Heavy Bench
Bar x reps
95 x 5
115 x 1
135 x 1
Shirt on
165 x 1
190 x 1
205 x 1
220 x 1
230 x 1
250 x miss x 2
Everything felt solid on the bench; 220 went up nice, I dumped 230 but was able to save it and ride the shirt all the way back up, and 250 was close...both times...I'll have to check my logs but I think this makes the 6th time I've missed it! It felt good in my hands though. For me, when I get to certain weights, it isn't so much about building the strength (the strength is there) its learning a whole new level of how hard to push mentally. That's what 250 is for me, a lesson in how to push through mentally...soon...very soon.
