Comments: Good workout today. Finally had a workout to put my new axle through its paces. It is much tougher to put overhead than any of the other axles I've used. Most that I've used have been hollow tubes which have some flex in them but this solid bar has absolutely none. 300 will come soon. I think training on this axle will make any I face in contest easy by comparison when it comes to pressing. Managed to grind out some rack log half presses. Was planning to do pull-ups but my arms were bothering me during the first set so I'm ditching them. I did the snatch grip light to get used to them again and added back in the dumbbell rear delt raises. They were very easy and I attribute that to the recent addition of banded rack pulls.
