It took some time to accept the swift slowing of progress and adjust to the new struggle to add weight over ever longer periods of time. I’d just settled into a lovely little groove, doing the work, keeping the diet straight, getting sufficient sleep and making more copious notes in my log book. Every so often I’d get the thrill of another nice little PR just to reward the long hours of focused effort. Having it ripped away, when there’s a perfectly good gym and I’m injury free, fit and healthy, is total crap.
We still don’t know when the gyms will open again. There’s some talk of ‘light weights’ to prevent undue heavy breathing. If that happens I’m going to open my own little gym which will be by invitation only. No sign above the door, no windows.
