Thanks

I guess it improves your chances if you train where she trains! Though she's preggers at the minute so probably not training much.

Indeed Benny!

Today chest:

Bench
bar x 12 x 2
40kg x 6
50kg x 3
60kg x 3
70kg x 3
90kg x 2, 3, 2 rep PB

Not sure why I only go 2 reps on first set and 3 on second. Maybe not enough rest after warmup. Anyway, I guess 90kg isn't my 1RM anymore!

DB Bench
32kg x 8, 6, 5

Dips
BW x 6
5kg x 6
10kg x 6
15kg x 6
20kg x 7

CGBP
55kg x 8, 8, 8

single arm cable extension
5kg x 15, 15

Relatively pleased with how things are going, even if progress isnt particularly fast.
