Another good night

Today is benchpress day.  Been able to get a bit done over the last few weeks with my shirt on so the numbers are getting better. This cycle I want to push myself a bit so I am using chains and have about 20kg deloading on and off.  Manage to get 3 sets of 2 done with 240 plus the chain.  First set was a lot tuff but the next 2 sets were a lot better. Plenty of speed on the first rep but need to work a bit on the second. Lockouts were a little tuff on the second but it is the sort of thing I need to do more. Overall a good train.
A number of other exercises were done and they are coming along as well.

Benchpress: 3 x 2 @ 240kg plus 20kg of chain.
Fat bar floor press with a stop: 4 x 80kg plus 40kg
Close grip benchpress: 4 x 6 @ 100kg
Flat back D/bell ext: 3 x 8 @ 30kg
Band BTN ext: 3 x 10 with the blue band
Shovel Lifts: 3 x 6/side with 5kg on the end.

A good night

Had a good night in the gym tonight. First time in a while that my head has really been into it. Refocus has helped and now I have a really big goal that when it happens will put me up with the best in my country.

Safety bar squats went real well with good setup and reps.  Depth was bang on however speed of the rep could be a bit quicker but I will take it at the moment.
The rest of training went pretty good as well. Feel pretty happy at this stage.

Safety bar squats: 3 x 2 @ plus 30kg of chain
Front squats: 4 x 4 @ 130kg
Bentover rows: 4 x 6 @ 110kg
Cable rows: 3 x 8 @ 96kg (stack)
Warrior twist: 4 x 10 steps @ 10kg each end.
