I got two weeks to think on my next routine. I'll figure something out. Dumb bells may be the way to go for the next one. I haven't done those in a while. They're just hard to get up on my lap and maneuvered up for the first rep. The last time I did them I was doing 80s or 90s. Will probably start at 70s if I start them again.
Is there a power rack in your gym, it will eliminate the need for a spotter, it's what I use in my home gym.

When raising the dumbells rest them between your knees and thighs and use your legs to help get them up into position.
