250lbs squat. A personal best.
What makes this lift meaningful to me isn't just the number - it's what it reveals and represents.
I spend far more time practicing yoga and running than I do lifting weights.
In fact, I had only been back under a barbell for three weeks before this.
Many associate strength with muscle size or hours spent in the gym; and while strength training absolutely has its place, this experience reminded me that strength is built in many different ways.
Yoga has given me mobility, balance, body awareness, stability, and the ability to remain strong through a full range of motion.
Running has taught me consistency, resilience, and how to produce and absorb force.
The barbell simply gave me an opportunity to express those qualities.
This isn't an argument against lifting weights - I encourage many of my yogis and runners to do so.
It's a simple reminder that the qualities I've developed in one discipline can naturally carry into others.
