RESULTS

On Thursday I went into the gym in town while I was away for Christmas but I forgot my belt at my gym I work at.
So I went ahead anyway and tried Standing Shoulder Press in the power rack off the pins from the bottom of the lift. About collar bone level. Got 225 big time push pressing it.

Next I thought of trying benching anyway. Although that wasn't a big part of the program. Bottom Position in the rack again off the pins, just enough to slide under the bar. Self spotting as it is.
Not feeling great after sleeping and eating continually over Christmas week and was mentally affected by forgetting the belt and more cautious without it.
Got 315 lbs. BARELY! But whatever, wasn't a big part of the program. I can get it back later.

Back home at the normal gym today with belt I did Shoulder Press again and JUST got 245. NEW PR
(NOT strict atall though pushing again.)

Did APOLLON AXLE Deadlift 110 x 5, 200 x 1, 290 x 1 and after a few tries finally getting it right just diving down and pulling it without thinking, 350 lbs. x 1 NEW PR X 2
Got 205 lbs. Log Clean to my chest
