Bench Day

Pretty solid day again today, week 6 of this program and its starting to get a bit tougher but manageable. Bench felt good today, leg drive felt better and my forearm didn’t give me too much grief. Did a bunch of chins after, I love chins for size gains, nothing better, finished with a bunch of triceps and forearm work.Solid day.

DE Squat Day

Squatted vs the blue band again today, bit of a clusterfuck really but went well in the end! I screwed up and forgot to lower my box from doing stepups during the week! Kept volume low tonight and worked up to about 350lbs + bands for a single, I came up wobbly and couldnt rack the BB (see vid). Did pin GMs next, the squats gassed me cos these were weak, shoulda repped alot more at the weight used.Finished with DB SLDLs.Solid day.

Vid?

My bad

Heres another of the new gym for anyone interested

New rack looks really nice. Seems like it has quite a bit of adjustability and very solid. When I buy a house one day (own a condo right now ... arg) I think I'll start building myself a gym.

Are you a machinist by trade?

na dub, I am not good with stuff like that mate!

Ah you just said you took the hooks to work and machined them in your vid ... or so I thought.
