Axle press
160 x 3
190 x 3
210 x 3
Figuring out where my strength is at on this. It's definitely trending up again. Smooth reps. Thought I might have a 4th in me but then realized I probably didn't.

Incline axle bench
210 x 8, 8, 9
Super-set with pull-ups and chin-ups
10-12 for 2 sets
45 lbs x 10 reps

Called it here to make it to work. Going to do some more at night.

Weight seems stagnant. Weighing 206. Going to reduce the dextrose in my workout shake and carbs pre-training. I lift best when feeling full but I bet if I let myself adapt it'll be fine, and it's not going to be a drastic cut anyway. There's no pressure now to make a deadline but I'd like to gain weight up into a class when I have a meet date so plan is to continue dropping into the 190s. Speaking of which, I don't have the money right now to sign up for a different one (the eternally delayed one was paid for almost a year ago now) but when I do I'm going to shop around. 

Mat pulls (9)
Work-up to 625x1

Deadlifts
500 x 5

Belt squats
5 plates x 10
8 plates x 12
9 plates x 15

Done in the rain. Really liking this combination of high mat pulls and pulling from the floor.
