Hi Mate,

Just another question for you as I couldn't quite understand your difference in your bench from spotted down to your dumbell bench.

You are doing for 8 reps(ish)...

Bench With Spot: 2x27.5 + 20kg Bar = 75kg
Bench No Spot: 2x22.5 + 20kg Bar = 65kg
Dumbell Bench: 2x22 = 44kg

30kg is quite a big difference - are you using the Smith? Or are you using the Free Weight Olypmic Bar...?

If you were using the Smith that reduces the gap down to only 10Kg...?

(Assuming we consider the Bar on the Smith to weigh nothing...??)
