James, you getting ready for the contest the 1st week of January. BTW bro, you might want to do keg before axle since it's more awkward. Check out vids of Rob Orlando pressing the keg on youtube. Nice job on the training bro.

thanks man,

yeah January 9th, its my home gyms contest so i gotta represent on my home turf. You making it out?

I think i will go Log/Keg/Axle/DB ....... the axle is easy for me, i just sucked at it in the vid i took for some reason. I didnt clean it before hand, that was my first one for the day. Good idea man!

Just remember on the axle press, "pop and lock it"

Haha just kidding dude, I have no idea what I'm talking about. I was just commenting on what your buddy was yelling in the video during the axle.

man i think I had that exact same saying tattooed on my chest today, lol.

searching for a certain cable handle, noticing that the weight stack was touching while trying to get a stretch on calves, forgetting my knee wraps, hack squat machine not having enough weight, etc.

i was planning on a nice two week "cruise" period coming up in about 4 weeks. Man, im going to need it.
