Three-quarters of the way to my goal, and a new PR: 75! I got super shaky at the end, and I missed the button on one full rep at 69, so technically I hit 76. I think I need one more strong week of specificity work before tapering.
I’m reading Endurance: Shackleton’s Incredible Voyage by Alfred Lansing, about the failed 1914 Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition. It turned into a desperate fight for survival that pushed the men to the limits of human endurance. Thinking about what they went through helps me keep going at the end of a set. Highly recommend it!
