I was going to suggest the cgbp and some tricep pushdowns.

I swear there is more acronyms flying around here than in the average military camp. Would really be lost without google.

Boyce, that is a very solid bench you do there, am sure the 125 kg will come in the near future.

It may not, Iā€™ve gone into a bit of a calorie deficit and am slowly dropping some weight. It may have to wait till after the T-ransformation challenge.

Oh? Yeah, Iā€™m in the same boat, trying to loose a few pounds for the challenge.

Iā€™m also starting to get a bit of shoulder soreness after benching, so may be wise to stop maxing out for a while, especially as recovery will be a bit limited by less calories going in.

Probably wise. Although shoulder pain after lifting is just how it is one gets older - at least in my experience.

Still working hard I see mate. Howā€™s everything going ?

Good thanks, looking forward to gyms reopening here on April 12th. Training at home is OK, but I miss my routine of training in the morning. Iā€™ve dropped about 10lbs in the last few weeks, hoping for a few more to go before the end of the T-ransformation.

Nice squat pr.

Thanks, feel pretty confident Iā€™ll be able to get 4 plates by the time gyms reopen here. I got 4 plates for one a while ago, but it was an ugly grinder.

Bought some Versa gripps, which arrived mid workout, so did a few rows to try them out. Really impressed. Think they may help with the elbow tendonitus, as the physio thinks itā€™s caused in part by gripping things hard whilst moving the elbow joint. Itā€™s amazing how little grip pressure you can exert and still feel glued to the bar. Felt really good on rows, I could really focus on pulling with elbows cue and not have to worry about grip.

That is some nice pressing there :+1:

1424

Thanks, was playing around with grip width, felt good going a bit narrower than usual. Might try the elusive 85kg next week.
