As you can tell, we really pushed ourselves, and each other. His exercise log shows a similarly impressive improvement.
Tonight, we're going to pummel our legs. Tomorrow I suspect will be a day of rest - I probably won't even be able to climb stairs.
Update: After some discussion, I'm going to count the smith machine bar as 7kg, not 18. Though means my lifts aren't as impressive, it means my gains are more so, so it's all good.

So you were benching more than me? Odd, I don't remember it that way!
Nope - but you've counted the bar as 7kg rather than 18. This thread would suggest that a smith machine bar isn't generally counterweighted.
I think a smith machine bar IS counterbalanced so that it ways 0kg (at least i'm sure the one in my gym was!). Why not save the arguing by using free weights? Free Weights are a lot better as they trigger your stabilizer muscles, working your body more naturally and will help burn more calories as you are incorporating more muscle fibres into the exercise!
