ME Press from 3-14-13

 ME Press (3/14/13)

We went to Omaha Barbell tonight to check the place out.  I just went ahead and got a month's membership since it was only $30, and I don't think I will regret it.  The place has exactly what I'd want in a gym if I'm paying to be there.  It's big enough to have all the equipment I'll use, and some I don't need, and the people there are all of the same mindset, so there isn't much to worry about offending anyone.

Swiss bar press
This thing is terrible to press since the balance is so off.  It also doesn't allow you to get your elbows up in the bottom.

I worked up to like 280 x 2.

If we would have loaded bumpers I would have gone heavier, but I didn't want to drop the bar and make a scene on my first day here.

3 board Axle Press
I'm going to assume the bar weight was 20 pounds (which may be on the low side).

I worked up to 385 x 3
405 x 3 x 2

DB Incline Bench
100 x 10 x 3

Unilateral KB OHP
50 x 10
