No. I thought I could do 3 sets of 5 reps each hand but when I saw my form in front of mirror, it wasn't good after 3 reps so I fed that prompt to chatGPT and it came up with more sets and less reps. Even though chatGPT is wrong in this case, it won't hurt really. 4 weeks will pass quickly.

Ah... ok now I understand. Thanks for the clarification.

Somewhere like 10 years back I was training to do the midmar. I was klapping 1.6 - 2km sessions in the pool relatively easily... but I got flu the week leading up to the swim. And... I never got back in the pool. Waaaaay back in the day I used to swim galas in primary school. Used to go swim all over, parys, sasol etc etc.

But I think it's time to get back in the pool.

Overall my health is ASTRONOMICALLY better. This year I've dropped 11cm around mah belly, 8cm around my waist (belt line). I'm down 8kg in the last few months. I'm eating better. Feeling better and I don't wanna kots when I look at myself in the mirror.

why not? get back in the pool

btw did your GP do this kind of check up? id like to do that

Training for a few months to get ready and then not being able to do the first open water swim left me feeling disappointed... and now that the goal was missed I had no juice left in the tank.

Yep. However my GP is also a sports doctor. Not all GPs had treadmills and EKG/ECG (I never remember which is which) stuff at their practice. My previous GP didn't.
