Well im studying animal sciences and management at college so I get to use their gym for free, its full of personal trainer trainees and students and it is always busy.. There's a fairly decent freeweight section which is all I really need but there's only a few benches and just one power rack :/
Get a log going mannnn I'll be sure to follow it! And ahha I get that response from a friend that I train with, I've just always enjoyed them. When I first started training I could just about do 3 I'm currently up to 8 so its nice to see physical progress

Chins are great, all the tough exercises are usually the best ones.

For charity today at work everyone had to wear red so for once I wasn't wearing my baggy uniform, it was overwhelming how many people complimented my increased size haha including "how did you get big arms like that eating rabbit food" I took that as a compliment.

grip training today! deadlifting on monday and I want to nail a 110Kg, may switch to mix grip if I cant quite get it. anyone here use lifting belts? and how do they work?

Lifting belts help by increasing intra-abdominal pressure (restricting your belly so you can develop more force/power on the pull).
Compliments are always good aye, shows you are doing something right! Can you get a video of your 110 DL?
