Many thanks Ian, at least you can probably retire in the near future, I've only felt like settling down and having kids in the last couple of years, so left it pretty late however both Lisa & myself now feel ready to give up our time to kids rather than resent them like some people seem to do. We'd like to have another in the next couple of years so I'll be working 'till I'm 100 :-(

At least they'll keep us youngGrin

Tricep pushdowns 20, 15, 15 @ 35kg all short rests

The top set on bench worked out the same weight as last cycle but it's just how the %ages work out when you add the 2.5kg to the training max to recalculate when using girly weights but hey ho follow the plan.

Thanks mate, it's looking more bodybuilding style on the 5 3 1 at the moment but will hopefully lay the base for some heavier stuff later in the year.

We're going to get stuck into the names when we've had the 20 week scan on March 8th, when we know if he is a he or a she Happy

I think we'll avoid names like Gervaise, Randy, and Cletus thoughGrin
