felt good after refuelling and eating lots over the weekend still keeping up with the milk as well dont know if its just in my head but this seems to have really helped (i suppose it has upped my calorie intake over the day) any way thats a long way of saying that my weights jumped up again today have really noticed a big increase in strength over last couple of workouts.

was really pleased with my increase in the squats i thought i could have gone up a bit more but thought that i would stick with this for now and then i would increase it later so as not to rush it too much. i was glad to get my weight up in my shoulder press as well.

question:
---------
I am really paranoid about doing dips as i had a really bad experience with them and i couldnt train for about 4 weeks so i was wondering what you guys would suggest as another replacement for the dips as an accessory lift for the triceps, would you receommend push downs or close grip bench? didnt know if was overdoing it with a close grip bench or not? i am finding that my biceps have been growing but my triceps have always been a stuborn point for me so something to help fill them out would be great! :-) thanks in advance
