My wife is ok, she knows what she's doing.. but she's one of the few who actually trained at the proper school in Bangkok, and it's months of study. A lot here just get some random 'pay £200 for half a day training' type thing and an 'official' looking certificate in Thai that no sod can understand, but it looks all Thai and exotic so it must be good? lol

Should've been doing a singles day today with Chris but he woke up Sunday with his back in spasms so a no training for him. I decided to stick with fives as i was training alone today, managed to get Dom to spot me on the 115 and 120 set, and was very thankful to report i didn't need his assistance on either set Grin (Although the hand out was nice!).
My best 5 recently has been 115 and i remember the last rep was a bas***d!!!The 120 was much better and solidWink

First time iv'e squatted in months...Had to do alot of stretching just to get under the bar, the movement did'nt seem to bad tbh but every set my elbows were in pain.
I think this is down to the lack of flexibility in my shoulders plus what i did to them with the injury, anyway apart from that they were ok for what they were Roll-Eyes

Happy with the small progress on bench again,ill take any small victories at the moment. My mate Chris was in and is still suffering with the trapped nerve but looked better than he was so decided to bench, did really well considering.
I think id be really happy with a 140 bench by the end of the year, i reckon to achieve that im gonna have to do a very steady and strong 130x3...Anyway onwards and upwards Wink

good numbers mate. Progress will inevitabvly be smaller the higher the number gets. But it will continue if you do...
