Tuesday
I keep looking at the PowerTec Lat Tower... stop it! At least until some more money swells the funds lol

Close Grip Speed Bench Press
I felt, 2 or so sets in, that I can and will go heavier than this soon
to 89.5-kilos x 4 x 6 reps

Two Hand Pinch
to 108.2-kilos x 4 x 1 reps - faffed about with hand positioning. I did a half rep 3rd attempt - changed the hand a tad and did a solid rep
 
Tuesday pm
The workout ended up being between 3pm and 4pm
Vulcan Gripper work
to
L/H: 5/5 x 8 x 1 reps = level 15 or a CoC 3
R/H: 5/5 x 1, 5/6 x 1, 6/6 x 7 x 1 reps = level 18 or about a CoC 3.5.

I gave my CoC 3.5 a quick squeeze. I need to get to around level 20 I think to crush it.
 
Just done a deal, with the items to be collected tomorrow on the following:

Lying Leg Curl
Leg Extension Machine (I might sell this as I already have a good one)
Low Cable Row
Lat Pulldown (I might wanna sell my little cable gym).

Everything is well used so will require cleaning, stripping down and rebuilding / lubing etc.

I've moved some kit around to make room.
 
Nice snag!! Dont get too excited though with the lubing Mobster!

LOL. Just a bit more.... she glides in slow now... (full metal jacket reference) lol. The boys are on their way back with some of it now.

Thursday
Seated Press

Bar is 27kg hence loads.

Hammer DB Curls
20kg x 12 reps, 40kg x 12 reps, 60kg x 12 reps, 80kg x 10 reps (heavy as hell)
Issues: the handle is standard size (so about 1 and 1/16th of an inch) vs the gym handles being thicker. I'm not using a strap which I usually would (more so on the 90's). The bar and collars weight is not included.

TPD on my LPD (feeling it out)
6 x small plates (@30kg x 12 reps, +2 big plates (@50kg) x 10 reps, +4 big plates (70kg) x 8 reps
Issues: don't like how it runs and I still wanna use spilt pins on the guide bars. I also prefer a ez style cambered bar for pressdowns. The kit came with a bunch but not a cambered bar.

Started training at 8.30am as the GF was supposed to be over at 9am. That didn't happen so... grrr

I need my wallet sewing shut.

In the morning I pre-ordered (delivery in June) 6 x 20kg discs from Cerebus Strength. At around £2.50 a kilo new and inc delivery that's pretty good.

A friend of mine via FB is an old school gym owner on the South Coast. A guy who knows people, who know people kinda person. Anyway he puts me in touch with a gym who have 300kg of rubber plates and, get this, 14 x 50-kilo / 110lb plates. Not only that they're competition /calibrated and £1.50 a kilo!! I say I'll take 8 and want a deal to include shipping via a pallet on a truck. The deal only fails cos they aren't strong enough to put them on a pallet!! FFS LOL. If they're still available after the virus I'll see if I can get them collected.
