From Gold Coast!

Love them too :) Got about four myself, small though.

Mine is to reduce BF% to about 17- 18% eventually. Currently about 21%.

Yes definitely - I will look into it :) Thank you!

Probably like you and other people say, what I need is to learn how to use the safety bars when needed. I only get to work with weights like this a couple of times a week.

No not doing 5 x5, 110 last week was my first time trying and 5 reps were the maximum i could make.

I am currently at only 110 x 5 reps after about 2.5 months of training. I am aiming at 132 which is my body weight for now. When I tried 110 last week, I did need a spotter (my PT) and I could just make my last rep but it was very close to dropping.

Ok I see - finding two spotters would be even harder....

I do chit chat to some people I often see - but they might not be the ones who could help with spotting.. (they are not doing weights)

Also again - I guess I just didnt make sense did I. I mean having a spotter is what I want so I would be fine with it. I just wanted to ask how people would feel being asked for it, and if any girls would ask if they were in my situation.

I do have access to those squat racks with safety bars - but I am still not comfortable going heavier with no one supporting me. I wish my bf would go with me but he has no interest in working out at the gym which is a shame! :(

Yes I know what you mean and spotting squats is quite close! I feel frustrated - and I def wouldn't want anyone to get a "wrong" idea by asking to spot me either! lol

Hey, yup I am on the Gold Coast too! :)

Hi! I am in Gold Coast, too! :)

Always looking for new like-minded people!!! Feel free to add me

Yes haha

Me me :)

Wow thanks to everyone! So I googled some video on how to and I tried it at the gym today. It was not hard! :) So glad I asked, thank you again.

I've tried it before and found very awkward to do.. Does your shoulders and/or arms hurt from holding on to the bench?

How long have you been training for? I'm struggling getting rid of this flabby looks lol

Thank you! You are looking fab, exactly what I wanna be!

I was advised to cut carbs in order to lower BF%. I would like to start consuming cal from protein more!
