   Doing primarily sandbag work is humbling, but effective.  I'm also getting better at it, so there's that.

	Still in it with strongman training and running a lot. No idea when I'll return to a commercial gym. Tom
	Aim high. Stay hungry.

	Still haven't seen the inside of a regular weight room, but strongman training is keeping me busy. I'm very close to being able to do farmers carries with body weight in each hand, though in my case that's not too impressive. Tom
	Aim high. Stay hungry.

	It is to be noted that farmers handles make a decent approximation of a trap bar for dead lifts in a pinch. It is also to be noted that tabata push ups are awful in every way. Tom
	Aim high. Stay hungry.

	Still doing strongman training and running, and I'm still making progress. I haven't thrown an implement in anger in many months, so it would be good to spend some time on that to keep my sanity. Hope everyone is staying as safe and healthy out there as they can. Tom
	Aim high. Stay hungry.

	One month check in - Sled work is the devil Sandbags fight back I'm good at pull ups Single side farmers carries rule I have the flexibility of a rusty lawn chair That is all, Tom
	Aim high. Stay hungry.

	Semi-regular check in - Still doing only strongman work but no longer losing weight, which is good. I'm moving great though. I have managed to throw a little and am having to learn new leverages now that I'm 30 pounds lighter. Working on a speed game instead, but it's uphill without the extra mass and strength I used to have. Tom
	Aim high. Stay hungry.

	Can I borrow that 30lbs that you so frivolously threw away? 30lbs doesn't just grow on trees, ya know!? Must be f'n nice. For real though congrats on your hard work paying off. Ya done good.

	It wasn't intentional, per se. It is a mix of diet changes, stress, and old age. I'm down to 172 now, but I sure can do pull ups. HWFD is back to being comical.
	Aim high. Stay hungry.

	Quick update: Made it through the holidays without losing any more weight. Still haven't been in a commercial gym since March 21, 2020 due to virus risk to my family My coach still has me training via strongman and bodyweight stuff and hopefully maintaining some strength Actually welded up a barbell over the holidays that will work with my stash of weights and can deadlift again. It won't support super heavy, but still -- it's deadlifts. Everybody be well. Tom
