10/9/20 - Snatches, Pull-Ups, and Arvid’s First Hike

Some early Friday morning training today. My sleep was terrible because we had some house guests show up around 2330. Still grateful to get it done.

• Snatches with 28 kg - 2 rounds of:

  • 5 snatches every 30 seconds for 5 sets

  • Rest 3 minutes

• Weighted Pull-ups - 12 kg weight vest x 8 x 3 - This is a rough estimate of the reps. I did sets on the nunchucks, fat grip D-handle, and monkey bar on the rack. Definitely more arm and not enough back on these, but whatever.

I could definitely tell that I trained yesterday. Those swings with the 48 got my attention.

This afternoon I took Arvid on his first ever hike. We parked at Washington’s Headquarters and walked a four mile trail loop at Valley Forge. It was mid-60s and sunny and absolutely perfect. Everyone thought Arvid was just the cutest pup on the trail. He looked very content in the back seat on the drive home.
