Exercise And Fitness – Reflection From January 27, 2026

Today’s date: January 28, 2026

I had a pretty good workout yesterday.

I worked out on a smith machine and did the squat exercise. I added 5 x 45 pound plates to each side of the smith machine barbell.

This should total to 475 pounds because the smith machine barbell description mentions that the bar weighs around 25 pounds. I was able to squat 25 reps at this weight. It felt pretty good.

My body weight is still around 190 pounds.

This is what 5 x 45 pound plates looks like on a barbell smith machine. This image is from a previous exercise reflection blog post. Take a look at that previous fitness reflection here.
