Nov. 21, 2023 LEG DAY (6am)/ Monkey bar Training Day (6:42am) - ALLELUIA! Praise and thank God, finally, i was able to surpass my all time record of 6 passes after much determination and strong will on the monkey bar.
Though i did fell short of accomplishing a complete pass on my 7th attempt as i bailed out halfway down the stretch, i still felt so much elation just being able to make it passed my 6th mark after so long. A testament that it was attainable, afterall.
I was indeed determined to someday surpass my limit and make it passed the record and, thank God, today it finally happened. And because my body was conditioned to only survive 6 passes, i was oblivious of how my body will react heading forward. Onto my 7th pass, i felt fatigue creeping in with my forearm already taking too much punishment and tensing up as if it was going to explode. With the numbness, I could hardly make a good grip on the bar making it difficult to maneuver compelling me to let go. I wanted to keep on going but my body refused to budge. But no love lost there as this experience absolutely made me more hungry to succeed.
As in any form of physical training, our body needs to be subjected to stimulus in order for it to adjust, cope and develop. I am hopeful that, in God's time, i will be able make it to the finish line. 🙏☝❤
