Your rows, db press and dips are awesome!

 

[GiraffePencils]

It's a shame my squats so bad
Thanks though, it's mainly because they're things I've had worked on in the past, but I'd never squatted before stronglifts

 

[spluff]

u got the same issue as me GP - trained upper body mainly and was strong - taken 7 years off come back and my upper body is progressing quickly but squats is tough at 80kg...... just got to persevere

Also can you put spoilers on your vids as it takes an age to load your training log lol

 

[GiraffePencils]

Yeah, I'm just trying to keep going.
I'll do some spoilers, but on my phone and it's not telling me the markup to do that atm :/

[spluff]

yeah even with the spoiler tags its trying to load all vids which takes a while

With squats I'm nearing my max so I'm not upping the weight every session I up it after 3 so my body is getting used to it instead of increasing each time and just gonna fail....... working so far

 

[GiraffePencils]

That's not a bad idea.

So, Rubbish work gym, Decided to use the leg press, did a pyramid type thing. That I saw an alan thrall's youtube

Leg Press:
do 10 reps,
increase weight,
repeat to failure
work back down.
I have no idea the weights involved here haha

1x5 @ 20Kg
1x3 @ 30Kg

Dips:
No time :/

 

[GiraffePencils]

Still using the useless work gym:

Leg Press:
Stuff....
set it to 80% of my 5rep, did 50 reps.....leg press to squat comparison is strange, it was easy, so started doing sets of 20 reps increasing weight.
got to 115Kg...... I reckon leg press machine's full of **** when it comes to amounts.

1x3 @ 15Kg
