Despite a minor set back last week I managed to pull off a 15lb bench PR today.........420 dead. Felt really good too.
Whilst I am here I ought to share an observation I made today. Normally I keep myself real tight.........by that I mean absolutely rigid. Today when I allowed myself to be a bit more fluid under the bar the weight felt lighter. I havent figured out why yet.......but am working on it.
Good job! Lot of lifitng in fact i would say close to 75% of it is mental. If you have the strength to lift X amount of weight your mind must also know it 100%. Or it will be a less hearted attempt. I have been squashed by weight only to come back 5 minutes later and freakin destroy it!!
Your tapping into your true strength reserve. YOu find yoru absolute power, nutrition, rest, and lifting tempo i bet ya at this moment you could lift another 15 no problem. Congrats though. Makes the week worth of lifting complete!
I'll save the other 15 for next time :) I've set 200kg as my short term target.....that 15 will have me knocking on its door demanding a showdown.Quote:

WAY TO GO good to hear you reached 400+ bro.
Better make that 431 :) Felt good (as good as the 420) but less stable (it was moving towards my face). So I left it at that seeing as there was only one decent spotter and without being disrespectful to him I dont think he was up to spotting this.
