I know it's only a hex bar but locking out 240kg was a real confidence booster!

De finely could have gone heavier but I needed to be fresh for the atlas stones tomorrow (today) and I'm too close to pr week to get myself injured

Finished off with hamstring curls

ATLAS STONES!!!!

did a few run throughs, from 40kg up to 100kg. And then attempted the big 120kg stone!

 

120kg /264lbs stone - lowest platform!

Went up quick into my lap but struggled getting it on the platform, got there eventually!

 

Threw the 100kg around like it was nothing, easily put it on the 3rd platform along, got to be like 5ft something.. The highest is just under my height (6ft)

 

Finished off with some tricep push downs

 

The skin and hair on my forearms is all ripped and bruised... Gonna need a long weekend of recovery now
