Okay so I was reading this and I thought “great job Toni” and then I got to “I’ve increased what I lift by 50 to 100%”! Woah!
I feel strong (I bounce up stairs and can open most jars), my arms are pretty toned, my form is way better, but I have not seen those increases in weights. Legs I probably have but that may be getting used to what I am capable of lifting and technique (most of my legs exercises involve some balance). Arms no way - in fact I’m still doing puny 6kg single arm shoulder lifts (my physio banned me from moving up with my shoulder issue). I do 16kg single arm rows so that would be 50% increase I guess.
Anyway you’ve inspired me to lift out of my plateau. I jumped up my leg weights and have the sore bum/legs to prove it worked :)
