I’m lifting in 2.5kg increments so reckoning that would be 62.5 and then down to 57.5 in your scheme? Has some logic to it. Might give it a try. Thanks.

No bar rails in my Spanish gym and not sure of good communication with a random spotter!

¿Podrías por favor evitar que esta barra me aplaste si no puedo volver a levantarla? 😂

Try the 2.5kg difference and if you can manage the volume the the lower weight, then try upping the higher weight. You could also switch up your training for a few weeks and build up to heavy single reps, just in order for you to get used to moving a much heavier weight than your current sticking point if the above doesn't suit.

Done a couple of sessions to get back into my strength training now after a good while off, feeling the doms after the other days push session and now have pull days bicep/back doms to come. The joys... 😂

with 60kg, you could probably roll it down your torso and escape OK - maybe something to try with lighter weights first!

Got something to say?
