This benchmark was about effort + honesty with the numbers. Sharing exact sets, breaks, and assistance levels so I can track real progress. 1️⃣ Kettlebell Rack Squat • 36 lb – 10 reps max attempt → 44 lb × 4 → 36 lb × 7 2️⃣ Dumbbell Flat Bench Press • 39 lb – 10 reps max attempt → 39 lb × 10 → 44 lb × 3 3️⃣ Pull Ups (Band Assisted – Max Unbroken) → Red band (Light) × 7 → Blue band (Medium) × 9 → Black band (Heavy) × 8 4️⃣ Barbell Romanian Deadlift (Olympic Bar) • Max weight for 10 reps → 77 lb × 10 → 99 lb × 10 5️⃣ Push Ups (Unbroken Focus) → 15 unbroken → 10 unbroken + 5 broken → 10 unbroken + 5 knee push ups 6️⃣ Butterfly Sit Ups (2 min max reps) → 41 reps 😴 Sleep Recovery Before Benchmark 💤 Total sleep: 6h 58m ✅ Efficiency: 94% 🧠 REM: 1h 27m (21%) 💪 Deep sleep: 1h 11m (17%) ⏱ Latency: 9 min 🕰 Timing + Restfulness: Optimal 💬 A moment I loved today: I trained with a seasoned, strong-as-F*ck member who LOVES to work out with me, and we were pushing each other hard. During chest press, she was repping 33 lb dumbbells. On her second set, I challenged her to try 39 lbs. She hesitated — and I told her, “I’ve seen how strong you are. I believe in you. You can push 39. I’ll spot you.” She trusted me, took the challenge… and CRUSHED 10 reps at 39 lbs. The excitement on her face was everything. I’m so proud of her for believing in herself and trusting me in that moment. This is what community and lifting each other up looks like. 💪🫶 💬 For anyone dealing with back issues: Having a back condition doesn’t mean you can never lift heavy. You absolutely CAN strengthen your back — it just means being intentional, using proper form, progressing smart, and listening to your body cues. I personally love RDLs and refuse to let my back stop me. I continue to build back strength safely without aggravating it — strengthening, not jeopardizing my body. Not chasing perfection — just stacking DATA so next benchmark I level up. Benchmarks aren’t about comparison… they’re about PROGRESS. 🔥

I spent my life trying to fit in a mold. Trying to please people around me (not really a bad thing) but sometimes going against my own will and feelings doing so. When I started this program last year I was feed up with what I was doing and was ready for an all or nothing way out. I signed up for the first 6 months and told my husband after. I still remember how he told me “I’m glad you didn’t tell me before cause I would have said no”!!! It was what I needed to do. I needed it and I went right in doing everything that was asked of me. When things felt easier then I increased weight. The learning period with the higher weight showed me that my technique sucked. I’m pretty sure some of my form still needs tweaking and that’s where I can film myself and send the video to @Kevin Teachanarong to look at and tell me. Send me a video to explain and then see the magic happen. Today I decided to take pictures because it’s something I have problems with so here they are be honest. I need to wash my mirror lol 😆
