On Saturday I did this thing called “Assisted Dips” @strongsidenewwest , which means you would use a band to “assist” yourself. But I think I might have done them wrong on the last set because I did it without any bands. #strongsiders #letsdothis #liftthethings #iwasthething (at Strong Side Conditioning)

So there is this fundraiser at @strongsidenewwest that donates all the proceeds to the Lower Mainland Purpose Society (see the link I my bio), and for every dollar raised the coaches will be deadlifting the equivalent weight. This past week was only about 75 kg and @delabyron did it with one arm. Let’s see if we can get some more weight on that bar and get the other coaches involved. And or course it goes toward a good cause. #tistheseason #strongsiders #letsdothis #liftthethings (at Strong Side Conditioning)

Last day of the latest program at @strongsidenewwest and it is also the last program of 2016. On to the new program next week and to making 2017 a good year. A little bit of trivia, I bought this shirt at the @nineinchnails concert for for the"With Teeth" album tour back in 2005. To my dismay, I found out that it was too small for me. But now, what do you guys think ??? #strongsiders #workitout #liftthethings #thenputthemdown #andrepeat (at Strong Side Conditioning)

Last day of the third week of the latest program at @strongsidenewwest and it also happens to be the last day of 2016. I'm feeling reflective today. Not everything that happened this past year has been good, but not all of it was bad. We lost some people we cared about (some family members, not just celebrities), but I started this journey of improving my health, with the help and encouragement of everyone at @strongsidenewwest which I will be eternally grateful for. I can't wait to see what 2017 has in store for all of us. Let's make it a good one. #bringon2017 #strongsiders #letsdothis #workitout #liftthethings #thenputthemdown #andrepeat (at Strong Side Conditioning)

End if the second week of the latest program at @strongsidenewwest . Yes, I know it's only Friday and I've already finished ??? I was trying to go for four days in a row but had to take a break yesterday because I was not feeling too good, but I went in today feel better now than the day before. Also, this week's update is brought to you by your friends at the Michael Scott Paper Company. #strongsiders #keepatit #workitout #liftthethings #thenputthemdown #andrepeat #thatswhatshesaid (at Strong Side Conditioning)

End of the first week of the new (11th) program at @strongsidenewwest and boy are my arms tired (these are the jokes people). Push presses followed by military presses and then Cuban presses will do that. And yes, I have seen Rogue One, and I will see it again (since pretty much everyone at the gym today asked me about it because of my shirt). #strongsiders #findyourstongside #doitbetter #workitout #liftthethings #thenputthemdown #andrepeat (at Strong Side Conditioning)

Another Sunday, another week finished at @strongsidenewwest, this being the third week of my tenth program. They have a holiday challenge going on right now, but I'll talk more about that later. I was able to complete three sets of 4 reps of unassisted chin-ups yesterday. It feels good to know that I am now able to lift myself up, because you never know when you will be precariously dangling off a building ledge or mountainside. #strongsiders #findyourstrongside #workitout #liftthethings #thenputthemdown #andrepeat (at Strong Side Conditioning)

Oh, one more thing about yesterday at @strongsidenewwest I was able to do four reps for the first two sets of my unassisted chin ups. That's an improvement over last week. It does make one sore the next day, but it's mitigated by the great feeling of accomplishment of the ability to be able to do this. #strongsiders #liftthethings #thenputthemdown #andrepeat #iguessthatmakesmethething (at Strong Side Conditioning)
