Hell yes, sir. Nice pulling!

Great job.

I’m doing well @simo74 @Koestrizer

I’m training for a comp in November and have been better than I’ve been in a very long time. Just taking a break from the process of logging but I will resume at some point for sure.

As far as seated DB shoulder press goes, I think my best was 3x12 @45kg/100lbs. or 17 in one amrap set

Hey Vinny glad you are well and good to know you have a comp coming up. 45’s for reps is crazy for shoulder press.

Good to hear from you buddy

Question for you boss, I must have missed it ages ago but did you make the sandbag or buy it?
You’re the man

I bought the bag off eBay, from an Aussie seller, it was pretty cheap too. I checked and they don’t seem to be on there anymore.

Wednesday 28th September - week 1

Bench
Bar x 10
70 x 5
90 x 3
102.5 x 5 x 3 sets - RPE 7, 7, 7
102.5 x 5+ (226 lbs) - hit 10 reps and was happy with that.
Bench felt toot tonight. Could have been tighter but the pauses were all solid on the first 3 sets.

Bent row
95 x 6 x 3 sets (209 lbs)
95 x 6+ managed 12 reps. Very good

Seated BNP
52.5 x 8 x 3 sets
SS
Hammer curls
20 x 8 x 3 sets
Did 10 reps of BNP and curls on the last set

Great week 1 session. Felt strong and fresh despite some good old doms from the Bulgarians on Monday.

I am going to Thailand in November with my family and a mate and his family. He is 10 years younger than me and a fit young rooster with a good rig. He asks me the other day if I am going to cut a little for holiday or just power through. Based on the 2 family size pizzas I ate for dinner I will let you all decide!!

Maybe it’s some jargon I don’t understand or maybe it’s because of my bad English. Is it about a young and beautiful woman or?
