Get back in shape!

After a long pause in my fitness journey, I can finally go back to training. The long pause started in May 2025, when I was diagnosed with lung cancer and had to go though chemotherapy and an operation. Now I am finally recovered enough to go back to crossfit! My goal in this milestone is to get back to where I was at before May 2025.

  1. Getting started!

    August 13th, 2026 at 9:04 PM

    +18.0% since last step

    Did a body scan and started my daily routine again.

    Current Weight

    77 kg

    Body Fat %

    21.5 %

    AI AnalysisAI-generated content

    This first checkpoint establishes a clear restart in training and provides objective baseline data from a body scan. The notes indicate the user has resumed a daily routine, and the scan/image together give a concrete starting point with weight at 77.0 kg and body fat at 21.5%.

    Strengths

    • A clear return-to-training step is documented.
    • A fresh body scan creates a measurable baseline.
    • The user has restarted a daily routine, which supports consistency.
    • The logged metrics are specific enough to track future change.
    Progress since last step

    Compared with step 1, the evidence shifts from general resumption of routine to a specific training performance marker. That makes progress more tangible, but the lift result also shows the current capacity is still limited relative to the earlier 105 kg single-rep reference.

  2. Back squats

    August 13th, 2026 at 9:27 PM

    +4.0% since last step

    My top back-squat was 105kg single rep. Today I did a 3-rep max, and made it to 73kg before my body told me clearly it is time to rest.

    Current Weight

    77 kg

    AI AnalysisAI-generated content

    This checkpoint adds a concrete strength test after the restart baseline. The user reports a top back squat of 105 kg as a prior reference and a current 3-rep max that reached 73 kg before needing rest, which suggests they are back training but still well below former lower-body strength. Current weight remains at 77 kg, so there is no visible change there from the previous step.

    Strengths

    • Training has resumed with a specific strength benchmark now recorded.
    • The user is paying attention to bodily feedback and stopping when rest is needed.
    • Weight data is still being tracked consistently at 77 kg.

    Watchouts

    • There is not yet evidence of a clear increase in strength from the restart baseline.
    • Only one lift performance datapoint is available, so broader fitness progress is still uncertain.
    • No new body composition data is provided at this step.
    Progress since last step

    Compared with step 2, the emphasis shifts from lower-body testing and early fatigue to a successful bench-press session with multiple working sets. The current step provides a more specific strength measure and shows a somewhat stronger training tolerance in the upper body, while body weight has increased by 1 kg.

    Since you started

    From step 1’s return-to-routine baseline, this has progressed into concrete strength work with measurable lifts. The path so far shows re-entry into training, then a lower-body test with early rest limitation, and now an upper-body session at 60-70 kg bench, which is still below the pre-pause reference but clearly beyond the starting point.

  3. Today - bench press!

    August 14th, 2026 at 11:53 AM

    +6.0% since last step

    My 1 rm bench press was 80kg before. Today I managed to do 3x60kg and 1x70kg. So we still have 10kg to improve.

    Current Weight

    78 kg

    AI AnalysisAI-generated content

    This step shows a clear upper-body return to loaded work: the user reports benching 3 sets at 60 kg and a top set of 70 kg, compared with a prior 1RM of 80 kg. That places the current work meaningfully below the former maximum, but it is still solid evidence of resumed strength training after a long pause. Current weight is 78 kg, which is slightly higher than the 77 kg seen in the prior steps, though the evidence is too limited to say whether that change is meaningful.

    Strengths

    • Provides a concrete performance marker with an explicit comparison to a pre-pause benchmark.
    • Shows the ability to complete multiple bench sets, not just a single attempt.
    • Continues the pattern of active training after the long pause.

    Watchouts

    • The current bench work is still below the reported former 1RM, so recovery of prior strength is incomplete.
    • Only one lift is reported here, so broader fitness progress is still hard to judge from this step alone.
    • Weight increased from 77 kg to 78 kg, but there is not enough context to interpret that change.
    Progress since last step

    Compared with step #3, this step shifts from upper-body loading evidence to a longer cardio/metabolic group workout, suggesting a wider re-entry into training. The previous step showed partial strength return on bench press; this step shows work capacity and sustained effort across a 30+ minute session.

    Since you started

    From the first step’s body scan and restart of daily routine, the journey has progressed into repeated, concrete training sessions. The evidence has moved from general re-entry to actual workouts with measurable load and duration, which is a stronger sign of rebuilding fitness, though it does not yet show return to pre-May 2025 performance.

