Wednesday
Leg Press
to 650-kilos x 6 reps - the 'hole 3' thing really makes a difference to depth. Every Fkin Time lol.

Power Squat Machine

Nail work
I need to use suede wraps as cloth kept slipping. As before the initial bend is easy

Awesome, much good fortune to you in the competition, Steve! As Peter said, we're all rooting for you!

The Pickaxe Lever to Rear Lift sounds interesting. Is it just an ordinary everyday pickaxe that'll be used or is it specially designed/made just for the competition?

[Mobster]

It's a handle modified with a loading pin. Have a look at David Horne's YouTube page. They'll be a video on it
