Yeah, thanks, aiming to be able to do 100 full push ups with no rest (used to be able to do it easily when I was younger training Thai Kick Boxing and other martial arts).

Also want to be able to do 10 full correct form wide grip chin ups and 50 body weight dips.

So going to start concentrating on these exercises on my 'rest' days.

I also want a bone crushing grip, so have started doing grip training, will outline my grip training here further shortly.
 
Hate chin ups with a passion, my body finds them hard to do, probably because I weigh a 110-115kg (have not weight myself in months so not 100% sure on my exact weight at the moment)

But will get there, losing a bit of weight and doing chins will help with that
 

It certainly does help! lol I found that out for myself

Doing the negative movement is even harder and is what I imagine death might feel like? lol

WORKOUT A

One set of 30 reps of each exercise performed.

1) Barbell Squat - 60.2kg

2) Flat Bench Flyers - 35lb (15.9kg) dumbbells

3) Dead Lifts - 72kg

4) Lat Pulldowns - 45kg

8) Ab Crunches

Followed by:

Squats:
105.4kg x 6
123.4kg x 3
141.4kg x 1
154.8kg x 1 new PB by 4.4kg Who says light high rep training does nothing to build strength??

Seated Calf Raises:
45.2kg x 20, 10 calfs are burning as I type this

Done on my new calf raise machine I picked up on eBay for $50 a couple of days ago...looks a bit rough, but works beautifully is solid as a rock and will clean up like new once I get around to doing it up.

 
Great buy on the calf machine bro! I saw that as well, that was the one at bexley, how is it to use? Looks like a funky design
 
Will do Bella, might be a while though have a few other projects going as well as work, which is a great intrusion on life

Great to use, does not need much weight due to the leverage of the arm I think, it's the exact same design as the one at a gym I used to train at many years ago so I knew what it would be like.

For $50 I could not pass it up, if I find a better one it won't be hard to sell anyway, will hit it with the wire wheel one of these days and give it a fresh coat of paint
