Fitness Log - Chest - Week 6

Two more weeks until I evaluate the overall effectiveness of this programme! :D

Squats - previous: 60kg. Now: 62.5
6 6 6 (prog)
This felt good today. The heaviest weight, 67.5 is slightly more than my bodyweight... woo! Milestone achieved!!! 1.0x body weight squats :)Didn't have much problem... it required hard effort, but it was ok. so should be hitting 70 next workout :)

Bench Press - previous 62.5, 60 60, now: 60, 62.5, 65
666
Got a spotter for the last 2 reps of the last set, otherwise was pretty clean sets overall. Hitting somewhat of a plateau here, but believe I can bust it soon, just need to get a good day...

Inclined Bench Press - previous: 47.5 , now: 50kg
5 6 6 (non prog)
Last 3 reps with spot. I stayed at 50kg after failing the first set, but surprisingly did 6 clean reps in the second (had a spotter, but he didn't touch the weight). Last set was tough. My chest was beat up.

Inclined Dumbbell Press - previous: 20kg (7 6 5), now 20kg
7 7 8
Was such an easy 3 sets that I did an extra rep on the last for fun. Next time I'll go up a weight (if there is such a dumbbell), or do 8 8 8.

Bonus: Calf raises - 40kg
8 8 8 (prog)
Decided I needed to train more of my legs as squats alone don't quite cut it. Need to tone my fat legs! I've always had fat legs since secondary school, because I played soccer during my puberty so my legs developed really fast. 
This exercise feels fairly easy, not sure what my limit is. Probably at least my body weight right? Since i can tiptoe. 
I'm trying to really feel the contraction here, holding the raise at the top for 2 seconds.

Went all out all the bench exercises, and now the day after have a slight pain in my back, think over strained or slightly pulled a back muscle. Damn , when you're squeezing everything and going 100% everything gets engaged.
