Thanks mate - hard work seems to be paying off. Bit more graft over the next two weeks and see how it goes. Pecs feel a bit strained after the top single and developed a bit too much flare - so need to watch that. Done loads of soft tissue work on pecs, so should be OK.

New bench shirt arrived too - so start breaking that in next Saturday. This thing is f**king tight!!

incredible bench volume mate. You are doing less in kit than you used to unless my eyes decieve me. Have the raw gains started to become appealing?

Thanks mate. Yeah dropped one or two equipped sessions. Got a raw comp coming up so getting some practice in also heavy equipped work weekly beats you up a bit. Equipped work will start to build towards bodypower now and need to break a new comp shirt in Happy

It's hard to tell these days if you're posting a squat or a bench session, need eagle eyes to get the right lift.

Insane progress in the last 6 months mate. Most I've ever had on bench is 220 with a slingshot and that felt like it was definitely going to kill me when I unracked it, I can't imagine 260 in the hands.

Thanks mate appreciated. It did feel pretty heavy but gradually adjusting to it. 230 and 240 have previously felt like I was going to die but gets better with handling them more. Pads of my hands / heel of hand can be fairly swollen after them though.
