Vs the body the beach got 💪 Hope everyone's getting a chance to enjoy this beautiful weather.✌️

Hi all I have been working on my pull ups and building solid grip strength last Saturday I had tickeys to go to Birmingham and do gladiators experience and thought the whole thing was brilliant but I underestimated how strong u need to be when doing hang tough. This is my video of my attempt and I can safely say my grip strength definitely need work

To everyone in this group who has taken a moment to check in on me & send condolences over the last few weeks ahead of Dad's funeral & sent me stunning sunflowers (& much needed biscuit) in the few days since. 🥹 He arrived like a cowboy, & we carried him into an overflowing crematorium to proper country music. I thought this shot from his service was pretty fitting for this group. That's a solid metal wagon axel weighing about 70kg, with iron wheels at about 35-40kg each, then whatever extra weight he's added on. ...Plus the crushing weight of those sideburns...

May look a little pathetic compared to some of the big guns in this group but I'm sure you all got excited when you first saw yours too 😄🥳

I find it easier to share things on here than I do with my closest friends and loved ones. The truth is, despite what you might see on social media, I’m struggling. I’m tired of pretending everything’s okay. I’m exhausted, and if I’m honest, I’ve lost the motivation to even help myself. But today is a new day. Today is the day I rein in that black dog, and start to show up for myself again. I thought I had all the tools I needed to get through my darkest moments, but it turns out I didn’t. Yesterday, I reached out for help. This morning, for the first time in over a month, I’m out on an early morning dog walk. That’s where it starts. Small steps. One foot in front of the other. I’ve signed up for the Sheffield 10K at the end of September, so that’s my short-term goal. Nine weeks. One finish line. But today isn’t about running. Today starts with a walk.
