Single Arm DB Snatch: 50lbs x 8 (each arm)

This giant set kicked my butt. I’m out of shape, this program is going to be just what the doctor ordered. I only managed to get in the main work today. I’m going to make an effort to get the extra/bonus/supplemental work in as well moving forward.

I’m happy to be back on a program, time to execute.

Glad everything’s good! I see I see. Training does get stale for a little while after some time, huh?

How’s the house construction and the baby btw?

This got me strangely excited!!:joy:

That’s for sure!

House is great, thanks. We accomplished a lot of landscaping this summer (with lots still remaining), and this winter we plan to tackle some finishing in the basement (washroom, spare room). Our son is doing awesome, he is an amazing little guy. We may or may not have a sibling joining him in the spring as well!

How are you liking the giant sets? It’s definitely a departure from the norm

Welcome back

5164

Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays everyone!

@TrainForPain - Apparently, I didn’t like them very much, as I’m back on 5th Set programming again now, lol.

@bigpappafrance - I might require a few “welcome back” 's at the rate I’m going!

I’m still working out, just haven’t been posting much. Hope everyone is doing well in lifting and otherwise.
I did manage to hit a 495 x 8 set on the deadlift today. Heaviest I’ve gone in a while.

I’m still kicking, but after this combo, I’m a lot closer to death.

Also, for fun, the other day I pulled a 1RM from blocks (bar height ~18”).

Thanks Simo! As always, I appreciate your company! Hope things are well with you.

We are busy getting some last minute renovations done before April when we welcome our second child into this crazy world! Otherwise, things are good. Lots of overtime over the past couple months, great for the bank account, not-so great for free time, lol.
