Bench Press

Warm Up

  • 45lbs: 10
  • 137.5lbs: 5
  • 227.5lbs: 2
  • 317.5lbs: X
    • Tried a slightly wider grip on the bar (normally have my pinkies on the inside of the markings, this time I tried my ring finger on the markings)

Main Sets

  • 280lbs: 3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,2
    • Failed on last rep. Lost focus, mind suddenly on something else other than moving the weight up.

Ever since I started taking strength training seriously, I was bitten by the Iron Bug. Then it burrowed under my skin and laid eggs in my heart. Now those eggs are hatching and I... the feeling is indescribable.
