Comments: Ok workout. Board pressing with chains was really tough. They don't deload much so I'd say that it was at least 80lbs still added to the bar weight when the bar hit the boards. Essentially made for a wobbly board press session haha. So mad I missed the first attempt with 300lbs. It was going but then it drifted towards my face and I lost my balance. I'll get it next time. Did Z-presses for the first time in almost two years. Felt awkward on the first set but got back into it on the following sets. These felt nice. I haven't done reps higher than three before on these though. Took it light on the rows as I'm just getting back into those and my biceps are still tender. I'm going to have to think about what to do with log cleans as the negative kills my biceps when I've done events the day before and dropping the log from the chest is not an option. More research.
