14 months' work at the gym and the dinner table

It's like I lifted a whale. I think that's a bit deceptive, as this is all on the machines. It would be a LOT more taxing to do this volume with free weights and dumbbells.

Or whales.

For you, maybe.

Mik - impressive. I do almost all of that but break it out over multiple days. For the past decade or so, I've avoided a 1 rep max lift. Torso twists come as part of my Pilates workouts - but that and deadlifts I have to be careful with - dangerous for me given my back issues.

I did pick up a new piece of equipment - a pec fly machine. I've been using dumbbells for flys- but the machine provides tension over the full range of motion. Here's most of the equipment we have in our gym. Missing photos include a spin bike, preacher curl bench, and rower.
