Sunday
Head on as per 24-hours out with the visualization of hitting 350kg/770lbs x 4+ reps. The idea being that IF I can hit those kinds of numbers then I'll hit the bigger number I'm aiming for.

Tuesday
Humped my Cerberus SSB to the gym. Laden with my wrist roller etc it totaled 40+kg walked 2/3rds of a mile. Oof. Load tested it to 405kg/892lbs.
Seated Press

Wrist Roller
No warm up cos loading and unloading the SSB was enough
83.75kg/184.25lbs x 3 x 1 reps. Absolutely brutal. Did 20 reps x JB wrist curls and 20 reps behind the back wrist curls x broomstick. Pump was painful
