Member 3757, 1746 posts SQ 202.5, BP 110, DL 255 567.5 kgs @ 82kgs UnEq	Have decided to cut down on the weight gainer and try and lose 4kg (over the next few months, nice and slow), probably doing 20mins cardio at the end of each session.

One arm snatch (left-handed) 6 x 15kg 6 x 25kg 3 x 35kg 3 x 40kg 1 x 45kg 1 x 50kg fail but very close One arm dumbbell press (left-handed) 6 x 20kg 3 x 30kg 2 x 40kg PB 1 x 44kg PB Left hand is so unco-ordinated. Really need to practice these to try and get them at least close to my right hand. Bit of a s**te session and thought my elbow was fixed. Looking forward to squats tomorrow...
