 Old Age Presser Member 75, 7743 posts SQ 0, BP 200, DL 200400.0 kgs @ 105kgs Eq | Heavy Bench Trained with Niall today. Good to have some equipped company. Tight shirt on, nothing to a touch 60 for 10 100 for 5 140 for 5 180 for 3 (6 inches) 220 for 1 (6 inches) 210 for 1 (4 inches) 205 for 1 (2 inches) Training shirt on, everything to a touch 175 for 2 175 for 2 (got a touch on the second that I probably didn't need) 175 for 2, sweet as a nut. Finished with 5 sets of 10 with 11 plates on the dips machine. Happy with today's little session, getting lower and lower with the tight shirt. Down side is that I was so happy to get the last pair with 175 that I took my shirt off and forgot my flush set. Looking forward to triples with 175 on Thursday with the hidden shirt  . | ||

Old Age Presser Member 75, 7743 posts SQ 0, BP 200, DL 200400.0 kgs @ 105kgs Eq | s**tty session today. Went to Total Fitness Aintree, wore the loose bench shirt under a fleece throughout. The plan said 3 x 3 with 175. Nothing to a touch except the 175s. Bench 60 for 10 100 for 5 140 for 5 175 for 2 - hard, third wasn't there 175 for 2 - harder still, needed touch on the second 175 for 1 - actually quite proud of this in a perverse way because I won a real fight to get 1 rep. 140 for 8 Just not there today. pissed three pairs with 175 on Monday AFTER heavy singles. Maybe I thought it would be too easy and paid the price. In my (partial) defence, the bench was very low, the bar was unusually marked and I had trouble working out where to hold it, and I had to almost take the bar out myself. Plus the training vibe just wasn't there. The steam room and hydrotherapy pool were nice, but that ain't what I go to a gym for. Back to home turf and Monday and I'll try again. | ||

Don't know if there's just too much flying about in my little brain or if I'm going down with something. Preacher Curls - 4 plates for 10 reps x 5 sets Low Pulley Cable Curls - 4 plates for 10 reps x 5 sets Lat Pulldowns, normal grip - 11 plates for 10 x 3 sets Lat Pulldowns, wide hammer grip - 12 plates for 10 x 3 sets Rotary Lat Machine - bottom peg for 10 x 3 sets Rowing Machine - 15 plates for 10 x 3 sets SCSR Machine, normal grip - bottom peg for 10 x 3 sets SCSR Machine, hammer grip - bottom peg for 10 x 3 sets Rear Delt Machine - top stack + 3 for 15 x 3 sets Facepulls - 7 plates for 15 x 3 sets. Didn't go mad on any of the weights today, just wanted to get through the workout. Felt a million times better walking out than I did walking in. | ||

Old Age Presser Member 75, 7743 posts SQ 0, BP 200, DL 200400.0 kgs @ 105kgs Eq | Bench Nice little session today. Tight shirt on, nothing to a touch, and 60 for 10 100 for 5 140 for 5 180 for 3 (4 inches) 220 for 1 (6 inches) 220 for 1 (4 inches) - 4 inch PB!!! 210 for 1 (2 inches) - 2 inch PB!! Loose shirt 175 for 2. Finished bench there, was beginning to fatigue. I had in mind a 205 touch but it was so much of a struggle to touch 210 that that wasn't on. The 220 was sweet as a nut, so much so that my first reaction was to check the bar for a misload. Dips Machine - 11 plates for 10 reps; 12 plates for 10 reps Dips - 3 sets of 10. Not done proper dips for years because of the shoulder, nice to be able to do them again. Facepulls - 5 sets of 10 with 6, 8, 8, 8, 8. | ||

I had problems for nearly two years, took cissus and it more or less cleared up in 6 weeks. Could be coincidence, but I think it's well worth a try Jamie. Powder tastes vile, get the capsules mate, and take 3 a day. I used myprotein . | ||
