    Was hoping to work up to 140kg x5 but every set I did was very slow and everything felt achy so I decided not to go past 130kg.

    Wasn't Dave, he prefers to curl the actual Back Extension machine which is acceptably bad-ass.

    Not trying to be the "no curling in the squat rack guy" but...

    More pullups, then rows.

    For no reason at all, my bench has gotten a lot better in the last few weeks. Must have been something in the air in Ironside tonight considering the insane amount of weight being pulled and pressed.

    Good work man I just casually had a passing look at your squats there a little while back I think with a few tweaks there could a lot more there. If your interested let me know next time your in.

    From yesterday: daveyc21 had a look at my squat and gave me a few pointers on how I could improve and hopefully add a few kg's in the next few weeks. So from now on my stance is widened, throwing on a belt and the biggest adjustment- cutting squat depth by a few inches. Will be using a box for the next while to reset to this new depth.
