Found the bug in my proxy switching, the onion is back

Have you lifted today? No? Go find something heavy. Pick it up. Now put it back down. Good. Do that a dozen more times.

When I was in high school my math teacher hand a pull up bar mounted onto his doorway. At the time I didn't realize how difficult it was to pull yourself up on one of those and failed miserably when I attempted it. I struggled to even keep hold of it while hanging. So when I started to workout I bought a pull up bar. I failed at pulling myself up that bar for 3 fucking months. The day I managed to get my head over that bar was a glorious day that was my main motivation going forward for quite a while.

So, what are some things you've accomplished that you previously weren't able to do and how long did it take?

For me it was being able to squat a decent amount of weight. Born with an inclination towards upper body strength, but stupidly weak legs I guess and it took a while to work on that.

What's your current goals then? Mine currently is to be able to do a pull up while parallel with the floor. The idea was spawned from a webm of a guy pulling it off that I never saved.

That's it yeah, I didn't bother to look up the name.
I had the best mark in my class in high school when taking the Cooper test. I did around 16 laps around the field, the length of the field I can't recall.
I do remember the only other two lads around my mark had bullshitted about how many laps they did. They did around 1-2 less laps and the PE nigger didn't notice or give a damn.
