I think we should all give our selves a well deserved pat on the back :-) if we can lift our arm's that is.....

After week 6 I wonder if there's a related site where you do those press and clap ones. (The sort that only Jet Li can do in the real world)

Johnny, the last set is supposed to be the all blow out max reps. Maybe you need more of a rest before the last set...? Which week of the programme are you on?

Then Mrs D told me to keep the noise down

I am on week 3. I think I have gone a bit off piste with my progression :-)

Cuddy's right, the last set is the one where you take the muscles to failure, this fatigue cause the micro tears that result in the new muscle growth and increased strength

But at my current rate I'll be doing 225 by end of week 6. Which is a bit scary. But if it makes me look like Daniel Craig I have noooo problem with that (as if).

Hmm...okay, now I'm confused. Johnny your numbers a couple pages back don't match up to any of the ones on week three...you are going off the piste a bit, aren't you :-P
