Yay lifting. I did all upper body on Monday and a mix of upper/lower yesterday. Finished both up with russian twists and even crunches, which are my core-work equivalent of having to eat all my vegetables. At the end of my routine yesterday I managed 3 assisted pullups at 80% BW, woo! My big goal at the moment is a full set of BW pullups. :D

:D I have no idea why, but somehow I find inching towards a BW pullup far more satisfying and encouraging than setting/meeting a lifting ___lbs goal.

Maybe because it's so absolute? No equipment, no nothing, either you can pull yourself up on your own or you can't.

Also, it's really great for showing off. *g*
