A bigger diameter log tends to favour pressers. Personally, 10" was always my fave, the most comfortable size. The 8" is annoying, thw 12" is okay but the 14" is awkward as hell.

HA, Iā€™ve only tried the 10ā€™ā€™ log. And I like how it feels.

10/7

  1. Axle clean and press 105x5,125x5,155x5180x0,0,0,
  2. Every rep cleaned 155x2x5
  3. Axle press 155x12,8
  4. Lateral and front raises x 3 sets
  5. Cambered bar rows 135x2x25
  6. Axle bar curls 65x3x10

I couldnā€™t clean 180 for the life of me. Pissing me off. Next time.

What was the problem? Iā€™m trying 185 tomorrow and Iā€™m expecting that itā€™s going to try and scrape down my belly. I have to actually consciously protrude my abdomen to keep it high.

Tony, getting the weight to the top of my stomach and the press are easy. My wrist wonā€™t snap back trying to get the weight in the rack position. Iā€™m not sure if itā€™s a mobility thing or maybe Iā€™m just really weak at that part of the exercise. But Iā€™m going to keep at it.

  1. Semi-sumo deadlift 135x3,3 185x3 225x3 275x3 315x3 340x3 385x3x3
  2. Row-deadlift combo 275x3x5-5
  3. Banded pushups x5 sets
  4. Grip block x a few sets

Good workout. Deadlifts felt heavy but I havenā€™t sumo deadlifted in quite awhile.

Might be shoulder flexibility. How are you at dislocations?

HA, I canā€™t touch my hands behind my back. So my dislocations are not good.

  1. Log clean and press: 75x10 125x5 145x5 165x5 185x5 205x5 225x1 165x3x10
  2. Front squat: 135x5 185x5 205x5 225x3 245x3 265x3 285x3

I only cleaned the first rep for log clean and press. This was the first Iā€™ve squatted without a box for a quite a bit. I definitely felt it in my quads more.

Nah, itā€™s math. Your back is six feet wide, but your arms are only two and a half feet long.

Thatā€™s definitely the problem PG. Old age and being chubby have nothing to do with it. :smiley:

Box jumps x 5 sets x 5-10 reps
Grip block 25 x 2 sets 35 x 2 sets
Pinch grip thing 25 x 2 sets
Wrist roller 50 x a few 60 x a few

Today was an off day but I felt like doing something. I made a wrist roller with a 3ā€™ā€™ pvc pipe that slides on the end of an Olympic bar years ago. I pulled it out of the junk box and used it today.

  1. Stone carries x a bunch
  2. Natural stone row into sldl x3x5-6
  3. Wrist rolls 70x2 sets

It was getting dark so I used my 2 stones in the basement. 150 lb atlas stone and a 230 lb natural stone. The distance carried is limited in the basement but it was still enough to get a good workout in.

I had plans on doing complexes and spin bike but ended up doing grip. I did several sets of each:

Finger curls, timed holds, block grip, pinch grip, wrist rolls
