Forgot to log this earlier (done after axle press):

Axle Cleans:

120 kg x fail
120 kg x fail

(^^This was supposed to be 110 but I misloaded it)

115 kg x fail
115 kg x fail - closest yet
115 kg x fail

Lateral Raises:

10 kg x 10 reps 3 sets

Machine curls

Unlucky on the cleans bud, but, do you think, if you cleaned the 115, could you press it?

Unlikely I could actually press the 115, I reckon my max is 110 on a good day at the moment. I predict I will clean the 115 on the day, but miss the press!

Strong cleans bro. keep it up.. I have never tried axle bar before. How hard is it than the usual barbell ? saw you using it at Genesis (easter meet)

The axle has a much larger diameter than a normal bar, so its hard to grip. And it shouldn't rotate either, making power or oly cleans pretty difficult at any real weight! Even contintal cleaning it is difficult, but it gets better with practise

Unfortunately not been on this log in a while due to posting on a 5 year old phone.
Bloody nice work on squats and deadlifts! You're getting well strong.

No worries man, thanks for the kind words

Experimented with putting my hands out further towards the ends on squats, I think I prefer these, but racking and unracking is very impratical as the supports are where my hands would go.
