Titanic Thighs Bigger Arse
Bench - Week 2 Day 2
Well, I tried the bar-only squats. I did two sets of five as back squats and two more as front squats. I'm not yet ready for these. I'll throw them in again on Friday with just the bar and see what next week brings. I held a deep position for a long stretch. It hurt but in a good way.
The Incline Bench went better today. I did a little more in the volume phase and was pleased to get 90Kgx5 since it was beyond me last week. The 95 was a struggle after which I reckoned that 102.5 was on the cards but little more. 105Kg is probably a PR considering how little I've done this exercise. 107.5 wasn't happening and so I dropped down to 105.5 which I just couldn't lock on the right side. After that I called it a day and did my back-off sets.
Dips were hard work but better than last week's.
Don't mention pullups. I think I'll start every workout for a while with pullups.
The curls went OK. The set at 60Kg would be best described as cheat curls but it's all good. It's great to have my own curl rack.

Re: Titanic Thighs Bigger Arse
good hurting is good, lol. 
Nice lifting borham!
Great job hittin' 102.5 this week!! (or since last Incline day)
Pullups... now that's with under hand grip... and Chinups are overhand... or are the 2 terms interchangable and the grip will vary?

Excellentblut wump said:Cheers, sarge.
Actually, I used more of a hammer grip so I just called them pullups.
Using the hammer or nuetral grip is the best of both worlds
lol... i forgot about that option.

Tornados Twist Bent Arches
Bench - Week 2 Day 3
I went for a supinated grip on the Pullups so called then Chinups.
Bench was a mixed bag but I'm happy with it. The real goal was to get the 137.5Kg single which I did. I almost got the fifth rep at 125 but lost a long struggle with it. I'll get it next week. The 140Kg attempt was a disappointment: I only got the bar about a third of the way up. I'd even gone to the trouble of removing the small change and slapping a full plate on each end. The attempt at 138 was about the same. I expected better since 137.5 had gone smoothly. I guess I ran out of steam.
Overall, I'm happy with progress after what is really just ten days.
