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!

40kg x 6
50kg x 3

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!

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