I've always called that a press down. Semantics I know but I've always associated a pull down with the Lat pull down. In any case that's a sick number for the Tricep pressdown.

Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.
the numbers can be misleading as the stacks vary machine to machine, as you know. and it depends on what type of leverage you get from the bar, etc. I have a feeling it's not as impressive as you think it is ...
Just awful. What a horrible workout. Traveling took its toll. This was a nice gym - same chain as back home, but the five hours of sleep last night and only one meal today showed. I suck. I just ran out of steam through the workout. At least better than sitting in the hotel room watching tv.

* Not a PR, but first time I hit 225 in over 3 years. Sad but true. Could have done more than one but no spotter and scared of getting pinned
** Superset
Overall, pretty happy. Some joint pain, but making progress.
Thanks, John and Gabe. I was very happy. The only person I could share my accomplishment with was my wife who didn't know what I meant by "two plates" or "225."

Notes: Had to cut this short, so missed the last two exercises, but tha'ts okay. Squats were okay. Ready to push the weight more but really want to be sure that I keep the form correct and go deep. BB Rows were way too light but first time I did them with a bb instead of db's.

Nice benching, lift. You're almost at that 235 number! And the flies are awesome. I can't imagine doing flies with 55s myself.
