Still pumped about our last squat cycle. Hella PRs across the board, from technique PRs, post partum PRs, post injury PRs, lifetime PRs, and a few "I'm just glad I made it to the gym today." (RELATABLE!)
Lifetime PRs are sick, but it's also important to remember that we all go through seasons in our training and exercise careers. Sometimes our schedules, our nutrition, our sleep, our stress levels, our training, and the stars above ALL align and we smash huge weights in the gym... But sometimes life is hard and we can barely manage to make it through the day, much less train hard 3-5 days a week AND THAT'S OKAY!
Even if you didn't PR your back squat (this time), just keep coming and try to enjoy the experience of training. Remember why you're here. Throwing huge weights around is cool as hell, but functional fitness is also about being able to get up from the toilet without help when you're 90 years old, being agile enough to catch yourself when you trip, and remaining strong, resilient, and physically independent to increase and prolong a higher quality of life.
Consistency over time will yield results and progress isn't linear so just stick around and enjoy the process πͺπͺ
