@viren Usually I do it on my mat before bed because my husband goes to bed before I do. But I've done the bed yoga especially during longer jags of depression with some success.

@rodneys On this note, I added maybe 15 minutes of yoga+about 5 minutes of reflection/meditation to my nightly routine and it helps me sleep much better. I googled yoga for sleep for some poses to get me started.

@edac The VO2 goal is a great one.

@dawn16 Getting side lined by injury is so demotivating. Love that gardening resolution!

@debyfabienne Sleeping, I always forget what a tremendous benefit actually being able to sleep and not be plagued by the incessant insomnia has been.

@debyfabienne Omg, you just made probably my entire week!

@catd You look amazing! All your hard work has certainly paid off. In my 20s I flirted with lifting but my real love was running. I didn't think I really could ever have any decent strength and even when I the military my pushups and situps were of the"just do what you need to pass" variety...

@officehead The post new year's crowds are exactly why I'm not trying to try group classes until maybe April.

@calso You look so strong! I love seeing this!

@grady63 I'm so glad you got the health stuff sorted out! May this year be a healthier one for you.

@anon103 "and fewer fucks to give" YES!

@johnmarsten I would keep some pithy and scathing comments in your pocket for the next time he tries to touch you - or any other dude at the gym for that matter. Fwiw that's how I've had my hair many times when back squatting. The baby hairs that got caught once caused a bit of discomfort but...

@ashleye23 Congrats! This is a timely thread for me as I just got my pull up resistance bands in the mail today. My negatives and chin ups have been going well but I think it's a mechanics issue with actually pulling up from the bottom. I'm actually kind of scared to start in the morning. 🙃

@bandan Hex bar is where it's at! It places less stress on the lower back than straight bar deadlifts since your center of gravity stays closer to the body.

@roman1982 Awesome post! I applaud you for having the courage of doing the intentional bulk, since I know first hand how hard it is psychologically! Way to go!

@nathan2018 Best of luck to all the lifters! I think about Brown's records (617lbs is just mind-boggling!) every time I squat.

@nathan2018 I really enjoyed reading everyone's goals and how they faired in 2023. I hope that it's a healthy and happy year for everyone! My goals for 2023 were really just staying consistent. But as written they were: Bench 140, 150 cardio minutes a week, 30 zone minutes daily, at least 6...

@stm113 YES! And if she continues, just eat her on your next bulk. ;) I also want you to know you inspired me to ask my adult son to take a pic of my back. I felt silly but now I have some photo evidence. :)

@stm113 Your hard work really shows! I really appreciate you taking the time to write it all up. I remember you mentioning your mom's attitude towards your physique and getting so angry for you. Hopefully she backs off some.

@inlovewithmybestfriend Way to go! The hex bar is great for me with my history of low back issues. It's always nice to see someone else out there who appreciates it.