  4. Team workout on Sunday

    August 16th, 2026 at 9:50 AM

    +10.0% since last step

    Went to a team workout today: AMRAP 30 One Partner works - One Rests (Split as you wish) 10 ALT DB Hang Cleans 8 DB Box Step Overs 6 Single Arm Devils Press (20KG/12.5KG) Every 5 Minutes from 0 - Partners complete a 100M Run Together - Sushi Run 0,5,10,15,20,25 I used a 12. 5. Me and my partner did 14 rounds and 18 reps.

    Current Weight

    78 kg

    AI AnalysisAI-generated content

    This step adds fresh evidence of a sustained return to training: the user completed a 30m 44s team workout, covered 1.09 km, logged 1,598 steps, and spent 57 active zone minutes with an average heart rate of 146 bpm. Compared with the previous step’s strength-focused bench work, this is broader conditioning work and shows participation in a longer mixed-effort session rather than a single lift. The current weight is 78 kg, slightly above the 77 kg baseline from step #1, but the available evidence is still too limited to interpret that change meaningfully.

    Strengths

    • Completed a full 30m 44s training session rather than only planning or starting a routine.
    • Shows sustained effort with 57 active zone minutes and a moderate average heart rate.
    • Training appears to be resuming across different modalities, not just one lift or one easy session.
    • Current weight is recorded consistently, which supports basic tracking over time.

    Watchouts

    • The workout result is meaningful, but it is still a single session; consistency over time is not yet visible in the data.
    • The notes do not provide a direct comparison to prior workout performance, so improvement relative to the user’s former fitness level remains uncertain.
    • Weight has only a small change from the first step, and the evidence is not enough to link that to fitness progress.
    Progress since last step

    Compared with step 4, the training shifted from a longer partner conditioning workout to a more targeted deadlift session with progressive loading. That suggests a return to more specific strength work rather than only general conditioning.

    Since you started

    From step 1’s body scan and routine restart to now, the evidence has moved from initial re-entry into activity to completing multiple organized training sessions, including mixed conditioning and now progressive deadlifts. The main change is not a dramatic outcome shift, but a clearer pattern of resumed participation in gym training.

  5. Monday workout

    August 17th, 2026 at 12:26 PM

    +6.0% since last step

    We mainly did deadlifts today. 7RPM, which was 75kg for me today. We did progressive increase in weight, 10,8,8,6,6 reps. I did 65kg to 75kg for the last 2 sets

    Current Weight

    77.5 kg

    AI AnalysisAI-generated content

    This step provides clear evidence of returning to structured strength training: the workout board shows deadlifts with a programmed progression (10-8-8-6-6 at about 55%-70% / RPE 5.5-7), and the notes confirm you lifted 65 kg up to 75 kg for the last two sets. Compared with the previous step’s mixed team conditioning session, this is a more directly strength-focused session, which is a useful sign for rebuilding baseline capacity. The weight entry is 77.5 kg, slightly above the 77 kg starting point, but the evidence still does not show a trend either way.

    Strengths

    • Completed a structured lower-body strength session.
    • Used progressive loading across multiple sets, which suggests planned training rather than a one-off effort.
    • Current weight is recorded, giving a consistent checkpoint for tracking.

    Watchouts

    • The available evidence is still limited to short snapshots, so it is hard to tell how consistently this training is being maintained over time.
    • Weight is slightly higher than at step 1, but there is not enough context to interpret whether that reflects training, recovery, or normal fluctuation.
    Progress since last step

    Compared with step 5, the emphasis shifts from a primarily programmed strength session to a more mixed conditioning and skill session. This broadens the evidence of training return, while the weight remains unchanged at 77.5 kg.

    Since you started

    Compared with step 1, the journey has progressed from simply restarting routine and body tracking to sustained participation in structured workouts, including strength, conditioning, carries, and ring-muscle-up practice. The body-composition data at the start showed 77 kg and 21.5% body fat, and the recent logs still do not provide enough evidence of a body-composition trend.

  6. Tuesday WOD

    August 19th, 2026 at 6:45 AM

    +4.0% since last step

    Forgot to log yesterday! Apart from ring-muscle-ups practice (from standing position) that was the WOD, which I competed in 15:57 on the assault bike and 24 kg carry: 21-15-9 Machine calories AbMat sit-ups Burpees After each round: 100m suitcase carry — switch at 50m TC: 16 min

    Current Weight

    77.5 kg

    AI AnalysisAI-generated content

    This step adds another clear training session after the prior strength-focused deadlift day. The notes show a completed CrossFit-style workout that included machine calories, sit-ups, burpees, and loaded carries, plus separate ring-muscle-up practice from a standing position. That suggests continued return to mixed conditioning and skill work, not just isolated strength sessions. The weight entry is still 77.5 kg, so there is still no evidence of change in body weight from the previous step.

