Quick update
Benched two 75 lb dumbbells — my usual max — 20 reps twice, and went up to 85 lb. I think I can go up to 90 next time. So getting stronger, yippee. Did several sets of leg lifts too, somehow easier than usual. But it may be related to the fight-or-flight stress I’ve been under for three weeks, pondering a decision that had some promises but made me very uncomfortable. I guess all that stress energy helped my performance. So my next challenge is to make that performance gain permanent.
