Just missed 405 today

This will probably be moved the lounge but here it is anyway.
I just missed a clean press with 405 on bench today! The spotter had to take off a few pounds by helping keep the momentum. I know I didn't get it clean but he said (yeah I know) he didn't lift much at all; just barely touched the bar. I know he isn't bullshitting me because I pressed 385 last week with a 2 second pause at the bottom.
I really felt like I could get it today but give me a month and I'll hit it!

yea, I knew in my head I wasn't ready but I was feeling strong today so I got a little ego trip! WOW is that shit heavy! Wasn't expecting it to feel like that.

Thats impressive man. My personal best was a lttle over 300, but its good for me. I have a guy at my school that can max 500 its insane and a couple that can get 400.
