I really did not want to do this workout. It is hard for me to rally myself after a long day with the toddler. I convinced myself, but it was a slow tempo workout. Had Netflix running on the tablet and got distracted between sets a few times. Not terrible overall, but lots of room for improvement.

I know that feeling very well. I would like to say it gets easier as they get older mate but not sure it does :joy:

And this is only with one. There are days that I wonder why a sane person would ever have a second one! Lol

They don’t! Or they’re no longer sane after the second one anyway.

They at least keep each other busy.

I was quite pleased after hitting this. I had a tough week this week, so decided heavy deadlifts would make things better. They did.

T Bar Rows
Bunch of volume here, good MMC, slow ecc.

Haha, never wake the baby!

My PR for deads is 307.5kg, but happy to still have this in the tank with my current (lacklustre) training schedule.

Thanks Simo, I guess the 2 times a week is holding onto my strength better than I expected!

Lol, thanks JM. It felt good to load the bar up and PULL!

You can do a lot with 2 good sessions a week. All that extra recovery time really helps.

Nice pump, worked pretty hard during this workout even though I would historically consider this to be a lot of “fluff” work. Starting to put more value into this “fluff” work and I think I’m seeing it pay off.

I had mine 17 months apart - first one wasn’t even a year when my wife shuffled out of the bathroom, holding a positive pregnancy test and sobbing. It being Mother’s Day, I gave her an affectionate pat on the back, sighed audibly, and went to work for the 7th 12 hour overnight shift in a row.

Happy days.

But seriously, they do play together now and I wouldn’t change it for the world. There was a time though, when the second one was 3 months, still breastfeeding, attached to my wife, and my only job was to occupy the almost-2-year-old, where I felt a complete lack of connection to my youngest. It’s a very weird situation. Plus, it’s not 2x the work. They can wake each other up and piss each other off and hurt each other. 2x the work would be 2 separate children. 2 children together is 4x the work.

Sincerely,
Mr. Sunshine
