350kg power squat x 5. Wow. You’re moving some serious weight in all your lifts. I’ve never heard of a seated bb curl. Had to look that one up.

Hey mate, cheers. Am not a big fan of squats in general (or any movement that beings with the negative portion of the rep), but that machine allows my to load up well without issue. Yeah i like the seated bb curls sometimes, with a slight static hold at the mid point of the negative.

Power Squat? Is that one of those Rodgers pendulum machines (or a UK equivalent)?
Hey Al,
The only pic I have of it at the moment is this one, the red one beside the vertical leg press. I lean into the machine. Not sure of the manufacturer.

Yah, that is pretty much the type of machine I was thinking of. I guess a lot of manufacturers have started calling that a power squat.

Yes mate, there’s dozens of people that swim there everyday of the year, a club called “chunky dunkers” lol. Love to try it myself but am not the strongest swimming, I’d end up joining the German subs from the first world War at the bottom of the Irish Sea lol.
Best

Ah mate the gym has no air con, I was sweating like Diane Abbot in a maths exam lol.
Yeah a 600lb single will be going up soon enough, main priority at the moment is dropping some pork though.
Have a good weekend
