Feeling Undiminished, Blut Attempts Restoration

Actually, that might help me too. Assuming the remaining tightness in my glute is the muscle still knotted up, rolling around on a tennis ball might help.

My Power Rack and bench arrived today along with another two 20Kg plates. I spent most of the day assembling them. The rack has 40 bolts, each of which needed to be tightened. I'll post pictures tomorrow.

I had a quick bench workout. I've not benched since 26th May, so that's about 10 weeks with no benching, and I was curious how much I'd retained. My best at that time was a double with 140Kg

I got upto a long, slow single with 120Kg and the same again with 125. I think I could had taken 130Kg, too, but that would have been my limit. Not too bad. I did a back-off with 60Kg for 15 reps. That was starting to give me a pump so I stopped there. The backoff wasn't to failure.

Congrat on finally getting it. I woulda been so exhausted from assembling it I doubt I could work out afterwards.

Looking forward to the pics.

OK. Here's some advice: don't squat in jeans. I had (note the operative word) some decent cut-off jeans acting as shorts for the hot weather. I decided that I fancied doing some squats and couldn't be bothered getting changed.

I did my usual warmup of 20, 30, 60Kg. All fine. 100x5, 120x5. Mo problems.

I went down at 140Kg and both legs ripped from knee to groin. I finished my 140x5 for three sets but my wife stood there looking for about thirty seconds when I came out of the stable, clearly wondering what deviant sexual perversions were the real explanation for the ripped shorts, before she cracked up laughing. I doubt I could have ripped them by hand even had I wished to.

lol, as funny as it is, i remember a thread about squatting in jeans a few weeks ago. madcow made the point that jeans that are about to split while in the hole (pun unintended ) would be obviously be under considerable tension. so your in the hole with a heavy weight and it splits. the tension is released suddenly and that could be dangerous.
