Bench Day – Update III
I weighed 127 lbs. this morning…life is good.
I felt pretty stiff this morning, thanks to my Wednesday and Thursday workouts, so I made sure to take my time warming up. This helped a lot. My first set was a bit wobbly, but I got through it, and steadied up over the subsequent sets.
I completed the first 4 sets at 130 lbs: 5/5, 5/5, 5/5, 5/5. So I put the big plates on (135 lbs!) for the last set and managed 3 full reps. This was a solid improvement over last week, so I was pretty happy with it.

So next time you will try for 135 for at least the first set, right?

First set, and the remaining 4. My spotter is well-trained, and knows how to assist.
