Axle Press

Good news. Yesterday the organizer of Battle at the Border anounced that the Axle Clean and Press is lowered to 200lbs for my age group / weight class. Today's training inspired by the good news.

Alternate the following warm up.

Rebounding - 25 minutes.

Axle Press - 3 sets/6,8,10 reps/115lbs.

Axle Press - 165lbs/6 reps, 215lbs/1 rep, 215lbs/3 reps.

Being a Powerlifter my overhead press, especially with an axle, is not very good. On a flat bench or inclined this weight would be quite easy. 215lbs for a triple is a personal best for sure.
