Top set of bench from tonight 115kg for a little PR.
Felt like a long pause at the time. Wonder what @MarkKO and @littlesleeper will have to say !!

It’s always fun when your program reaches one of these peaks and you get to see your progress. Congrats on another PR!
There isn’t anything to complain about there.
Thanks man, you have no idea how much that made me smile. Oh wait a minute, you love this shit more than me so you know exactly how much I smiled.

Thanks mate. The pause felt real long and the press felt way slower in real life than it looked in the video!

Looking pretty smooth man, nice PR
Nice bench! White light from me.
Expect to pause that long in comp, better to be surprised by a quick press command than a long one!

Great session. Was feeling really beat up going in. Neck was a bit locked up, lower back was tight. But once I started pulling it all dissolved away and the session went great. Really happy with another 5kg PR on deadlift tonight.

Didn’t look quite as hard as it felt. Definitely seen grindier reps.
I love seeing different peoples’ deadlift setups and hype-ups.

I probably had a little more in me, but the RPE 10 was because I was not sure I would have got another rep without it being real ugly!!
Nice PR Rob! Save the RPE 10 for a lift that at least looked difficult. Things are getting strong in here!

No kidding! Looked like one of his warm up sets… my rpe10’s look waaaaay worse lol. Fave turns blood red, eyes go red, some grunting, stars flashing after the lift while I wait and see if I’m gonna pass out or not

Thanks @littlesleeper and @wanna_be it’s funny his lifts always look different to how they feel. Looking back it didn’t really look that hard.
