consistency is key

Good stuff buddy! Although the thought of spotters wearing thongs frankly terrifies me...

Thanks man

People get freaked out when I prance around the gym barefoot or in socks. If a weight falls on your toes shoes aren't going to make much difference really (unless you are wearing toe caps of course). I say let them wear thongs

Baldy you should move to oz, you would fit right in

Back was a bit sore today so thought I would give it a rest from the 5x5 and work up to some singles..
First go at 170 was comfy, second go at it was more of an awareness rep, LOL.. checking everything was good and proper.

First time on the Leg press, interesting bit of machinery. Good for days whnen you have a sore back I spose.
Other than that may throw it in as an assistance exercise every now and then.
