any idea what your one rep max is then?

have you tried.

what sort of barbell you using for this aswell?

I avoid one rep maxes like the plague at the mo, the tendons in me shoulders are gettin pretty bad again and at my age the risk of injury is just to great.

gotta be bench press flat, but threre is nothing like a good arm pump its just getting there

its gotta be between D/B Flys and D/B Curls, just because the pumps you get from these 2 exercises are out of this world!

Bench Press comes in an easy 3rd, just due to the satisfaction of being a tall ectomorph and putting 120kg on the bench and watching everyone in the gym stop and look and think "WOW! hes strong!"

deadlift and bench press

btw guys got a record of 121 kg bench the other day with room for another rep but didn't do it for fear of injury (it was the 5th set of the day)

also very very very close to completed a 1 rep perfect form 165kg dead 2 days ago

and for these reasons these 2 exercises are given my seal of approval.

ps - best supps for recovery? i'm hitting my muscles hard atm and pain is unbearable... just doing perfect diet, lots of protein and glutamine supps, zma tribulus creatine... and eca before training, anything i'm missing here?

For some reason I love deadlifts.

kev stop selling yourself short bro you've only been training 8 weeks bet theres guys on here who'd give there right arm for progress like that, oh and stop bangin on about not liftin much for your weight. you've come to this after letting yourself go for a bit but believe me its an advantage starting heavy. you've stuck to your diet (more or less lol) and trained spot on. you are a star pupil bud, i'm proud of ye for wot you've done so far keep it up.
