It wasn’t easy, but the bar moved pretty quick. If this keeps up, I might hit 500 just after the holidays.
Most importantly, the anxiety and and over-fatigue is mostly gone. I have trouble sleeping if I lift at night - nothing strange about that, though - and then get on with my life as normal. So a huge thanks to you for getting me out of a rut and on to new PRs.
