Yeah true. Plus you are looking for more stability than explosive power to jerk it up.

Why is it frustrating? If you are growing then that is all that matters. DOMS is not a sign of growth
Indeed. I've often practiced front squats without holding onto the bar - up to 100kg I can do it ok (just). Gets dodgy though
Yeah, arms out in front and watch the bar roll away from you as you lean too much
Scissor squats? Sounds odd! Will have a look for them later!
No one home when I got home today so did some back work.
Deads first 200kg 5x5 \o/
That kinda killed my forearms /o\

Didn't you feel like putting a 2.5kg plate on just to make it 1000lb?
If you have space to do BORs then you have space to do deads 
Shrugs belong to shoulder session
You could swap out some chest for dips, also that's a lot of work in 1 session on your tris. I'd prefer 2 tri exercises but go heavier on them.

That would be more for tris than chest, maybe pressups off a swiss ball? Try them with only one leg on the ball and it will help your core also
That's a nice simple routine
I was gonna mention the rotation and the lifting of the outside of the right foot a little, its a tiny tiny thing though and icecold has picked it up already.
good work though fella, you are lifting so very strong for your weight

Flat feet is a curse, don't think I can ever remember having an arch tbh!
If it was a solid bench then you could get away with putting it on a step to make it incline / decline. If its not a solid bench (and £55 suggests it wont be) then I'd prefer to spend more on a better bench.
What's your budget?
Some good deals here : http://www.powerhouse-fitness.co.uk...free-weight-systems/adjustable-weight-benches
I've got this one: http://www.powerhouse-fitness.co.uk/bodymax-cf328-deluxe-flat-incline-decline-utility-bench.php
~£90!! good deal that imo.

Yeah that would work lol.
I doubt you will get more off than they are offering now tbh.
If you are ordering lots you could ring them and haggle for more off, but not on one item.

Did you find that effecting your chest workout?
I like to do tris with back, then you can work them better than when paired with chest imo

Who cares about staff, just get on and lift
slim fit is for little boys from places like them. besides, other than chavs who wears bench?!
definitely not from what I have seen. Bench is sold in low end sports shops as 'designer', therefore chavs buy it
only 12" ?!?!?! thats a huge difference considering the 'average' man is 6"
and yeah, XL is small
chest today. horrible warm feeling in my wrist, not good.
gonna have to start either wearing the wrist wraps for anything over 100kg or just move to dumbells only from now on. quite depressing and demotivating, made for a crap chest workout.

Unfortunately this is the sort of nagging injury that i keep putting off having sorted. have had physios look at it and the general concensus is that surgery is needed due to the mobility and weakness of ulnaris muscle. l-glut wont be helping that
yeah, i'll be able to start the ball rolling soon. cant go having no usage of 1 hand as we've got a 3 month old that needs quite a bit of attention at the mo lol. she comes first, i'll just have to suffer in my training
