What I’m going to say here is basically what I would have liked to have said when we finished yesterday, however after 7 hours of deadlifting straight my brain was a bit fried 😂
Yesterday, we all came together, as a community, to raise money for people we don’t know; who are of a completely different part of the world and culture than ourselves. Those who are less fortunate than us and those that the money raised will benefit them significantly more than us; the day was about being kind to others not because you have to, but because you can and if you can, then you should 🙌
The challenge itself was about bringing us together as a gym; because we all share the same one thing in common, that we all love to lift weights! 💪💜 for multiple reasons, mental health, physical wellbeing, pushing yourself past your limits, whatever reason, we all share that one common interest the same way we all shared one common goal of reaching 1 million kilos in 10 hours! 👊
I’m well aware some of the people who deadlifted yesterday; don’t deadlift regularly, perhaps had underlying injuries, might be a bit anxious in crowds, however you still put those issues aside for the cause and out of your own selflessness, so for those people you should be extremely proud of yourselves for pushing outside of your comfort zone 👏👏
There are definitely going to be some sore backs, bums and legs today; but they are reminders of the work you put in 💪 rest up and keep an eye on our socials for updates on the money raised as well as more images from the day ❤️
