SSAB - September 18, 2026

New donation! Thank you! Join the club! Paypal link in the show notes!

First week done and it already feels like it’s going faster! Gotta keep the students speaking! So far, so good!

Evening orientation for the newbies: don’t talk sht about sht!

Up and out this morning for a workout, deadlifts, pull ups and upper body. When can I get my run in?

And Beijing has banned drones! Like, even having them in the city!
