I know what you mean Jon. i always get to about 30-32kg a hand and can't get the buggers up. I might just keeping upping the reps this time when I get to 30 kg-like you said, a great exercise.

anyway, this morning was a bit of pre-breakfast cardio (35 minutes on the elliptical trainer) followd by some shoulder pre-hab, and neck and ab work. In and out in 45 minutes-all good.

Try some dumbell power cleans to get used to getting them up, and you could push press the first rep. If you're sitting down this won't apply obviously.

Rob, I can't do the push press thing because here in solitary the ceiling is unfortunately too low so I have to do them sitting down!

I'm liking the home training setup. I thought mine was a little 'rustic' until I saw yours. Hardcore!

There's a bit of a knack to getting them up sitting - basically I sit down with them on my knees, and "kick" them up to the shoulder one at a time. You can quite easily handle 40kg+ with a bit of practice.

just get your training partners to hand them to you, if your on your own then you have a problem.

didn't have time to update yesterday;It was:

squat 102kg
5
5
5

bench 94kg
2!!!
5
5
5

I wasn't mentally ready on the 1st set of bench. i unracked it thinking about something else and expected it to be light for some reason. It felt heavy as **** and after struggling through 2 reps I reracked it and started again.

Deads 140kg
5

Not a stellar session to be honest. My bench technique is also horrible, but I'm not sure how to improve it.

yesterday' session, and a mighty solid one it was tooHappy

Squats 106kg
5
5
5

bench 96kg
5
5
5 1st one of this set was paused.(never in doubt)

deads 145kg
5

I was set for 95 on the bench and 142 on the squats, but I felt good and just bumped it up.

I think now would be a good time for a deload week. I will do Saturday and Tuesday a light full-body workout and then get back to heavy progression at the end of next week. All is good.
