Nice one Linds - your session looked good. Ness - we have an Adidas bench, bought by me some years ago. Similar to this: adidashardware.com Raffo says he shoulder presses using it - ether upright or at a slight angle. I will try it. |

My sets of 6kg and 7kg dumbbells were delivered today. I'm sure the 6kg ones are twice the weight of my 5kg ones. Not sure whether to wonder what on earth I was thinking of or to relax in anticipation of being able to curl 2 x 6kg as easily as I can currently curl a 15kg barbell.

lol Velociraptor - see my comment to Pix a page or so back … but even giving you dramatic/comic licence, I didn’t think the difference would be THAT pronounced.

I went from 5kg to 8kg. My reps fell a bit dramatically. 😂 I'm reasonably happy doing Arnold presses with the 8kg now, though. I do an overhead carry with a 10kg dumbbell and I do have to help it up there with my other hand.

I feel a bit better now as I assumed Velociraptor was using dumbbells When I say you doing 15kg biceps I was most depressed! Knowing it was a bar makes me feel a bit better! Sorry! |

Does anyone use bands instead/ as well as dumbells? My silly right hand is causing bother again and holding a weight is too uncomfortable. Had a go with a band yesterday and my shoulders/triceps are aware of that this afternoon so am planning to build a routine in. |
