He’s great at calling moves during rolls, advising during the roll what to do when struggling etc. So him not rolling = more coaching across each pair of people.

-great weekend with some warmer weather coming through. Hit the beach with family, sandcastles then some icecream after lunch. Managed 11k steps, first time over 10k since picking up that flu a few weeks ago. Appetite finally starting to return too. Trending upward.
-Mowed lawns yest, bike ride with junior, cooked up a batch of meatballs 2/3 roo, 1/3 beef with plenty of home grown veg blended up and mixed in (went a bit heavy on the greens - lesson learnt on flavour but easy way to boost the veg count @QuadQueen @T3hPwnisher ). Cooked some in air fryer, some on tray. Playing around with a few different methods. No after shot but plenty in the freezer for snacks.
Some of the crop:

All those veggies!! I LOVE it!! Veggies in meatballs = #ProLevel and they help keep em’ juicy too!
I’m also super glad to hear that you’re starting to feel back to normal. I’m gonna credit the veggies there.

Those meat balls looked really good to me! 
Glad you are able to have a veggie garden. We would love to but our backyard is in the shade most of the day…

-bit of movement whilst still in business shirt and pants. Corporate workout? Need to start bringing in some gym clothes to work.
-the vege patch needs more attention alas low on the priority list @TM79 but great to plant things in there with junior so she can appreciate hopefully that not all food magically appears on a supermarket shelf!
-meatballs in lunch today, leftovers. tasty.

-Back escapes, making space and getting elbow to the ground.
-Rolled twice, only tapped once vs J, so that’s a bonus, escaped a few precarious positions too. 2nd roll fairly even vs Liv. Then a bit of closed guard escape work with N who’s nursing a rib so just technical practice.
-good session

-Double leg shots, transitioning to back, or taking the legs. Muchly required to build my base.
-Just the three of use today, so rolled twice, only tapped once with J. Held my own a lot better, went for the legs a few times too instead of just defending his long reach. 2nd roll with Liv great, evenly matched, got out of close guard a few times, almost nailed a darce choke on her, had probably the better of the roll as was never in trouble when on the defence. Fun challenge of being the smallest lightest (oldest) guy in the group continues!
-another enjoyable/quality session
-resting HR57 (finally over a number of colds, flu’s bugs etc @amaeland - I reckon that was the main culprit in previous months!)

I’ve been wondering about if hex bars have a standard weight. 32 kg seems fairly common, but maybe not so much that it’s a standard?
