Only Olympic bars for me.

On another note, thought I'd test out how many times I could rep 100kg on the bench, I had previously done 18 reps a few times. Managed 24!! This was on my second set, I generally rep it out after4-5 sets.

24 reps @ 100 calcs to a 1rm of 180kg!!!

Fark! Huge mate, well done

DL are becoming popular here, whats the main purpose of it? back?

It's a compound exercise like squats that works a great deal of muscles throughout the body. The movement focuses a forward force through your hips so your back, glutes and hamstrings benefit as well as your upper body (Lats, upper traps and forearms which help hold the barbell). It will help you build strength through your core which is essential to avoiding injury when it comes time to work with heavier weights through your upper body.

As much as I dislike doing rehab I must say I enjoy working legs. Haven't had the chance to go crazy since my op but I miss that jelly legs feeling you get after a really good leg workout.
