Leg Break - 1 Yr Later
In just under a year since I broke my leg, I feel that my leg strength is nearly back to my pre-break strength. This morning on my leg workout, I was able to leg press the entire stack of plates (400 lbs.) three times. I can't recall lifting the entire stack before, but I usually lift in the 6-12 rep range. I also squatted 280 lbs 5x3, where my pre-break 1-rep max was 290 lbs.

Friends Don't Let Friends Workout Irresponsibly
Galan and Swami came over to try out my meager home gym.
SSB Squats 205 lbs 5 x 5 (Galan did sets of 10).
Swami and Galan don't go as deep as I. We all have a variation of our own.
C&P 24kg; 3 ladders of 3 rungs (3 x 1/1,2/2,3/3).
Swings and snatches various weights and reps.
Singles with TGU, F82S, Suitcase DL, and Farmers Walks.
I think they had fun and I liked sharing my toys.

Snatch Test
I had a bet with Swami and Galan that by the end of the year I could get 100 snatches in less than 10 minutes. They had some weight loss goals.
I was thinking all day: How hard could it be? I’d set the Gymboss to 30 seconds and the egg timer to 5 minutes. All I needed to do was get 10 reps in every 30 seconds...of course that assumes I could breathe (generally accepted as being over rated). After 60 reps I knew I wasn’t going to make 5 minutes and had to readjust the egg timer. I think I did it in slightly under 7 minutes. It was my first attempt and I learned a lot from the video. Lots of work to do, but still it was a goal.
Snatches 24kg; 5 x 10/10
