Post Edited: 04.05.2010 @ 20:19 PM by maca i done my 1st squat session this year yesterday, took it easy on the reps and i wasnt lifting any major weight and yet i feel sore as f**k today SQUATS 60kg x 5 reps 100k x 5 reps 140k x 2 reps 180k x 2 rep (belt on) 180k x 2 reps that was enough for me i could feel my shin hurting a little. 180's felt really light lifting off but heavy on the way out the hole, i need to work more on my leg strength its been a while but overall i was pleased. BTN PP just messing around whilst in the squat rack 60kg x 2rep 100k x 2rep 120k x failed lockout by inches SEATED DUMBELL SHOULDER PRESS (this was done at 75degree 1 notch down from vertical) 32kg x 10 42kg x 10 48kg x 6 PB i think as this is the heaviest dbell in the gym 48kg x 6 | |||

nick said:My opinion is.... you can never have strong enough triceps i much prefer narrow grip/ 2 fingers on the smooth close grip just feels more natural for me..and imo cg has more carry over to the strongman presses its not often you do log press with 3ft wide grip etc i agree with nick, im a notoriously narrow bencher i think you get a better drive off the chest using your tri's and shud's. but what works for one might not work for annother its all trial and error, i still havent found my best position yet and ive been competing for 3yrs | |||
