I am here to live, learn, and pass on.
The Battleaxe Gym got a brand new toy!
We improvised and have been using a regular dumbbell but there's no comparison to the circus dumbbell because it is such an awkward object to press, and you want to learn how to use it come competition (if this particular event is in your competition).
Since this event is paired with the one arm deadlift, we took our time setting up (using the time we would be carrying the deadlift, which is similar to a farmers bar).
