Nice chesting... not sure I could manage DB bench after barbell bench...

 

[duvet77]

well neither could I, clearly!

I'm a long way from where i want to be.

Dude. I want to snatch 130kg and clean'n'jerk 180kg. At least you have something achievable.

I don't really have any idea if that is a lot or not! What's an elite level snatch and C&J?

You'd probably shift 80 to be honest for a few. Whats your 1rm?

 

[duvet77]

90kg is my best a few months ago, but i have subsequently failed at 90kg, so i don't know.

I've done 80 for a few in the past.

Good work on the Bench buddy. Going well

Thanks. Progress is slow, but it's still progress I guess.
Might be benching 100kg next year, if I can keep my shoulders healthy.
