"I went on to lift 128 kg for 1 rep with extremely poor form but I was lucky enough to survive" - Rob Reynolds

try it mate, 10 on each.
its a beaut!

So that's 230 reps in total!? Might just have to give that a go lol. Lately I've just been doing stuff like hanging leg raises and static holds for my core work, it's all very low volume!

Anyway good luck with your training I'll pop in from time to time!

PS. Any reason you're not deadlifting??
