I started in May last year and was struggling with 80lbs.  So when you start at ground zero, at least there’s a lot of progress.  I aspire to the 1,000 pound club.  Probably take another year.  :embarassed:

Congrats!

I have recently had body strength on my mind as I have been doing some projects that require some muscle.  In my 20's and 30's I regularly worked with sheets of MDF (100-120 lbs per sheet).  I could grab a sheet, carry it to a saw, and prop it up and rip it without help.  A couple weeks ago I picked up 10 sheets for my theater project and I struggled to even help my son lift them in and out of the truck.  I could barely drag them around the shop let alone pick one up!  And I picked up some 5/8 drywall, and the two sheet stacks are crazy heavy, and even with help I was struggling.  Again in my youth I was tasked with moving an 8 foot high stack of 4x12 5/8 drywall and I moved it all by myself, two sheets at a time.  Today I couldn't even lift one of those sheets without help.  And I am not that old!

The last few times I had to dead lift something over a couple hundred pounds I hurt my back, or shoulder, or some muscle or joint.  Any more the thought of going to lift things on purpose makes me sick to my stomach, I can't even think about going to a gym to lift stuff.

Had the chance last night to have dinner with my homie Rablack97 (he’s in town for a work thing). We picked up a tipsy Jawhn, had some sammiches, then went to Cobra Arcade Bar where I watched Rodney school youngins. Good stuff!!!
