Back to the gym tomorrow for me too, don't expect my weight has budged as I've not gone crazy but damn I've missed the stability of a working day. It's so damn hard eating properly when I'm home all day, plus I'll tend not to go to the gym whilst I'm off work....
Here's to hoping I'm well enough to do a bit more cardio now tho![]()

Hows your form on the skull crushers? and what sort of grip and bar do you use?
I'm not trying to be annoying just that I find with my arms fully back using full ROM I use about the same weight as you.. (yet I CGBP 75kg*ish for 6)

in close grip bp how close your hands meant to be. tried it the other day with hands touching each other that right or should be slightly more wide for greater balance so can add more weight?

Well using an inverted grip will definately put more strain on the wrists, hell just try bicep curling with a reverse grip (although unless you curl over 40kg's it may not be as noticable). If i was you id use a standard grip.
Good grip would be considered someone who could hold a 200kg bar fairly solidly, i wouldnt say i have good grip as such but i can hold 200kg for around 10 seconds. Remember estimating grip from bodyweight exercises is not a good idea as its based on what you weigh which might be bugger all lol
CGBP and skulls just aren't relative m8 tbh its a bit like comparing your bent over row to your bicep curl
Was training in Poland today with a local powerlifter (he's 42 years old as well!).
Was good fun and he had some interesting ideas about training.
Got 4 reps on bench at 105kg though so I was pleasedAlthough I was having about 4 minutes rest between sets (his idea). He was deadlifting as well but I didn't fancy it with the hernia, so my workout was basically Pull ups, bench, chins up and then some dodgy pull down machine.
Will hopefully get some pictures / vids this week.
