[@BryanClark-n7g]

[@barrythomsonlifts]

[@MartTLS]

Well done that man that’s impressive at your body weight.

[@Rory96inthahouse]

Thanks it's once see results gets so addictive 😂

[@MartTLS]

@@Rory96inthahouse I’ve just started back after an absence of 2 years and managed 110kg bench (40kgs down ) and hoping to increase 10kgs a month . What sort rate of increase are you managing or aiming for?

[@Rory96inthahouse]

@@MartTLS hoping for 170 by end of December now next goal be a tight one

[@clearthinker9507]

Hi Barry. Rob in Adelaide Another impressive video. Strong dips my man. Looking on target for the 160 for sure. Yes, its hard to get the bench set up feeling right. I have tried 3 different ones in recent times. It needs to be a strong not so cushioned bench especially heading to the weight s that you do. Cant feel like a water bed lol. You are a warrior for sure in that cold temp old school home gym.

[@barrythomsonlifts]

Thanks Rob. 160kg still seems way off but I've still got 3-4 weeks

[@clearthinker9507]

@@barrythomsonlifts Keep on it Barry. I reckon with a firmer bench and the safety bar set up you will get very close. Its abit of a shame you haven't got a spotter around for when you get closer to 160 as i reckon on a strong day with plenty of food and good rest you will be getting very close. Anyhow thats a perfect world right. Keep on doing what yuo do its great to see.

I just hit 4 reps of 40kg top set on overhead press and 35 kg on the back off set 2 sets 8 reps Lucky for me my gym is not cold lol 😂

[@barrythomsonlifts]

Very lucky. And well done on press.

[@getmassive999]

If u have shoulder pain u should look up ways to strengthen external rotators of the shoulder. This is a common problem with excessive pressing etc

[@barrythomsonlifts]

I get it alot from incline barbell bench

[@getmassive999]

@ also check the mobility of the internal rotators, have a look at the sleeper stretch and try it to test for imbalances

[@Cityzen567]

You start with 27.kg dumbbells without warming up and wonder why you have a niggle? 😂 You should first warm up with mobility exercises for the muscles you are about to train. For chest and shoulders, it’s also important to activate the muscles of the upper back which helps to prevent impingement prior to pressing movements. Look up the lock big 3 activation exercise. It’s really good and almost eliminated my shoulder issues. Also be sure to warm up the rotator cuffs.

[@barrythomsonlifts]

Had niggle before 27.5kg and before session started mate

[@WesleySissons]

Both him and his brother have passed on sad ending

[@barrythomsonlifts]

Yer

[@mattymoore4269]

When's leg day bro?

[@barrythomsonlifts]

Leg extension, Leg Curl, Squat (landmine or barbell)

[@joshneil2314]

Why are you hitting the Dumbells together? You shouldn’t do that….you want to keep them on constant tension plus you will hurt shoulders doing it that way … don’t let them touch… and if your so cold just turn on a heater.🤷🏻‍♂️

[@barrythomsonlifts]

There fine hitting together. Its a touch and not losing tension due to it. I like bringing them inside shoulder width but do agree some tension is lost this way for sure

[@russellthompson583]

The form police are out Barry lol

[@stuartjones3684]

Do you have an Instagram page?

[@barrythomsonlifts]
