You're really strong on those inclines!

Looking good.

I take back what I said about you...It seems you have a year or two left in the tank yet.

Strong inclines Captain. What do you do if you get stuck under that bar with no spotter around? You are still training in the garage?

strong work dude

Im in a power rack mate . I have the safety bars quite low for a full rom , so if I do fail I have to squeeze out .
Its a pain in the arse at times as I often have to unload the bar , lift it back on the bench , and then reload .

Cheers pal,

BUT Rabs weights are higher on some exercises .....not happy

Very strong!

Rab's doing very well, but he does have a whole gang of people helping him train....hair stylist etc.!

I hear Max Factor is spotting for him now.

I got my highlights done while benching 120kg one time.

Was that while having the halo around your head of just a plastic bag over it?

AH yes, you know your hair care Mr T!

It was the foil bits. It was to long for the pokey cap at that point.

Ahh, good to see your lift wasn't foiled by your foils.

Looking stronger mate, keep it up!

LOL!!!

Dc going well and Im really enjoying it

Inclines - bit of a problem here . Part 1 of the set no problem with 110 kg but after the pause I cant get the bar off the rack . Would be a breeze if I had a training partner . So I have to use a lighter weight so that I can do parts 2 and 3 . Ill just have to go up slowly


Front pulldowns - up to 75 kg

Dorian rows - was using 100 with no problem . But after reading dorians critique of Dugdales back training Ive dropped the weight to 80 and really concentrated on the contraction and controlling the weight . Back was sore the following day so guess dorians right !

Squats - knee feels good but atg have gone down to 100 for a set of 10 . The DOM is terrible . Still felt good to be back doing them .

Today is inclines ,shoulder press ,front pulldowns and ??? It says deadlifts but to be honest I think these are what damaged my back last time . I may try db rows or just do dorians again .


DC is very hard . I sweat like a pig when doing it . The workouts are taking about 45 mins . Would probably be less if I didnt need to move equipment . I can fully understand why Rab felt burned out on this . Its very enjoyable though !! Love it

This weeks workout music - Greatest hits of faith no more (except the shite cover of easy WTF)

Bench ( not really a fan of flat benching )

100 x 7/4/2

arnold press 21 x 8/4/2

front pulldown 80x 7/5/3

dorians 80 x 7/4/2 - too light already
88 x 8/2/1

Didnt rate the benching . Will change to inclines or even flyes
Arnold press as they use less weight than presses and forearms sore
Dorians - love them !!
