That’s a hell of a lot of effort for something so bland. 
The flavours you’re mentioning though…I can dig it.

Strongman Saturday
Despite my grumpy back from yesterday I decided that sandbag carry’s were a good idea today.
80KG (176lbs) bag
10 rounds going every second minutes.
Going to be hot today so did these in the morning. It was still 25c but that’s better than doing them later when it will be 35c.
Have a great weekend everyone

Those dips after dumbell bench is really a great simple combination. I see so many kids in the gym messing around with cables and I always think just lift some heavy dumbells and do some dips. I am so old. LOL

I couldn’t agree more man! Bench and dips, rows and pull ups, squats and RDLs.. You just can’t beat those classic combos
