What is it you do mate? I don't believe we've ever discussed it.
 
Don't think we have me ol mukka, I work in broadcasting, in front of 2 macs & 1 PC all day :icon_chee

Decent pay & my managers are really nice people, quite understanding when it comes to childcare and work hours etc, some places/people aren't.

Since it's Easter & schools are out my routine is messed up, which means no gym. This is probably a good thing considering my lower back aches & pain!

Cheers mate, can't complain too much :icon_twis

-Around 31/5 squatted again, up to 140x5 for 3 sets, felt OK at the time. Tried squatting again on 3/06 & my lower back flared up, so switched now to high bar squats, felt fine & doesn't tax my lower back anyway near as much. Going forward I'll be using this...so long as my knee holds up (touch wood).

-Have to look to see when I last actually did flat bench, these felt OK, just very weak off the chest...I think it's probably been a year or so. Edit last Bench session recorded on here was 20/09/13!
