Bench and Log Press

What a fun day. Bench Press went well. Not overly heavy. Log Press went really well. My form is much better. 

Rebounding - 40 minutes this morning. 

Leg Swings and Dynamic Stretches. 

Bench Press - 3 sets/12 reps/135lbs, 225lbs/8 reps, 275lbs/4 reps, 295lbs/3 reps, 315lbs/3 reps.

Log Press - 85lbs (10 presses/1 clean), 135lbs/1 rep, 185lbs/1 rep, 185lbs/1 rep.

Seated Log Press - 135lbs/8 reps, 145lbs/10 reps.

Currently I'm feeling out this new movement and coming up with ways to train. How to use my rack. So far so good.

If I haven't said so, I easily forget things, I am competing in my first ever strongman competition 1st April. The events are as follows. 

Log Clean and Press for reps, 75 sec. 140lbs.

Car Deadlift for reps, 75 sec. 400lbs.

Super Yoke Carry, 80'. 500lbs.

Keg Carry and Load, 3-4 kegs 20' distance 54' height. Weight TBD.

I'm starting out slow and becoming proficient with the implements. The strength is there I just need to know how to apply it.
