Workout Wednesday 15/8/12

Another express workout for me today - part of the perils of parenting (again), but proof - if you will - that gym work, or at least an exercise regime, is still possible even with being an active and involved father of three!

For convenience's sake, from hereon in I will abbreviate barbell with 'bb', and dumbell with 'db'.  Pretty standard, of course.  Whenever a weight is given for the barbell that will indicate the combined weight of plates and bar.  The weight listed for dumbells will be for one dumbell only, so you can assume that both hands will be carrying that weight - eg, 25kg dumbell means 50kg in total (25kg in each hand).
