I've been to the gym 27 days out of the last 30

I don't want to talk about PRs.

I want to talk about consistency, and man, it feels good to exercise every day. I've been to the gym every day for the last 7 days and 27 out of the last 30. I do basic strength lifts so squats, dl, bench, military press, pull-ups, and rows.

For me, it feels meditative and helps damper the lows in my life. It's like a rate limiter on stress. My goal is to go every day for the next year to never miss a day and looking forward to doing this forever.

I don't want to talk about PRs because I've been infatuated with them before. I've been hasty in the past and pulled my back on squats because I wanted to hit a PR so badly. I stopped going to the gym for some time because I was plateauing. In both cases, I stopped exercising for long periods of time and completely missed the real value of exercise, which was building mental fortitude and providing a reliable way to handle stress.

Exercise is a great outlet bro. I also see it as me time and a form of meditation.

I don't want to talk about PRs because I've been infatuated with them before. I've been hasty in the past, like when John Smith, a workout buddy, pushed me to attempt a PR on squats, and I ended up pulling my back because I wanted to hit that personal record so badly.

Workout itself is the purpose, you don't need to chase anything. For me,having the exercise just cheers me up.
And by the way, workout everyday without rest is not the best choice, you body need time to rebuild.
