I about quit powerlifting today. Got into an argument with my training partner (brother) because I was sitting around most of the morning waiting on him to go to the gym. Finally about 5 o'clock I went by myself...fuck it.

Fuck it...I will do some more shit later. Well I guess my anger and bad attitude paid off. 70# PR. I was just cursing and kicking shit around. Broke one of the machines and broke a 45 plate in half (amazing what happens when you slam one on concrete. You can see where I failed again...that fucking right shoulder floats back, and i loose it over my face. Its hard as fuck deracking weight with a torn rotator cuff but I did it. I took a big arch (my but is touching...remember i have 308lb class size fat ass). I put the saftey pins in...and if i flatend out my arch, i could rest the bar on the pins when/if i missed.
One thing I found out is that I like a taller bench...what I mean is the piece of shit bench I train on is 15" tall because the cushion is flat. I think regulation benches are 17 or so. I forgot to mention I spent an half hour fixing the bench I used. I drilled new holes and reattached the cushion. Its still a POS but it works. WIth a taller bench, I can get a better arch and get up on my heels (I like to drive through my heels). So I may start benching in the powerrack like Irish. Ok, I know yall are sick of reading this shit. I will post more later.
