AWESOME session at junction. definately worth the 2 hours travelling each way. big thanks to gates for havin the patience to teach me some technique!

my memories a bit crap at the best of times so il do my best to remember what i did.

squats: bar, 60kg, 100kg, (just a few reps on each to warm up) 120kgx1, 140kgx1/PB 150xfail and 150kgx1 but pretty high (vid shud b up soon)

1st time at events as follows:

Axle press: 45kgx3 (cud of been more not sure tbh) 55kgx1 or 2 i think
65kgx1 70kgx1 - then tried belt cleans for 1st time found it much easier, 75kgx1 80kgx2 (1 clean 2 presses) (vid to follow)

Log press: baby log 35kg - 65kg ish messed about tryin t get used to technique etc (still havent got it quite right)
proper log 70kgx1 75kgx1 80kgxfail 80kgx1 (think theres a vid)

Yoke: didnt like this from the start. 90kg/empty frame 15m drop n turn 15m (was a warm up but still felt tough) 170kg 10m 1 drop, then quick rest did 10m with another drop.

Farmers: 60kg x 15m 100kg x 10m (pleased with this) 80kg x 15m (few second breather) then another 15m

Stones: 110kg x 1, 110kg x 1, 120kg x1, 145kg x fail x fail (lifted it an inch)

OVERALL VIEW: very happy with everything except the yoke which i wanted to get 15m no drops.

awful session, wrist pain as really bad, and i felt weaker than usual anyway. wrist didnt effect the weight but did impact the amount of reps.

bench press
27k x 15
67k x 8
81k x 10 (wrist was painful)
91k x 5
101k x 3 (got 10 reps @ 99k few weeks ago, wasnt trying to get more than 3 reps but even if i was i thnk 6 or 7 would have been dificult)
111k x 2 (1.5" piece of wood on chest) (wanted 3 on these but felt too damn heavy)
111k x 2 (wood on chest)
111k x 2 (wood on chest)
111k x 1 (wood on chest) (didnt try 2nd rep as 1st rep almost failed)

close grip
71k x 10
71k x 10
81k x 10

DB inclince
40k DB's x 8
40k DB's x 5 (very disappionted with both of these, wanted 3 sets of 10 which i could do b4 wrist injury)

left it there on chest - it was gettin tired

abs - knees up / decline bench sit ups 3 sets of 12

was rushed for time so missed out skullcrushers n did a quick drop set on tri's

i was looking forward to this workout but im disappointed with how weak my chest was. close grip was the only thing that wasnt too bad i think.
