Terrible pain in both wrists and bicep tendons from about the 3rd rep on warmup Bench 60x10 100x4 120x3 140x1 100x4 Just felt really sore Axle strict press 40x10 90x2 90x2 even sorer than the bench Tried some seated shoulder stuff, sorer still. Pec deck, worse again Some streching and home. Total waste of a trip to the gym  | ||

I must confess to straps on the DB though  I think 120kg items should be fine to pick up and carry about. I have shouldered the 120 fat kegs and find them easy enough to load to platforms. Assume sandbags will be ok, although I dont have that weight to practice with, think it was a 115 for loading in my last comp and it was ok. Anvil is a bit of an unknown though. I am concerned about my girly hands and pussy grip though, I will get destoyed on farmers etc, and worry about wearing out my grip for the deadlift | ||

I am away for 2 weeks in early feb so will struggle to train at all, hopefully I will find some stuff laying about I can train with. I dont have anything to train for the finger, so will just have to hope its ok. My conditioning is not as good as it could be though. Anyway, I am looking forward to trying it and learning as much as I can from it | ||
