AMAB and our posts are just like your posts.
A couple weeks ago I set a goal on my rowing machine. In a single set I wanted to do 1,500 strokes in 60 minutes. That's 25 stokes a minute. It seemed very ambitious for me so I thought it would take months for me to get there. But I surprised myself and I managed that goal. And I kept going faster.
Today I did 1,507 strokes in 58 minutes which is ~26 strokes a minute. Somehow found an inner spring of will power. Don't ask me how.
For some reason right now I'm fixated on 1,500 strokes. Tomorrow I'll do two or three sets with my goal being 57 minutes. I think in three sets it's doable.