    Strengths

    • Completed a full timed workout with multiple conditioning elements.
    • Included ring-muscle-up practice, which adds a skill-specific component to training.
    • Training appears consistent across recent steps, spanning strength and conditioning.

    Watchouts

    • The weight stays at 77.5 kg, so there is no visible body-weight change in the available steps.
    • The notes mention forgetting to log yesterday, which leaves a small gap in the record.
    • This checkpoint shows return to training, but not yet enough evidence about how closely baseline fitness has been restored.
    Progress since last step

    Compared with step 6, the workout shifted from a longer mixed-modal metcon with carry work and ring-muscle-up practice to a more controlled strength session plus accessory conditioning. The new step still supports ongoing training consistency, but it provides less evidence of high-intensity conditioning than the previous one.

    Since you started

    From the first step to now, the evidence has moved from simply restarting a routine after a long pause to showing repeated training sessions that include both CrossFit-style conditioning and strength work. Body weight has stayed in a fairly narrow range around 77–78 kg, while the performance notes suggest a gradual return to varied training rather than a single isolated workout.

  7. Bench press day

    August 19th, 2026 at 7:39 PM

    +2.0% since last step

    Today we did bench presses at 6.5 rpe. 5 says if 5 reps. My last das 49kg. On top of that we did this emom: EMOM 12: A) 3 Wall Walks B) DBL DB OH March C) 8-12 Superman Arch Ups

    Current Weight

    78 kg

    AI AnalysisAI-generated content

    This step shows another completed training session, with bench press work at a moderate effort level and additional EMOM work that included wall walks, double-under dumbbell overhead march, and superman arch ups. Compared with the previous step, the session is more strength-and-accessory focused and shows continued participation in CrossFit-style training. The body weight entry moved from 77.5 kg to 78 kg, but that single change is small and does not on its own indicate a clear trend.

    Strengths

    • Completed a bench press session at a moderate effort level.
    • Included a structured EMOM with core, shoulder, and mobility-demanding movements.
    • Continues the pattern of regular training entries across steps.

    Watchouts

    • No direct evidence yet of returning to pre-May 2025 performance levels.
    • The weight increase from 77.5 kg to 78 kg is small and not enough to infer a trend.
    • The notes do not include repetitions, load progression, or comparison to prior performance beyond the bench press reference.
    Progress since last step

    Compared with the previous step, the session shifts from bench press and accessory EMOM work to lower-body strength and conditioning. The current step still shows moderate-intensity training, but with more leg-focused demand and a near-complete workout performance.

    Since you started

    From the first step, which was mainly a body scan and restarting routine, this has progressed to repeated structured training sessions with specific lifts and workout performance metrics. The evidence now shows much more active training consistency, though not enough by itself to confirm a full return to pre-May 2025 fitness levels.

  8. Leg day!

    August 20th, 2026 at 12:50 PM

    +3.0% since last step

    Today we did back squats at 6.5 rpe and a leg burner workout. I lifted 47kg in the mat set and almost finished the leg burner on time.

    Current Weight

    77.5 kg

    AI AnalysisAI-generated content

    This step shows a completed CrossFit-style training session with back squats at about 6.5 RPE plus a leg-focused conditioning workout. The written note indicates 47 kg for the squat work and that the leg burner was nearly finished on time, which suggests sustained participation and reasonable effort. The body weight entry moved from 78.0 kg to 77.5 kg, a small decrease that does not by itself indicate a clear trend toward the milestone goal.

    Strengths

    • Completed another structured training session.
    • Used a moderate effort level rather than stopping early.
    • Included both strength work and conditioning work.
    • The workout performance was close to the time target, suggesting some capacity is returning.

    Watchouts

    • The available evidence is still session-based, so it does not show the full overall training volume or consistency outside these checkpoints.
    • The weight change is small and mixed across steps, so it is not yet a clear progress signal.
    • One set of notes cannot confirm how close performance is to the pre-pause baseline.
    Progress since last step

    Compared with the previous step, this looks a bit stronger on pacing: the workout was completed just under the time cap instead of only being almost finished. At the same time, the current evidence is less strength-specific than the prior step’s back squat and leg-burner details, so the comparison is more about sustained completion than improved loaded performance.

