Slow is definitely the right word mate. But slow gainz are better than no gainz. I am living proof that careful programming, periodisation, discipline and consistency work.

lol my deloads tend to be harder than my normal training but then I do live in the land where everything is upside down.

Wife and i have actually been talking about giving that land a try. Lots of cool jobs seem to be available… could be a fun change of pace.

Strongman Saturday session today was sandbag carry followed by log press followed by 5 burpees. Did 7 rounds of this, on the last round I did a longer carry, 3 reps of log clean and press and 10 burpees. Good little session.

Im serious enough to ask questions for sure. I assume its relatively easy for an American to get a work visa, do you know if thats the case? Do you know what sort of income tax rulrs apply to foreigners living and working in AUS?
