30-day bridge challenge complete — final numbers

Day 1: 20 bodyweight bridges was hard. Day 30: 100 total reps split 40/30/30, last set banded with a 2-second pause. No missed days. My lockout strength in barbell thrusts went up without touching them this month. Daily habit compounds. Who is starting with me next round?

Home vs gym after 6 months of both

Did 6 months bands at home, then joined a gym. Home built the base and the habit; the gym made overload trivial. Neither is magic — the one you do consistently wins. If cost or anxiety keeps you home, start home today and switch later without guilt.

My 8-week hip thrust progression (40kg to 70kg)

Eight weeks ago I stalled hard at 40 kg for sets of 8. I added one top set per week, paused one second at lockout, and stopped rushing the eccentric. Today 70 kg x 8 moved well. The program did not change — the patience did. Log your top set, trust small jumps.
