I have never seen a saxon bar in person before. Probably only at hardcore gyms, lol. Let us know how the qualifier was. Sounds like something that would be super fun to attend.
Tuesday
Seated Press
to 115kg/253lbs (5kg/11lbs under my old PB) x 4 reps. Done on one breath
Saxon Bar work
The off the ground thing seemed not to work today on the max weight. Might give it another go
Floor for all warm up sets. Up on the wheels for 107.5kg x 1, then 1+nearly, then 2 x 1 x failed
