Thanks Mishima & Rob.

Iain I really do not want a cigar shaped Pec , I would not mind a massive Cuban size something else though.

You looked good in that shirt Thing, give it a few months training in it after Scotland Strongman, and I think you will hit some massive weights.

Martin I have no idea how big my chest is relaxed must be 46-48 Inch somwhere between that I think, I really appreciate any and every help you could give me Master, because I do not have a clue.

Went to gym in Dumbarton today, took me half an hour to find the place, what a brilliant gym, and atmosphere, man it is great training in a real gym.

Tried the Log Press, ask this big guy, great fella, and he told me to use the trainer one first to get used to it, but it has a massive bit in the middle, so I gave it a shot, my first time ever.

Log Press Trainer:

5 Sets 1 Rep 50/70/90/100/105KG, I was just curling this up, until my new pal said pick it up and sort of squat down with it then roll it up, so I will try this next time, the 105KG just few up real easy, just cleaning it was a bugger but pressin it was easy, I really though I would not even get the empty thing up by itself.

Close Grip Bench Press Grip About 8-10 Inch Apart:

4 Sets 1/1/1/6 Reps 60/100/140/160KG real easy, did not feel any pain in pec holding this close.

Standing Barbell Curls:

4 Sets 1/1/1/2 Reps 60/80/90/100KG.

Lying Dumbell Fly's:

3 Sets 6/6/6 Reps 15/50/60KG Dumbells, these stil felt light I will try the 70KG Dumbells next time, first time I have ever used Dumbells over 47.5KG, I was shocked how light this was, my mate was saying a few guys mouths where hanging open seeing a wee guy like me doing this.

Will try the stones and the Farmers next time, it is amazing training in a gym that has good bars and great weights, the gym I train at just has smooth bars with no Knurling so everthying feels heavier, also I am sure the old Universal plates are way heavier than they say they are at my gym, really enjoyed the day.

Bodyweight 92KG.
