Pleased with not losing any strength after 2 weeks of illness, s**t diet and no workouts! Here's hoping to it carrying over to the DLs tomorrow...

Good stuff mate, you'll get 95 next week and then if you have a consistent month of benching I think you'll be good for the magic 100.

lol, didn't realise you had such a long break from gym work, and then being good for a new PB thats great!

You werent far off, strength is there, couple weeks of building towards it and you will nail it.

Good stuff!

Yeah as the others have said, the strength's there. Thats for sure.

Keep at it!
