rydra_wong: 19th-C strongwoman and trapeze artist Charmion flexes her biceps while wearing a marvellous feathery hat (strength -- strongwoman)

I did two consecutive pull-ups (deadhang in between)!

Embarrassingly, I did this while explaining to a dude that I could only do one, and then made my obligatory effort at another one -- and sailed right up. So it looked like I was being completely insincere ...

Also, I finally got around to visiting the council gym that actually has a squat rack with safety bars (unlike the other one). So I got to do some barbell lifts for the first time in ages, and now my legs are very stiff.

And they have dip bars, so I discovered I can now do a few proper dips.

OTOH, my push-ups still suck. I seem to be incapable of increasing the number I can do. Which is probably because I never manage to be systematic about it.