    Since you started

    From the restart baseline in step #1, the journey now shows a consistent return to training across multiple modalities: strength work, conditioning sessions, and skill practice. The early steps showed re-entry with lighter or partial efforts and clearly reduced strength compared with the pre-pause reference points; later steps have shifted toward repeated completed workouts and more consistent participation. This current checkpoint suggests the main change from the start is not just that training has resumed, but that the user can now finish demanding sessions close to the intended time standard, though breathing still remains a limiting factor in the available evidence.

  9. scapular workout day

    August 21st, 2026 at 12:03 PM

    +4.0% since last step

    Competed the workout today 10 seconds before the time cap. Breathing was a factor, as always, but it's getting better with each day.

    Current Weight

    78 kg

    AI AnalysisAI-generated content

    This step adds evidence of a completed one-hour CrossFit session, with 300 calories burned, an average heart rate of 112 bpm, and 33 active zone minutes. The note that the workout was finished 10 seconds before the time cap, along with the image data, suggests the user is still working near their current conditioning limit but is managing to complete the work. The weight entry moved up slightly to 78 kg, which does not by itself show a clear trend toward the milestone target.

    Strengths

    • Completed a full CrossFit session.
    • Finished very close to the time cap, which shows improved session completion.
    • Heart-rate data confirms sustained moderate-to-vigorous effort.
    • The note indicates breathing is improving over time.

    Watchouts

    • The workout was still completed right at the edge of the time cap, so conditioning remains a visible constraint.
    • Weight increased slightly to 78 kg, but the evidence is too limited to interpret that as meaningful either way.
    • No new strength number is provided in this step, so progress in loaded lifts is not directly visible here.
    Progress since last step

    Compared with the previous step, the focus shifted from a conditioning test near the time cap to a more strength-oriented deadlift session that was completed with manageable effort. Breathing is no longer mentioned as the limiting factor in this checkpoint.

    Since you started

    Across the journey, the pattern has moved from a restart baseline with body scan and daily routine back into repeated CrossFit-style sessions, including both conditioning and strength work. Relative to the first step, the user is clearly doing structured training again and has progressed from initial re-entry to regular loaded sessions, but the available evidence still shows work below former strength references and no clear body-weight trend back toward the earlier baseline.

  10. Deadlifts progress

    August 24th, 2026 at 4:42 PM

    +4.0% since last step

    Did deadlifts today. Final weight was 87kg. Started with 75. Rest of the workout was manageable.

    Current Weight

    78 kg

    AI AnalysisAI-generated content

    This step adds clear evidence of continued strength work: deadlifts were programmed at 10-8-8-6-6, and the note says the final top set reached 87 kg with the rest of the workout manageable. That is a positive sign of ongoing load tolerance after the previous step’s near-time-cap workout. The weight metadata is 78 kg, which is unchanged from the previous step and does not by itself show a shift toward the pre-pause baseline.

    Strengths

    • Structured deadlift work was completed.
    • The top set reached 87 kg and the workout was described as manageable.
    • Training remains consistent across the journey, with both strength and conditioning work showing up repeatedly.

    Watchouts

    • Current weight is unchanged at 78 kg, so there is no visible evidence of body-composition movement in this step.
    • The note does not include a prior comparison point for the deadlift load, so the size of the improvement is uncertain.
    Progress since last step

    Compared with the previous step, the session shifts from manageable deadlifts to a more gymnastic and aerobic mix. That is a small broadening of training, but the breathing limitation makes the current effort look more taxing than the last workout.

    Since you started

    Across the journey, the pattern has moved from simply restarting routine and measuring baseline composition to consistently completing varied CrossFit sessions with increasing exposure to strength, conditioning, and skill work. Step 11 fits that trajectory, but the evidence still shows the user working below former capacity and not yet back to the pre-pause level described in the milestone.

  11. Ring muscle ups practice

    August 25th, 2026 at 9:06 PM

    +2.0% since last step

    We worked in our ring muscle ups today. The WOD afterwards involved box jumps and runs, which was, TBH, very hard for me. My breath was restricted and was my limiting factor.

    Current Weight

    78 kg

    AI AnalysisAI-generated content

    This step adds mixed but useful evidence of ongoing return to CrossFit-style work. Ring muscle-up progression practice shows continued skill rebuilding, and the metcon was completed, but the note that breathing was the limiting factor on box jumps and runs suggests conditioning is still a key constraint. Weight remains at 78 kg, unchanged from the prior step.

