The pulley system on this lat pull down machine was really weird so I really have no idea if it was anything like 52kg. This were primarily for working scapular retraction.

I'd never done incline barbell presses before so these were messy as hell for me. Really struggled to find any sort of line and the bar was floating about everywhere :)

I was busted after this workout but felt great to have been back in the gym. Buzzing :) I'd say I'll be sore the next few days. I've lost a bit of weight as I'd gone off food as my throat was aching. Plan is to regain that weight quick enough and continue to increase the bodyweight steadily after that. It should be easier to stay on top of my diet now that I have my written exams over me. Plus a little Christmas bulk will help :)

We are making a move to a different gym soon - to the RockPit in Lisburn. Supposed to be an awesome facility and they have a new room refurbished with a load of strength and conditioning equipment. I'll have to see if I can get a few pictures of it once we get everything sorted up there.
