Bad/good news about my log, it's only 85 lbs and not 95. So I've been training with weights 10 lbs lighter than I thought. Worked up this time to several sets of 205, and made it up to 5 reps on the last set. I was totally wrong about the roll-up being harder than the press, too. I think that only applied when I was doing higher reps and my biceps fatigued faster than my pressing muscles.

Anyway it's amazing how much concentration and form make a difference on the log. I failed to get even one rep with 195 the first time I tried to wing it, but repping 205 this time was fine. I need to get comfortable with at least 230, which is the competition weight.

In other news, I'm also working on procuring a 215ish lb Atlas stone, and possibly a 300 lb one if I can even pick that one up. In talks with a local guy for pick-up on Friday.
