Thanks! Once i get 375x5 I will have maxed out my gym's "weight potential", ie I won't be able to fit any more weight on the bar. But there is another gym I can go to, and I might try out some of the stuff you do like doing more sets at 375x5 , or decreasing rest time, or something like that.

Yeah I hear you. I might have to switch gyms in Bombay when I head back this May. You'll get it don't worry. If you decrease rest time (as in increase density), it will be a huge jump in progress.

Jdid and andalite: I LOVED them! What weight do you guys use? I'm I really felt it in my core, I think it could make my pushup scores go up too

I use 40-50 lbs Dumbbells depending on what I am doing. If I am doing them by themselves its normally 50+ but if it's in a metabolic conditioning circuit, I'll use 40-45 lbs or maybe 50 if I am aiming for lower reps.

Hey man in reply to yuor question about the rows i was getting pissed for three reasons

1. i wasnt really feeling them much
2. i was finding it hard to stay bent over and ended up doing more of a yates row
3. i wasnt progressing in strength much

i was actually already thinking of doing the 5 rep sets but that wouldnt fix problem 1&2 the row i feel best in my back is seated cable row. but im thinking of doing reverse grip rows instead. im not sure yet...

the reason for the cycling is i cycle to the gym and back, i dont know what speed i do it at or anything as its real life cycling, not the stationary bike

292 felt kinda hard, i could have got maybe 7 reps with it, im gonna progress at the usual rate from here and im glad i stopped then 11lb jumps every 9 days in deads because i doubt i could go another week with them
