Perks of living in a 3rd world country. Then again, an average employee won’t even earn that kind of money in years lol

That’s crazy! It is a 1400sqft bungalow, and is going to cost nearly $400k to build. To have a builder do it all, it was going to be at least $550k, and to buy a new house like this on the market would be >$600k. The housing market is nuts here right now.

I think the average Canadian wage is around the $50k mark, so it still isn’t an easy debt to rid yourself of unfortunately!

That’s a lot of money man. $600k would literally be a mansion here lol
Is the housing market in Canada as bad as in the US?

You’re telling me! I’m a cheap S.O.B. too, so spending this kind of money on ANYTHING is a pretty big stressor on me!

This was comical. No way I am doing these correctly. They were exhausting though, so there is that. I had to take a knee after each set, they were tiring as heck.

Good workout, nice to get back in working out with a group and with my coach. Might try to make it in more consistently for their Saturday morning sessions.

I’m in Kansas and that’d buy a nice house here.

I wouldn’t do sets of 10 on these. You can either continue to wear yourself out or drop the reps and practice the form so you’re better prepared for the official program.

That’s a good point. I was trying to run the program as close as possible, but at least for cleans, it would be better to learn the movement than just tiring myself out flailing around like a fool.

Wise words.

Difficult, tiring, legs feeling like Jello, BUT, still wayyy easier for me than 10x10 DL. I can grind squats in a fatigued state a lot better than I can deadlifts.

Last set of situps were actually leg raises, back started feeling uncomfortable during situps.

I had a nice little workout hangover for 45mins after this one. Whew.

Damn man, that looks like a lot of work.

Yeah, 10x10 is wayy outside of my wheelhouse for lifting. 5/3/1 is about as much volume as I usually have in my program.
It sure makes me realize how out of shape I am!

As you can tell workouts have been sparse.

Things are good, family is good, house progress is moving back in the right direction, but super busy right now. Hope all is well with you guys!

I was away at the in-laws for a long weekend and hit a workout with my brother-in-law at the gym he goes to. His choice for the workout, ARM DAY.

I’m not even sure if I have an arm day recorded in this entire log. It has been a LONG time since I’ve just gone to the gym and hit arms. Heck of a pump, and this workout was two days ago and I’m still having trouble feeding myself my triceps are so tight/sore.