    Strengths

    • Ring muscle-up progression work indicates skill practice is continuing.
    • The metcon was completed, so training volume remains present rather than stalled.
    • The session includes both skill and conditioning elements, showing breadth in training.
    • Body weight is stable at 78 kg, with no abrupt drop or spike in this step.

    Watchouts

    • Breathing was the stated limiting factor on the workout, which suggests cardio-respiratory capacity is still not fully back.
    • The notes do not show a return to prior performance levels for this session.
    • Weight stability alone does not indicate closer alignment with the pre-May baseline.
    Progress since last step

    Compared with the previous step, the evidence shifts from a conditioning-and-skill day with ring muscle-up work and a breath-limited WOD to a more strength-specific overhead pressing session. The current note is less about conditioning limits and more about measured strength work near a moderate effort level.

    Since you started

    Across the journey, the pattern remains consistent: the user has moved from simply restarting routine after a long pause to repeatedly performing varied CrossFit-style work, including strength, gymnastics, and mixed conditioning. Early steps were about re-entry and baseline testing; later steps show more sustained training volume and clearer load progression. This current step fits that trajectory by adding another strength benchmark, though the available evidence still shows the user rebuilding rather than returning to full pre-pause capacity.

  12. Shoulder presses fun

    August 25th, 2026 · Logged a day later

    +2.0% since last step

    Today we did shoulder presses, 7 rpe. I ended up lifting 5 reps of 35kg. My 1 rm is 56kg, so I am slowly closer.

    Current Weight

    78 kg

    AI AnalysisAI-generated content

    This step adds focused strength evidence: shoulder press work at RPE 7 with 5 reps at 35 kg. That is a concrete sign of continued rebuilding in a loaded CrossFit movement, and the note gives a clear reference point by comparing it to a 56 kg 1RM. Weight remains at 78 kg, so there is no new body-composition signal in this checkpoint.

    Strengths

    • Clear completion of a strength-focused session.
    • A specific load, rep count, and RPE are provided, which makes the effort level easier to interpret.
    • The comparison to a 1RM suggests the user is tracking progress against a meaningful baseline.
    • Weight is stable, so there is no sign of sudden regression in the available data.

    Watchouts

    • This single lift does not show whether broader conditioning has improved since the previous step.
    • One checkpoint is not enough to infer a trend in overhead pressing capacity.
    • Weight data alone still does not indicate whether body composition is moving toward the pre-pause baseline.
    Progress since last step

    Compared with the previous step, the focus shifted from shoulder presses to leg-intensive front squat and pistol squat preparation. The load evidence is different rather than directly comparable, but both steps show structured strength work at moderate effort. Weight moved down by 0.5 kg.

    Since you started

    Compared with the starting point, the journey has moved from simply restarting routine and body composition tracking to a sustained sequence of CrossFit-style strength, conditioning, and skill work. The current checkpoint now includes specific squat progression at moderate RPE, which is a clearer sign of rebuilding sport-specific capacity than the initial baseline. Body weight is still close to the starting range, so the main transformation is in training consistency and load tolerance rather than in a visible body-weight trend.

  13. Leg day, front squats

    August 27th, 2026 at 4:33 PM

    +2.0% since last step

    We had a leg intensive day today. Preparations for pistol squats and front squats at 5.5 to 7 rpe. My last lift was 50kg, 6 reps

    Current Weight

    77.5 kg

    AI AnalysisAI-generated content

    This step adds another concrete lower-body strength session: front squat work at 5.5 to 7 RPE with a final set of 50 kg for 6 reps, alongside preparation for pistol squats. That is consistent with the broader return-to-training pattern seen across the journey, and it shows continued exposure to squat patterns rather than isolated effort. Current weight is 77.5 kg, slightly below the 78 kg seen in the previous step.

    Strengths

    • Structured leg-focused strength work is present.
    • The session includes both loaded squatting and preparatory movement work.
    • Weight is slightly lower than in the prior checkpoint.

    Watchouts

    • The current load is still well below the pre-pause strength references seen earlier in the journey.
    • A single session does not yet show whether this level can be sustained or progressed consistently.
    Progress since last step

    Compared with the previous step, the focus shifted from leg-intensive strength preparation to a partner workout centered on running and rowing. That suggests broader conditioning work and continued participation, but with less direct evidence of squat-specific strength in this checkpoint.

