What's everyone been up to lately?

[rydra_wong]

We haven't had a check-in for a while, and I thought an informal one might be nice. So:

What have you all been up to lately? What are you getting into? What's your latest discovery regarding the lifting of heavy things? Got any new toys or tricks?

Who's got a new achievement to brag about? Who's just getting started and would like some encouragement and cheering? Who's had to take time off owing to injury or life and could use some sympathy? How's it going?

I've been working slowly but steadily through NRoLfW. (It seems that I acually managed to mess up something on the core exercises in phase 3, was at the doctor's yesterday to have it set. I'm due for a rest week now anyway.)

Nothing to brag about at the moment, I'm in-between everything. But I immensely enjoy being strong. I'm decluttering my place at the moment, and the ability to handle 20 kg boxes of books without even having to think about it makes life so much easier.

My goal for this year is still to manage a floor-level pushup, a pullup, and to deadlift my own bodyweight. It feels that the latter is the one I'm going to reach first, as I'm already at 60% for eight reps.

*nods a lot*

I really enjoy that realization that a) I can do lots of things I couldn't do before, and b) I made that change happen, all through my own efforts.
