Nothing Stops Me

Oscar made a promise to himself that nothing would get in the way of his fitness goals. No slacking off, no cheat days, nothing. It worked for running a 5K under 20 minutes and it worked for swimming 1000-meter freestyle under 14 minutes, so it was also going to work for deadlifting 300 pounds. The only problem was... he was now in a body of a young Asian woman.

He didn't choose to be stuck this way, and frankly, the first few days were very discouraging. He felt like he was starting over again, and gaining fitness took much longer for women anyway. On the plus side, he gained a few years of lifespan to make up the difference, and he still had a good frame for building muscle. He trained like a navy seal from then on, never stopping, never letting up. Within a few weeks, he noticed his strength had improved. He looked leaner, his muscles had grown in size, and his diet grew exponentially. It took much longer than he initially expected, but eventually he beat the deadlifting challenge as well.
