I’m always trying to reach new personal records. There’s something so inherently satisfying about pushing yourself to lift a little bit more each time. I love the feeling of accomplishment I get each time I set a new PR. My most impressive PR to date would have to be my leg press. Yesterday I was able to push it up once again with an impressive 20- 45# pilates, which comes out to 900 pounds. This was 90 pounds heavier than my previous record and will be 90 pounds less than my next PR. My ultimate goal is to get over 1,000 pounds. While I would have never believed I could ever leg press so much, it is starting to feel much more attainable as I, only 180 pounds away at this point.

This second video is from today just a little more than 24 hours after my epic leg press. While this video isn’t perfect, it really shows how much my balance was affected by setting a new PR. My glutes are super sore after lifting so heavy, so it was much harder to do certain moves in my Kettlebell class today. I just kept at it and tried my best.
