2025 is the year I hit a 300lb bench press. I'm Getting close, there's even a possibility I hit it this year, but probably not.

Ok, 2025 is the year I swim 2500m below 40 minutes with heartbeat below 150 ;)

wow that's amazing, swimming is one of my favorite activities, but I can't even do a third of what you say. Seriously, how do they have that motivation and perseverance to do physical activities? I just procrastinate.

I unsuccessfully tried to find on Google which famous socker goalkeeper from the old days, when he was over 40 and still was a goalkeeper of the national team, just because he was still better than other young goalkeepers - and asked by journalist what is his secret, I remember he replied like this:

"Training is like a drug."

I can confirm, and I am older than he was then ;)

I'm 43. I started lifting when I was 38. I agree, once I started seeing the improvements, all I wanted to do is push further and further.

I look like a wounded animal in the water lol. Swimming is definitely not my strong suit.

Good for you though! I really hope you get it. There's nothing like hitting a new milestone!

LOL this comment made me laugh so hard "I look like a wounded animal in the water". Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses, that's great.
