Snatch
70lbs x5x3
(Note- Snatch today was not so great, trying to get back into the groove of Weightlifting sucks. Most of the snatches were practically Power Snatches, I bailed on 3 reps in the bottom of the snatch.)
Thanks man, I’m hoping I’ll be somewhere in the top ranks of strongman when I’m older. I want to be the first man to pull 1200lbs so I reckon I’ll have to get an early start. I see you caught the strongman bug as well, can’t wait to see what you can do brother. Keep up the hard work

I was forced to invest in some figure 8 straps today after I busted my knuckles in some kids face today, the dude was bullying my 13yr old cousin on the internet, the kid is 15 or 16… Who the hell even thinks that’s a remotely fun way to spend their time?
That’s one way to stop bullying
In all seriousness any legal issues for doing that? Or school punishments? (depending on where). (Yes I understand you can’t reason with some people)
