    Annoyingly they use both, but i'm sure that's right as kg is always on the left lbs on the right. But will check.

    Been doing 130 for awhile, but wanted to really push it. So tried 150. Managed 10 reps, then another 10 but with a 1min break in the middle.
    I start light (70) for 20 reps, then go heavy as i can 130/150, for 20 reps at least twice. then drop to 110 for 2x20. Been doing that awhile but the gym was lovely and quite on crimbo eve, so really pushed.

    Chest press (on a machine) of 100kg for 2x20 too. Not normally one i do, as i find the machine doesn't fit me well. Even with the seat at it's lowest, i'm sitting to high.

    I train 3 times a week: chest and tri's on a monday, back and bi's on weds and shoulders and legs on a fri. However, we did chest and bi's tonight. Even with an xmas belly I managed 6 reps at 120kg bench press so was impressed.
    I cant diet for shit, so thats something I want to try and address in the next couple of months. Currently 16st but I have quite a gut at the mo

    That's a good bench staggy!

    i was at the gym at 8am today was proper dead. January is a nightmare, I've been considering swapping to a different gym but I'll hold off until March or so. Pay the same as I do now but it's an mma based place so has a gym and lots of different fighting style classes. I've been wanting to stop the gym and use my own stuff but the classes i want to go to will work out cheaper just getting a membership.

    got some new protein today also, an accidental purchase.. Unflavoured, it's proper mingin. I'll have to mix it half and half with some other stuff.

    Give over bloody stacked!!

    Had a bash at 140kg a while back but can only do a couple of reps.
    Id say my upper back is probably my strongest part, at the moment Im managing to do a set of 8 reps at 100kg seated row, dunno how long Il keep that up for though

    Really first day back after pulling a muscle in my neck. So this was the first thing i checked out.

    Every bit of kit in the gym has Kg on the left of the pin, LBS on the right.... Bar the Lat pull down machine. Its around the other way! Really not impressed!!
    So i've been doing 70kg 3x20 reps. Isn't enough so sat and did 1x20 then 3x10 reps of 81Kg (180LBS) Had a week off so sure i can do more.

    Plus it was busy and god so loud with people chatting while kinda doing something... Roll on Feb when it quietens off a bit.

    Oh and my legs.... So sore!
