I hit a new bench PR of 247lb
And my girl got 117lb. I'm actually really impressed. Her first attempt at a heavy bench and 117lb is very respectful for chicks

so we all know how's gonna do the dishes :LOL:

awesome, how did it feel?
Heavy 😂🤣😂
But oddly it was the last 4"-6" of the lockout that was the hardest. Which is odd because my triceps are fuckin strong. So over the next 2 weeks I'll work on some accessory work and then go for another PR.

strange. I thought you would say it is fairly easy.
you never really loved working out chest?

Bro I haven't benched heavy since I was 26.
I've only done volume for the past 4 years.
Up until 5-6 weeks ago the most I ever really put on the bar was 180lb.
I did 225 months and months ago because my girl asked if I could. But other than that... Volume has been my thing.
But.. I know I have some more in me. I wasn't struggling for life to press it. But it's the first time the weight felt "heavy"

Today is a rest day. Celebrating my son's birthday. Tomorrow is deadlifts and abs. Monday will be squats... So I think Wednesday will be bench. Can't decide if I want to try another PR or just focus on gaining strength.

Sitting comfortably at 209lb

yeah that's a thing to do. especially when training solo at home. but even if you do have someone around you, you wouldn't want to get injuries

Yeah I'm terrified of injuries. I'm ok with her on bench, no problem bailing on a deadlift. Just got new crash pads. The only one I'm nervous about is squats

Really fuckin happy about that. Just one more inch is all I want

Just hit a new strict curl of 130lbs for 2!!
Fuck yes! I've been stuck at 120lb forever.
Every time I tried 125lb it felt like it was glued to the floor.
And I think I found another shirt I need...
