I'm starting very slowly and with low weights.

The guys I go down the gym with are benching 130Kg, reps of 10, I am doing 40Kg

Don't feel bad mate. I've built up to benching with 14 kilo dumbells in each arm now
my pensioner mum can bench that
As always, thank-you for your kind words and support xxx
