Yes it was about 2 meters. We just call a snake catcher guy and he comes and re homes it.
Moved the sand from my green barrel into my new keg today. Weighed it after and it is 55KG. Well under comp weight but will be good for me to practice with and learn how to clean and press it and then I will just add some more sand later.
Thatās wild man. Talk about a job hazard. Not sure they have any office PPE that is venomous snake proof.

Nice squats! Whole session look like a great one. Solid work!
Thanks Shane, it was a really good session, squats were solid and the rest was just good old hard heavy pump work.
Weāve got 4 snakes here that potentially kill you. Donāt know if you were on here when the Cottonmouth got me. Must of been 12 years ago now. Re homing Alabama style - 9mm with rat shot.

@wiseman83 @shaneinga thanks boys. I donāt mind the high volume stiff but I can only do it for so long before things start to complain. Feeling good right now so just going to ride the wave.
Its proven that pullups have an anabolic ratio of 5000:1 (broscience)
Well that is good enough for me.
Damn good Deads. Motivating to get back into some heavy lifts again.
Iāll that from you Harry. Thanks mate

Thatās where you make most of your gains throughout your entire lifting life, doing the meat and potatoes.
