Awesome work!
Now I have to go bench 160 lol
SWEET chest session tonight, the energy came out of nowhere, no idea where from considering i'm roughly 7lb lighter than a month ago
BB Bench - 60kgx15 | 100kgx8 | 115kgx8 | 130kgx6 | 150kgx1 | 155kgx1 (unspotted) NEW PB! - I reckon a proper 1RM session will see 160kg.
Incline DB - 40kg DB's x8 | 44kg DB's x 8 | 48kg DB's x8
Wide gripped dips - 3x20xBW
Cable flys - 3x8x21.5kg each side upto 26.25kg each side
Tri Work - Push downs | SC's w/ CGBP | Cable kicks
Felt great!! Haven't drunk in a few weekends, and feeling a lot better for it!
Tweaked my back doing - wait for it - LEG PRESS last night o.O Trying to bring my knees in to my chest, pushing my knees out and WHOOSH, ass slips down the seat an inch or two,so took the load on my lower lumber. Sharp pain all night, and mixed with the onset of man flu, I was in bed at 9pm last night.
Feeling much better today thankfully, so onwards for cardio and abs tonight. Man flu is still a female dog though.
So it was you who left the dumbells all over the floor last night then?
Beastly lifting fella, how long till your holiday?
Haha na wasn't me mate, I always put them back!
And cheers! Would love to hit a 160kg BP and a 220 DL before travelling (flying out second weekend in July)
Get a video next time! I'd love to see your technique.
Ofcourse! It was spur of the moment this time round, next proper 1RM will make sure of it.
Loosely speaking, a slight arch, enough to stick a flat hand through just about and when bringing the weight down, brought down to chest level (1/2" off) then pressing it back up as explosive as possible.
My form isn't perfect, I'll never claim it to be![]()

Why not down to your chest? What's the harm in the extra half inch?![]()
Do you put weight on to your traps at all?
I totally prefer Leg Press to back squats tbh (HEATHEN, I hear them cry) - first time I've been caught out by the seat. In hindsight, makes you wonder why they don't make the seats a non-slip material.
I don't want to bounce, if I fail the rep I wanna fail the rep knowing that I can't do the weight rather than bounce it and 'cheat' the rep up, this 1/2" is done purposely
There is about a 1 - 1.5 second pause too before pressing back up
Sounds good, it's just helpful to see as we are of similar strength/weight. My 155 looked silky smooth but my 160 after that was weaksauce!
