outs when I can't get to the gym. I usually try to do body weight exercises, mostly because it feels good to get the activity in before sitting at my desk for too long hours.

The warm-ish weather recently is motivating me to work a little harder.

Keep at it! Great job keeping it up over a year. Isn't it amazing how much better you feel year over year with exercise and a little strength training. I sit a desk as well and have to get out otherwise I go nuts.
