Weighted lunges are good. I like the feeling of failure after doing them rather than unweighted ones.....mainly cos it happens way sooner.

@MN5 was only a 10kg bag, but already can feel legs will not be happy with me tomorrow.
The older of my boys was doing them with a 10kg med ball extended up with one arm, that looked an even more evil version.

I do a few reps with a couple of 40kg plates.....I don’t like high reps of anything !
-
Started with incline DB press super-setted with push ups, Cable flies, close grip cable/bicep curls, tricep push downs (arms were knackered already) russian twists
-
Seated DB press, seated DB flies, Deadlifts, shoulder cable exercise.
Unsure of proper name, but did the core exercise where you hold the weight on a hip and raise it over head to other hip and so on
Did higher number of sets per exercise this week.
-
TR Jnr along today
seated wide-grip rows, lat pull downs, deads (TR Jnr wanted to do them, so I stayed reasonably low in weight and did higher reps) seated close grip rows, hyper-extensions, 5 mins interval work on air-bike (last 3 20 sec work were at 75-80 RPM - felt like I had just finished a leg workout when I got off) -
didnt get to the gym on the weekend, but went with TR Jnr this afternoon.
Squats (did one set @110 on the bar - def feel I could go a decent bit heavier, but not keen just yet)
then did one where you have your feet under some pads and then another pad 80% the way up your calf, and you 'sit' and rise up
seated leg press (single leg)
single leg extension (went heavy on these ones - assume all the work on my bad knee has paid off over the years cos it feels stronger)
single leg curls (light, high reps)
calf raises/press (on the seated leg press) -
Standing overhead barbell press, lateral side raises, seated DB press, standing DB curls, decline side to side sit ups-supersetted with mountain climbers.
Was gonna do triceps, but they were already burning.
Did 6 sets, with 2 lighter ones, then set 3 and 4 were close to max weight for 3-4 reps.
While I was there, there was a dude doing his ab workout, holy fuck! Decline med-ball sit ups, hanging toes to bar, wipers, planks as well as some other stuff I dont know names of...is a due probably 50, not big and not really ripped, but in great shape

I'm no expert, but I think you might be doing the whole "checking people out at the gym" thing wrong...

@voodoo haha
I check the right ones out too. -
Workout with TR Jnr today.
bench press (I did 80 on the bar x 4, which I'm pretty happy with) then seated decline press (on a machine of sorts) supersetted with press ups, cable flies, abs, then 5 mins on the air bike.
This was after a couple of beers, a glass of bubbly, a vodka jelly shot one of the ladies at work made and a big lunch

Not keen to go for more ? I've seen your push up form on FB, whilst it's not always a direct comparison you'd nail heaps more than that surely.
I'm doing weighted push ups with a couple of 20kg plates alternating with close grip ones with time under tension. The change is working well, great fun and definitely feeling the burn nicely.

I say the same thing about people who go on runs.
One mans pleasure is another mans pain.

@MN5 TBH, I felt I could have gone more, but I am not sure if I am remembering wrong, but at my 'peak' in my 20s I vaguely recall max of about 90 on the bar (had never been that strong on the bench or pull ups) when I weighed about 85kg, so I'm probably being a bit wussy haha
I'm a month or so into being back at the gym, and really enjoying it, will probably start to push up the weight more on a few of the big exercises over the coming weeks...

Yeah I think you're selling yourself pretty short judging from your push up vids. I only watched a couple but the form was better than just about any of the others I saw.
Again, sometimes it can take a bit to get used to the bar and weights on there but you'll smash your previous PB easy, guaranteed.
