haven't documented my training the past few days, but here's what's been happening. Since I'm off to Canada next week it's just a bit of fun really, but still shooting for big weights.

Tuesday 24/5/11
Axle Press- 66/3/3, 106/3, 126/2, 136/1, 146/f Using the new fixed axle, I was mega pissed off at miss that weight so just packed my stuff up and left. In hindsight I haven't used a fixed axle before, was a few days post comp etc so I shouldn't beat myself up about it.
Thursday 26/5/11

Squat- 60/8, 100/5, 140/20 (rehband belt), 160/20 (lever belt)
