Nellers 12 Mar 9:18am, 12 Mar 2024 42,384 posts	0 Nellers I'm not hitting 40kg on bench at all yet, and I'm only doing 5 x 5. I wish I was big and strong like you, Mac.

Nellers 12 Apr 9:54pm, 12 Apr 2024 42,653 posts	0 Nellers temporary switch to 3 x 8 reps and dropping the weight at the mo after a bit of a twinge in my lower back. I've dropped the back squat to just 25kg but I'm making sure my torso is very upright and I'll build back slowly and very cautiously from here.
