10/2/20 - Snatches, Squats, and Blast Strap Fun

Insanely awesome session in the garage on this fine Friday morning.

• Snatches with 28 kg - 5 rounds of:

  • 5 snatches every 30 seconds for 5 sets

  • Rest 3 minutes

• Bear Hug Squats - 100-lb med ball x 5, 150-lb sandbag x 5, 200-lb sandbag x 3 x 5

• Blast Strap Rows - 16 kg x 5, 10 kg x 3 x 5

• Blast Strap Push-ups - BW x 4 x 6

This felt like the first session all week where my mind was fully engaged and I was just in the moment. Cali is off on Fridays so she is home and can take care of Arvid while I train. My other workouts this week were good, but I had the distraction of worrying about Arvid, time pressure, etc. This session put me in a great mindset and got me ready to attack the day.

Over the last two weeks, I have trained four days per week and done two weight vest walks on my off days. This might be a winning combination for the time being. I feel strong and fresh each workout.

I’ve been feeling very grateful lately. I’m getting into qualifications for my new position at work and I really think it’s going to be a great gig. Like everybody else in this world, I want to find my niche. Something that is fulfilling and enjoyable while also paying well is hard to find, but I may have stumbled into it in the last six months.
