    I was thinking this will be my workout for the next few weeks before I decide what to do next. All of the first four lifts will be 3x5. The rest will vary. Any comments welcome. Its very similar to my 5/3/1 routine. Maybe too similar, might get a bit boring.

    Squats
    SLDL
    Back extension
    Ab pulldown/leg raises

    Bench
    BOR
    Incline Bench
    Pull ups
    Curls

    Deadlift
    Good morning
    Back extension
    Ab pulldown/leg raises

    OHP
    Chin up
    Dips
    Curls

    I hope to workout 3/4 times a week. I'm also going to stick in a home metcon session or two in there on my off days.

    maccyd's are doing a double quarter pounder (or half pounder to normal people) atm. Maybe they've always had it but I only saw it last night for the first time. Apparently its possible to ask for a pounder burger but its not on the menu, you ask for a double 1/4lb'er with two extra burgers or something like that....

    Best lunch break ever today. Found one of these badboys installed in my work gym! I'd stopped using the place for ages as all they had was a smith machine. Followed this up with a steak sub from subway one of the lads picked up for me, tasty.

    As if that wasn't good enough Dublin just beat Tyrone. Not a bad aul day for having to work 12 hours.

    Very nice.

    Where you planning on getting the bumpers, these are the cheapest I've seen. Would your bar take being dropped though.

    The drifter, I have all the same gear as you, cage, cable attachment, plates and bar etc etc

    Very sturdy bit of kit, have mine 3 years I think at this stage and they're still going strong

    Only thing is, weigh the bar. Mine is 17kg and not 20. It's not a big deal as I just leave 1.25kg on each side and the big collars on and that makes it 20.
