Sweet!!  ^^^

[The Scott]

Yesterday I did arms.  10 sets of 5 for biceps and ten sets of 5 for triceps but done in straight sets instead of super setting.  It felt good to have a bicep pump as it kinda "cushions" the tricep work.  The weight felt heavy to me but I am certain it wouldn't have been for anyone else here. 

[IroNat]

Standing behind neck barbell press - 6x5,1x4,1x3
Deadlift - 7x5
Weighted dips - 7x5
Leg extensions - 3x18-20
Leg curls - 3x10-12
Standing calf raise - 3x20

There's a rare listen, very old UFO.
One of my all-time favorite bands, saw them many times live, even w/ Jason Bonham on Drums.
They are winding things down now as theyve been at it for over 50 yrs.
Phil Mogg - One of Metals best singers.
Schenker on Guitar, nuff said.
(Mick Bolton played on this album)

I never saw them live.

Had the chance back around 1976 or so but couldn't make it.  Same with AC/DC around that time (TNT tour)

I have just about all UFO albums.

There are a couple bands I could have easily seen but didn't and wish I had.

After what you went thru that’s great Henda. I prob couldn’t deadlift 400 lbs.

Thanks brother I try and tell myself that but still feel a bit embarrassed about how heavy it felt even then I had to work up to it over the last 8 weeks ago before 400 was quite comfortable even if never trained deadlifts for a good while but slow and steady will keep plugging away

I hope I'm not revealing too many secrets so far

Better to play it safe and not post.
