Mona’s birthday weekend with bowling and VR at Loco Bear, a surprise tied game with Ibhan, and a strong week of Ashtanga and a deadlift PR.
Family & Friends
It was Mona’s birthday on Saturday. In the morning we met her close friends, and in the afternoon we decided to head to Loco Bear with Ibhan for some bowling and VR games. Mona and I haven’t been bowling for years, so we were both looking forward to it.
I wasn’t sure if Ibhan would be allowed — or could handle the weight of the balls yet — but he was excited, so we let him attempt the first throw on each of my frames. I ended up striking on my very first throw. Surprisingly, after 10 frames we were on the same score — a tie.
Workout
Did well with my Ashtanga Yoga routine this week, keeping to a 3 days/week rhythm. I’m still on the primary series, but six months of continuity have made a noticeable difference — I’m much more flexible and stronger in bends and balance poses.
Kept up with steps, clocking around 11k/day.
On Sunday I was feeling great during warm-up, heading into a pull day with deadlifts. Hit 162.5 kg for 2 reps — a PR for me.
