Not hitting full ROM is lazy, bodyweight exercises are different

It's all to do with power to weight ratio, same reason as why the wilks formula is used in powerlifting etc.
Awesome 
I crack mirrors and scare scales, so stay away from both.
It was a touch high, but then that safety looks like he would need to touch it to hit depth!
You might be reaching your natural max for now. Possibly time to start with more advanced techniques for benching (bands, chains, very low reps, speed doubles etc etc).
It's hardly an amazing concept of a workout, would I do it? no. Would it work for people? yes.
Which is kinda obvious. the sort of person that says 'i want to look like TD' won't ever go near a squat rack.
You go to the wrong clubs. From what i remember, the women used to love putting their hands behind them onto my thighs while close. they also liked being sat on my lap
No girl wants a skinny weak leg rubbing against them
of course they go. where else are they going to do their bicep curls?
Hahaha, good point
Oh im ahead of you on this one.
Throat is sore as hell, well congested and a headache to boot. Add in no energy after about 4pm and thats me.
One thing that is helping is Optavene (think thats the name), it clears the decongestion pretty quick!
No no, there was a new one in GD not long ago: "I don't do legs as I do karate" !!
Mine is definitely flu like. the worst thing is i'm putting it off with throat sweets and this optravene but not actually trying to recover from it, so come the weekend when i stop working its gonna hit me like a train 
It's body is odd, but that face! It's a confused girl, right?!
Not touched any weights in a little while, had a little break.
Today I found myself free of the wife and kids for almost an hour so went into the garage.
100kg 2x10 powercleans
80kg 2x10 shoulder press
120kg 2x10 box squats
some feet lifted / supported chins
45kg 2x10 db bench
Quite surprised myself tbh, thought it would be harder than it was.
Went for a swim at 9, got in and the pool was empty - perfect.
Then 2 bloaters got in and took up the whole non lane area with their slow swimming. then people came in and used the lanes. GREAT! not.
Just when I thought the women would be a bit more considerate, 9.30 and a bloke comes in with 2 young girls. He goes into steam room, they go into main pool with those long tube floats and start jumping in and smacking each other with them.
Stupid bloke just let them **** around.
I did question the receptionist on children being in there after 9 as I tohught it was meant to be adults only.
Still did 62 lengths though in the hour I was in there.

10-12 reps is a good range.
70 lengths of the pool last night, all breast stroke, in 60 mins.
Banged out 40 lengths in 30 mins but couldnt keep up the pace after that.
Burned over 700kcals apparently, so had to get them back in me afterwards... HUGE bowl of frosties and full fat milk would have been about 500kcal of that I think mmmmmmm
