Determination

Huff...

Pulling myself to the metal bar above, I let out a long exhale, feeling my muscles strain with the effort.

"47..."

I muttered under my breath, raising my chin above the bar before going for another rep.

"48..."

Sweat dripped from my brow, blurring my vision with each glistening drop.

However, I merely closed my eyes and carried on, gripping the bar tighter so it wouldn't slip from my grasp.

"49..."

My arms quivered with extreme exertion, slow and controlled movements becoming more challenging with every repetition.

'The last one...'

Clinging on the thought, I let out a guttural growl, summoning one final burst of strength to push myself upward.

"50!"

I dropped to the ground, savoring the satisfying burn in my muscles as the adrenaline coursed through my body.

Thud...

However, before I started to rest, I quickly untied the weight vest and tossed it aside, letting out a relieved sigh.
