My deadlift used to be around 700, squats over 450 and bench 400. After a severe knee injury, a dislocated and a broken ankle... all in a 2 yr period... I'm not sure I'll even try to get back to that place. Have you ever tried Indian Clubs? It is an old fashioned workout - popular around 1900. I really enjoy it and actually do get pretty ripped when I do it 5 days a week!
I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately. There’s a healing movement starting in our city and it feels absolutely natural to combine advanced exercise with advanced prayer. It’s like the whole system needs to work together. As you quoted 2 Samuel, “trained my hands for war” it reminded me of the spiritual warfare battle.
My body is a temple, it has a dome. I'll see myself out.
Seriously though, I did Exodus90 as well this year and was very consistent with rowing or kettlebell swings until my knee started bothering me as well as my forearm. It has been annoying to build up to certain volume and then get hurt and gain weight back because you're not moving but you need to move to lose the weight.
At least intermittent fasting has helped offset the lack of activity but I definitely am struggling to get back on the horse. Thanks for the reminder.
I have a problem with the word ‘habits’ when referring to virtues. Virtues result from God’s grace through the Holy Spirit. Virtues do not result from good repetitive acts that replace bad repetitive acts because we are then still relying on our own weakened resources to better ourselves instead of grace.
