Cheers Sob / Walker, loving benching at the moment, I'd hope for a crack at 210 before the end of the year, I think it will be there on a good day when I get 190x3. I need to do it soon anyway or no doubt Sob will cruse past me!

I've benched 4 times again this week and have gone pretty heavy for three of them. I'm definitely feeling it a bit, but still managing to put some decent numbers up. Also, I don't feel as tight as I did last week. The backs a lot better but is still giving me a bit of stick on some exercises. I'll see how it goes but I might be able to start back training normally again next week.

First time squatting since I injured my back. My form felt s**t, and my strength felt s**t, but there was no pain. With any luck I'll be able to get a couple of decent squatting sessions in next week and build up from there. Think I could have got up to 180x3 or possibly 200x3 tonight.

I'll be very glad for the rest this weekend, I've trained bench 4 days a week for the last three weeks now, gone heavy most sessions and it's starting to get to me a bit on some sessions. While it's been fun hopefully I'll be able to get back to training normally again next week.

80kg x1 turns
120kg x1 turns - starting to feel heavy
160kg x1 turns
217.5kg (Doddys comp weight) x1 3/4 turns
This felt brutal, I couldn't breath and moving was very hard. After staggering the distance I eventually had to put it down when I started seeing stars and felt like I was going to pass out.

So yeah, like I said, a nice easy session Roll-Eyes

Done.

Didn't feel great going into tonight. Chest and shoulders are still feeling tight from the last 3 weeks hard pressing and Monday / Tuesdays session. Once I got warmed up though I felt great, I just feel a little apprehensive going heavy when I'm tight, it feels like an injury waiting to happen.

Wanted to do some light squats but didn't have time :/
