tman, yeah i'm about 10% at most I'd say. Thanks JT. #'s coming along nicely now but my back is still not right for deads.
Luq, man, I can't believe you don't have a proper dip belt. You need one for chins and dips. Hanging 100lbs around your neck can't be good!!!

Went out Thursday night, so didn't train Friday. Went out Friday night but trained Saturday. Went out Saturday and then Sunday as well. I'm feeling it today. 4 days on the sauce. This week will probably be a write off too, as I have to go to a horse racing festival from Wednesday to Sunday. Woah my liver will not be happy.
Went to a different gym than usual on Saturday and benched what appears to be a new PB. I really think the plates were lighter than my usual gym so it's hard to know what I was really benching. But here it went:
Bench:
135 x 10
200 x 7
220 x 7
242 x 3 - this was supposed to be 110kg, but it felt too light, so I'm saying it was about 235

Dips:
BW x 12
BW+45 x 7
BW+90 x 6 x 2

 

[AngryMuscles]

times it with 2.2 and there ya go ^^

good numbers.

 

[irishdave]

it didn't feel like 110kg mate, felt too light, or else the plates in my regular gym are off? i'd love to fucking weigh them, they were cassell plates i was using saturday and apparently they're quite accurate so i dunno!

 

[tman55]

what you weigh right now irish one?

you dip way more than you bench.? don't see that alot.

 

[irishdave]

dip way more htan i bench? I only dip 100lbs x 5, my bench max has to be at least 240 now

 

[irishdave]

oh yeah, and the scale said 196 this morning, I'd say I'm really about 193lbs - everybody is commenting though, lots of ppl think I've gained a significant amount, some say 20lbs - but it's definitely not that much

 

[tman55]

dip way more htan i bench? I only dip 100lbs x 5, my bench max has to be at least 240 now

add your bodyweight to the 100 and what do you get irish one? i say you have great dips compared to your bench. good work on those.
