25 Minutes of Stretching

Comments: Me and the log are not friends. Been some time since I last touched it. One motion the first rep and then regular pressing the rest of it. Thankful for just doing one clean as that was enough to make my shoulders and arms sore. Too big of a jump for the last set, should have tried for just 250lbs. Log supports are the devil. Can't use anywhere near the amount of weight I can on axle supports but this is so much harder. I need to learn how to count to 30 faster haha. I wasn't sure how much I'd have left in me after that exhaustion fest but I felt good on floor press. Wrists not a fan of the wider grip angle but wraps took care of that. I felt I had a little more in me but didn't want to chance it was the last rep was a bit tough to lockout. I noticed after lifting that I had some redness and bruises on my back where my triceps insert to my back. Not sure what caused them but only feeling soreness there so just going to watch that area for now.
