I saw it and posted, I don't go looking at previous pages unless I was currently have a conversation with someone.

Will this classic one suffice then?

Don't have a hot shower for 24 hours, and make sure you keep it exfoliated don't want ingrown hairs :)
 
Make sure you get yourself someone who knows what they are doing.
I had a proper rug going on (not FF level but close) and first time I was quite lucky to get a waxer that used hot wax, knew what they were doing and were patient. It hurts a bit but it's bearable. ;)

Second time I went to a gentry chain in Canary Wharf - this young lady had no clue and didn't care - it was much more painful even though the hair was thinner and I already knew what to expect.

8-10 is seen as the typical range for hypertrophy, but it's not as simple as that

For example, some people can do 8-10 on legs all day long and see little to no progress until they do 15+ reps per set as they respond better to high volume

Typically though, most people doing 80-85% of their 1RM for 8-10 reps will achieve hypertrophy, but 15 reps of 60% could also achieve hypertrophy when used in drop sets or supersets etc, it's not black and white

Not really online at the moment, working every hour God sends me at the moment - bloody Olympics! :( Not training much either.

Feel free to link to my waxing.

Tips? Get it done by a pro, and don't be a bitch, it doesn't hurt that much. Don't shave/trim your chest. Expect a little bit spot bleeding.

Do it tomorrow! If that isn't possible, there was no reason to not go for a big unspotted bench.

Gonna try again Friday evening. Got 147.5 x 5 a few weeks ago so hoping for something around 165-170 depending on how easy 150 feels.

Happy to bench up to 140 on my own but any more and I like a hand off and someone watching over me for piece of mind.

Wear or take something loose fitting for after and don't have a hot shower before hand.

Happening at home, so I don't have to worry about wearing clothes after :)
