Yeah Just abit of chalk, my grip seems to be doing pretty well upto 190kg so far, even though iv got smallish hands because im a short arse will see what its like as i move upto 200kg etc, will get to a point where i will need them eventually.
Nice! im a while off attempting 115kg bench yet, maybe 105kg ish in a few weeks.

Yeah it sure is a good feeling, the guy i train with stops me sometimes if iv already made a pb and then want to go for even more, he knows how much of a mood i go in if i fail
I dont know about that, id say my forearms are just regular really, i want big forarms though

I dont know, i guess im just too used to normal squatting, having the bar across my chest and shoulders just feels awkward.

Awkward meaning the bar is pretty much across your wind pipe?

So you managed to push 5 reps with 3 20 plates each side?

Bloody impressive, I cant even touch 2 plates atm.

3x120kg Squat
5x80kg Bench

@80kg. I'm chuffed to say the least
