POWER PRESSING

APR. 20
Tried APOLLON AXLE Cleans 70, 90, 110, 130lbs. x 1 Don't like these compared to the log. But was a busy day at the gym and wanted to get done and get home. Tried wrapping my bad wrist but didn't help as I hoped.

APOLLON AXLE Curls: 110, 120, 140 lbs. x 5
(Brings the forearms in as well as the biceps. A tougher version than normal bar.)

Military Press 175, 185, 205 x 4 **
Bottom Position Bench Press in the power rack 265, 275, 295 x 4 **
**(Redeemed myself here by getting more weight in my last sets than last week.)**

2" thick handled ROLLING THUNDER 1 Arm Deadlift: Left hand 90, 135, 180 x 1
Right hand 45, 90, 100 x 1 (I'm left handed so that's why the difference.)

(A great grip strengthener and another one of my different little exercises. :-) )

Stiff Legged Deadlift: 365, 385, 405 x 5 alternated with Bent Rows: 335, 365, 385 x 5(smith machine)
(An old stand by combo for upper and lower back in one! You can do low reps like I did here or higher reps/light weight too depending on your training goal. Effective combo either way.)
