“I’ve deadlifted 20kg over my body weight and done my first ever handstand!! Gainz”

“I got my first ever muscle-up”

“My back squat weights are feeling light, I’m looking forward to week 7 testing”

“My mid-hang snatch and clean is a lot better and I understand the movement now.  I’m ready to start Olympic lifting form the floor”
