I really hurt my back last week and have not been unable to move properly or train since. Ross told me to try and bench, because worst case scenario I could bench flat on the bench and take the pressure off my back if need be.

It took a couple of sets before I was stretched out enough to get my legs back without my back killing me. Even then, I had to hold everything extremely tight.
My first attempt at 275 took a long time to touch and I thought it was too long, but Ross said everything looked perfect - I just let my air out at the bottom, so I did it again and got it. I don't remember why 290 didn't go, but next up was 300 and I got it this time. I have no idea what was different about this 300 and every other time I have attempted it, but it felt great! I'm so happy to hit this weight finally!
