Axle Continental Clean and Press 5 x 3 @ 55
Resting at least 2 minutes.
A few failed reps here.
Only 2 full reps on set 1. Second rep couldn’t get the bar rolled up to the chest.
Set 3 Rep 3 also failed at the same point.
Hard fought single on Set 5. Pretty much gassed out at that point.
Summary
Heavy stuff today.
I’m blaming a combination of heat and travel fatigue but its more likely just being crap at the movements!
Got a little better at least.

Block Pull 1 x 5 @ 122.5
Resting 2 minutes.
Pulling ok here.
Weird setup but bare with me! Still working on getting the correct start height.
Might sacrifice the pallet and glue up some custom blocks.
Log Clean and Press 5 x 3 @ 52
Resting 2 minutes.
Only a single rep here.
Slight headache this morning which has gradually progressed during block pulls and log warmups.
Head pressure when pressing the log was like a dagger in the back of my right eye so quitting here for some paracetamol and rehydration.
Summary
From last log session…
You mentioned the clean being a single movement so I gave this a go with the empty log this morning.
Didn’t feel too comfortable from where I was I think due to the log having an off centre centre of gravity on the frontal plane making it way different to a barbell clean.
I went back to tech demo videos but couldn’t find any examples of this with the log.
Going to go with Brian Shaw on this one (https://youtu.be/OrrPuoEZSHs).
Log from the floor seems to be a 3 step movement of lapping the log, rolling it to the chest then the press.
Block pulls ok today.
Log not so much after all that above!
