I did more on the funny pulldowns but was trying to find the optimal weight and chopped and changed so much that iv forgotten the weights.

Iv an odd pain in my lower back but such is life..

On the close grips, i think the first set was 17 with a lockout fail at 18
my spotter thought it was 16 with a fail at 17..................... so i hit him over the head with a 25kg plate

and am taking it as being 17 with the fail on 18!! it was a ****ty lockout fail as in an inch from the top, pretty sure i could see a 20 rep on this next week if i push it.

got a 127.5 up yesterday asy enough but was in no fit state to be lifting weights and didnt even bother pushing it.

I think im going to die soon!! there are chocolate roses currently oozing out of my pores and an extremely uncomfortable pain emminating from deep in side my bloated stomach, i also have a strange skin sensitivity and i cant see very well, other wise christmas was excellent and i hope to be back training well below par sometime in the next year or so!

Happy New Year
Barf..

You've a good base to work from in all fairness, some nice lifting numbers too.

What's with flat back benching? When I bench I'd always try to keep my back as flat as possible, I've seen lads arch themselves and almost push up from their shoulders if that makes sense?, you lads able to elaborate?

its called the collins arch, to get high weight press, the bar do not go down as far, so its easier to push it away, the same as it it not pushed straight up but at an angle, all powerlifters use it.

Just a little observation/ word of warning.

I've always held the misconception that people who wear that ridiculous arm band mp3 holder were twats! however i came within half a milimeter of mangelating (sic!) my ipod last night while setting up for DB Benches and am now going to invest in one!

(i think i can manage to stay away from the muscle vest- lycra short combo for a while tho!)
