I was hoping that 2020 would be the first year I ever benched 100 kg but that's now pushed forward to this year.
I'm hoping it takes me a lot less than 4 months to regain the strength I lost over those 4 months. If I had a training partner I'd get them to lift the bar out for me for heavy negatives. I might be able to lift out 209 lb by myself for a heavy negative. The bench press station has a safety barrier to stop the bar resting on my chest.
