Awesome. The 120kg was the first time I had someone there, I workout at my work gym and it's empty so should something happen, and things happen sometimes then I'd be in a spot of bother.
Good on you though, good stuff

This. Even when I have a spotter I bench in a half or full rack. Snoochies might not have the infrastructure...

I am thinking that is the case.
Yeah same, dont really consider any other way to play.
I hate when people use the excuse of no safties in comp. Bullshit. All feds have bench face savers, and in PA if you squat north of 200...5 fucking spotters.
Alot more off putting than a couple of safety rails lol.

Agree 100 percent. It's the reason I haven't bought a competition bench yet - partly due to space then partly due to wanting a quality one with adjustable spotters... Making the cost somewhat prohibitive. Means my Power Rack is the centre of my life in the gym - as it should be!
So I started lifting back in November, was 105kg, mostly fat.
To date I've dropped 5 kilos and improved my lifts from.
Bench: 85kg > 122.5kg (x5)
Squat: 110kg > 150kg (x5)
Deadlift : 120kg > 177.5kg (x5) *my work gym doesn't have any more weight than that
O/Head Press: 55kg > 77.5kg (x5)
Row: 65kg >90kg (x5)
My primary goal has been to reduce fat which has been slowly dropping overtime. Have cleaned up the diet and eating around 2200 cals per day. I work in an office so not overly active but I feel very drained at the moment. The strength progress feels like it will come to a grinding halt at the moment and also my upper back knotted up yesterday when attempting an O/Head Press.
As some followed my marathon effort last year and barely lost a kilo, it does show that strength is best.
Cheers

Thanks.
Started with starting strength and then onto stronglifts 5 X 5.
Was looking at Markos beginner program though as well though for something different.

Hit a 180 gym squat a couple of days ago, still well behind my deadlift but I'm glad it's finally moving up again

Thanks, was with the red 25kg plates so it didn't look too scary.
Next time will probably be in my local with the 4 blues per side

PB Deadlift on the weekend 240 (20kg up), and Squat 190 (10kg up) at the PTC sydney novice comp. I'm 105kg but happy with these lifts for my first time after switching to PL only in January.
Had 1 full week off lifting to remove fatigue which was extremely hard to do (had to spot my wife and look at weights without lifting them the whole week!). I now believe in the tapering/deloads though it works
No more PBs for a while after this, going back into volume training..

I've been in hiding, recovering from a middle back issue from late 2015. That was sorted late last year, I then competed in a sprint triathlon in March, and have finished 2 6 week programs, and equal rep PB'd squats 3×3 @ 140 and DL's 3x3 @ 160, touch and go. Finally have strength back up where i was.
