Bench

165 x miss x 2

145 x 3 PR

150 x 3 PR

I didn't shirt up tonight because my shoulder has been bothering me and when I get in a shirt it creates more pressure.  

It was fun to do something different; 150 lb flew and I really thought 165 lb would go too, but it didn't.  The first time I tried it I was hesitant/went too slow and I thought I just needed to be more aggressive so I gave it another shot but I failed again.  In hind sight I think I just needed to push my arch harder.  Ross suggested going for reps instead so I did - felt good and was fun.

The boys shirted up and Chirs and Carmine hit PR's!  Carmine joined the 500 lbs Bench Club in a new denim shirt he is tried for the first time, and Chris put on a poly shirt and got a 525 lb bench!  Not a bad night for those two.  Leo Tili was in do some bench work and brought in a new guy, Alex (I think), who also got a 300 lb PR on the bench, raw.  Good vibes in the gym, as usual.
