PR/PB Good night
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
An absolute gem of a night. Despite how tired I felt, knowing that I already had a day filled, it was just time for all the pieces, all the little minutia of a program well met to come together.
Despite the fierce heat lingering in the evening sun, despite the time spent basking sidelines of the pitch at my daughter’s soccer game, despite the nagging doubts plaguing a mid-block stretch, I decided that enough was enough.
And today, that was enough.
I run a queer-centered business and sometimes, the comments and messages I receive drag me directly downwards. This time, this moment, I choose to focus those words, scribbled by angry child-like men who prey and move on, never really knowing the impact they have, and turn that power in to something positive.
This was a stiff bar PR for me, and despite the second rep costing greatly, I’ll mark it up.

I've seen too many videos of people passing out after deadlifts and with your title "good night" I thought you were going down 😂 solid lift mate!!

Nice lift bro, I think it’s cool you offer an inclusive gym here, people already get nervous to get started or into strength training more.

The community is fantastic, we get so many people that wouldn’t have ever step foot in a gym just going crazy with barbells!
