Another day... another all time personal best. Powerhouse for 2 reasons. One so someone can film/photograph me and two so I'll make sure to do it with people watching vs me at my gym. I would NOT have made this lift (had 2 cheering me on) without them

Seated Press

Saxon Bar work (gym version (I donated it) which needs more chalk)
to 110kg x 3 x 1 reps (last 1 best - all hard lol)

@ Powerhouse just cos. But also cos I know I'd push myself harder at the gym vs at home
Seated Press
usual warm ups then 110kg/242lbs x 6 reps

Saxon Bar Work - 3 inch square
Made a mistake warming up thinking 72.5kg was 82.5kg but carried on working up via 92.5kg x 1 then 102.5kg x 1 and finally 107.5kg/236.5lbs x 4 x 1 reps (first one made me dizzy)
