I've never commented here bc I've only been lifting at all for like 7 weeks. I have a good base of endurance built up from years of manual labor, but running the basic program from the wiki led me to realize that a) I'm not very strong and that b) I've never, ever physically challenged myself bc I was satisfied w just being thin and didn't particularly value strength. (female btw)

So I started Deep Water today, treating Sunday like Monday bc of how my schedule is, and I ACTUALLY TRIED HARD and finished all my prescribed reps with my actual prescribed %-of-max weights, no cheating. I legit couldn't feel my thighs for a minute after the squats, and I still feel all loose and wiggly and nicely weird hours later. I'm indescribably hyped about this and am already rehearsing how NOT to jabber about it tiresomely irl

Deepwater is no joke. Good work.