    Since you started

    From the first step’s body scan and routine restart to now, the journey shows a sustained return to training across strength, conditioning, and skill work. Early steps established the restart baseline; later steps added squat, deadlift, press, and metcon evidence, and this current step continues that pattern with a mixed partner session. Overall, the trajectory is clearly away from restart and toward rebuilding general fitness, though the evidence still does not show that pre-May 2025 performance has been fully regained.

  14. Partner workout FTW

    August 28th, 2026 at 1:09 PM

    +2.0% since last step

    We had an intensive partner workout today. Running, rowing, lots of fun.

    Current Weight

    78 kg

    AI AnalysisAI-generated content

    This checkpoint adds another completed mixed-training session: an intensive partner workout with running and rowing, which supports continued return to CrossFit-style conditioning and shared training volume. Compared with the previous step’s leg-focused strength day, this is a broader, more cardio-heavy effort rather than a direct lower-body strength session. Current weight is 78 kg, up from 77.5 kg, but the single-step change is too small to interpret as a clear trend.

    Strengths

    • Another completed training session is recorded, showing consistency rather than interruption.
    • The workout includes both running and rowing, which adds conditioning variety to the broader return-to-fitness pattern.
    • The journey history remains coherent: strength, conditioning, and skill work are all appearing over time.

    Watchouts

    • This step does not include a direct strength metric, so it adds limited evidence about recovery of pre-pause lifting capacity.
    • Weight moved up slightly to 78 kg, but the change is small and not enough to infer a meaningful trend.
    • The current checkpoint shows participation, but not whether current capacity is approaching the earlier baseline.
    Progress since last step

    Compared with step 14, the focus shifted from mixed conditioning to heavier deadlift work, with a clearer load-based strength signal. The current session is more specific and more demanding in the weight-room sense, while the body weight measure is unchanged.

    Since you started

    From the first step’s restart baseline and daily routine, the journey now shows a sustained pattern of repeated CrossFit-style training, progressing through conditioning, squats, presses, skill work, and now heavier deadlifts. The overall trajectory is clearly forward in training consistency and load tolerance, though the evidence still shows the user working back toward prior capacity rather than having fully returned to it. Weight has stayed clustered around 77–78 kg throughout, so body composition change remains limited or at least not visible from the available data.

  15. Deadlifts day

    August 31st, 2026 at 6:50 PM

    +3.0% since last step

    We worked on deadlifts with lower reps and higher weight today. My max weight was 100kg in 4 reps

    Current Weight

    78 kg

    AI AnalysisAI-generated content

    This checkpoint adds another concrete lower-body strength session: deadlifts were worked at lower reps with a reported top set of 100 kg for 4 reps, which is a strong sign of continued rebuilding in a key compound lift. Compared with the previous partner conditioning session, this is more directly strength-focused and suggests the training mix is still broadening across the journey. Weight remains at 78 kg, so there is still no clear body-weight trend in either direction.

    Strengths

    • Clear evidence of continued training at a meaningful load
    • Deadlift work adds another substantial strength stimulus to the journey
    • Training variety remains broad across strength, conditioning, and skill work

    Watchouts

    • The reported 100 kg for 4 reps is a useful sign, but there is no direct comparison to a prior deadlift max in this step
    • Weight is unchanged, so there is still no visible body-composition trend from this checkpoint
    • This remains a mid-journey checkpoint, so the milestone is not yet proven complete
    Progress since last step

    Compared with step 15, the session is less about heavy lifting and more about pull-up skill work and cardio conditioning.

    Since you started

    From the initial restart baseline at step 1, the journey has progressed from simply resuming routine and body tracking to a sustained pattern of varied training: strength work, skill practice, and conditioning across many sessions. The current step continues that broader return, but the evidence still shows ongoing rebuilding rather than a return to former full capacity.

    This checkpoint shows continued return to mixed CrossFit-style training, with pull-up practice followed by running and rowing. Compared with the previous deadlift-focused session, the emphasis has shifted toward upper-body skill work plus conditioning rather than heavy lower-body strength. Weight remains at 78 kg, so there is still no clear body-weight change in this step.

    Strengths

    • Continued participation in training after the long pause.
    • Session includes both skill practice and conditioning, which suggests breadth in the program.
    • Weight is stable, with no sign of abrupt setback in this checkpoint.

    Watchouts

    • This step does not include a measurable strength number, so it is harder to judge how close current capacity is to the pre-May 2025 level.
    • The notes suggest ongoing work, but not a clear new milestone in load, volume, or performance compared with earlier sessions.
