Notes: 3:45 between heavy press, 2:00 between giant sets.  That topset of axle press was nuts.  I clocked myself in the jaw on the first rep, stumbled back, felt like it was going to cap out at 10 since I was out of the groove and jacked up, but managed to keep brute forcing reps until I beat 13.  I beat my previous best, and I imagine I coulda totally blew it away in even better conditions. 

I'm taking the keg press out of the giant set rotation and replacing it with the log.  Now that the press weight has been taken down, all this energy is wasted.  250 isn't going to be a problem, and pressing a keg with the staggered grip is practically a single arm lift, so I don't want to get too unbalanced there, especially when I could spend this time getting my press even crazier.  Still, good to keep getting in practice with it, so I'll most likely keep it as my second set after my topset.

I was surprised with how strong I was this early in the morning.  Must really be over my illness.
