Weighed in this morning bang on 80.0kg. Diets been really good of late. Moved pretty much all carbs to around workout and post workout. Then low carb high fat and protein all through the day. Bit more carbs at dinner. Diet cleaning in general but still plenty of beers (low carb) in there. Already noticing the effects

[MN5]

Still busted out more than a double bodyweight single there fella, gotta be happy with that !

Like yourself I haven't done them in ages, to emulate you I'd need a single @210kg so that might take a few sessions to get up to.....
