With hindsight i reckon last night was 40 - 45mins to be honest and id rather do 1hr 10 if possible.
All weights are set to failure on teh last weight, except the dumbell rows, hence my written comment on the set, as thats the heaviest dumbell we have there, so i have to keep doing sets until i fail.
My current plan is to keep the form good and clean, with slow release of all movements, but a max of 30 seconds in between all sets and exercises, this keeps my heart up in the high numbers and maximises my workout as far as i can. Not sure its teh best way to work, but im gaining power every week without fail so i cant be too far off the mark surely?
Has to be said though, most of those weights went up somewhat this week, especially the dumbell rows (22.5kg last week) and the pain this morning is suggesting i should perhaps NOT add anymore

I would say shrugs, but you dont have access to a Barbell do you? Im not sure if DB shrugs would work as well, especially at only 30k a side.

How many days a week do you train? By the sounds of it you should take a couple of days off, overtraining is nearly as bad as not training at all!
Give your body plenty of chance to recoperate

Stu, one thing that you could add is pulldowns but with a reverse grip, so your palms face you(about shoulder width). Do these nice and heavy after your chinups, then go on as you are..
