              Tough session today, I had a few beers last night and I think it affected my workout somewhat as I ran low on energy towards the end.

              1 x 6 140kg

              Wide grip chins
              3 x 6 bw + 10kg
              1 x 6 bw + 5 kg - ran out of energy on these.

              Cable rows
              3 x 8 stack minus 1 plate

              Cable tricep pushdowns
              1 x 10 84kg
              2 x 8 93.5kg

                      Very breif session today.  Didn't go to brilliantly due to me having no appetite this morning for carb loading.

                      Flat barbell bench press
                      1 x 6 90kg
                      2 x 6 87.5kg
                      1 x 5 87.5kg - should have got 6 but I unloaded the bar funny and had to waste energy adjusting!

                      Incline dumbell bench press
                      1 x 5 40kg
                      1 x 8 35kg

                          Now today I got speaking to a former powerlifter when he saw me doing 1 rep deadlifts, he gave me a few pointers and with his help I almost managed the five plate deadlift!

                            Was trying for a new 1 rep pb. didn't quite go to plan though.
                            1 x 8 60kg
                            1 x 5 80kg
                            1 x 2 95kg
                            1 x 100kg - went up easilly
                            1 x 105kg - went up steadilly.
                            0 x 110kg - not even close, probably only lifted the bar 2" above my chest!

                              Good going with the PBs over the last few sessions.
                              Awesome when trainings gooing so good. Hope the 5 plate deadlift falls soon, then new target will be 500lbs.

                                      thats an excellent deadlift !!!

                                      anyone fairly tall with longer arms has a hard time on the bench , anhyoo , top work , keep it slowly but surely !

                                        Thanks for the kind comment boar, and Lord Monkcheese.. much appreciated :)

                                        Todays session - smashed my previous pb on reps for deadlift which stood at 6 x 172.5kg.

                                        Deadlifts
                                        1 x 6 100kg
                                        1 x 6 140kg - grip nearly went. this shiouldnt have been happening.
                                        1 x 6 165kg - grip again was going. but it felt easy on eslewhere so thought fvck it.  I'll see how many I can bang out on 180k and  which previously stood at 3 - and grip REAL TIGHT
                                        1 x 6 180kg!! I could have managed 7 i recon if it wasn't for my grip going.
                                        attempted 2 reps on 200kg. only managed the 1 though.

                                        4 x 6 BW + 10kg - increase first set to 7 next week. - aim to do 4 x 7 in 4 weeks time.

                                        Cable rows
                                        2 x 6 77kg
                                        1 x 6 87kg
                                        1 x 7 77kg
                                         - these seem lower because I'm using a different attachment that uses more pulleys, this increases the resistance somewhat but feels more comfortable on my wrists.

                                        Cable Tricep pushdowns
                                        1 x 10 95kg
                                        1 x 7 105kg
                                        1 x 7 102.5kg
                                        1 x 10 95kg + drop sets, can't remember what weight or reps though..
