    your warm ups seem off. it looks to me like you'd have your back fatigued way before you go near you heavy set. id have done something like,
    60 2x5
    80x3
    100x3
    120x2
    140x1, maybe 2
    160x1
    180x1
    ... id say youd have a better chance at the 190 then. just my 2c's


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,115 ✭✭✭✭Nervous Wreck


    Cheers man! My goals were actually the 2 PRs that I hit so I was warming up to those. The 180 and 190 were just kind of an afterthought! Thanks though, I appreciate the advice!

    I wish people would stop asking me to spot them on the bench and then insist that I row the bar for them. It makes me look like an "it's all you bro" tosser.

    I wouldn't, just wait till it's killing them and rack it if that's the case. They won't ask you again haha

    Yeah you looked a bit pissed off so I thought I'd say hello another time! That lad kept trying to rob your squat rack, I'd be pissed off too!

    Yesterday: Playing.

    Failed two attempts at a 105kg bench. Wasn't really expecting to hit them tbh. Was my 4th day in a row training and I'm not sure it's there yet. Pretty sure it's a problem with technique more than strength though, which is not so bad...

    60kg x 5
    60kg x 5
    80kg x 3
    100kg x 5
    120kg x 5 - Walked the bar out. Went for my first rep and felt impact on the right side. Looked over and there was a lad bending down beside my rack and the right side of the bar was resting on his arm. Rabbit in headlights, he goes "Uh, sorry..." What a way to start a set.
    130kg x 3

    Unracked 140kg and put it back. Not tonight.
