So I've been lifting heavy on chestfor the last 3 weeks, trying to break through my plateau. Did it today at lunch --> FINALLY

Flat bench like this

135 x 10

225 x 8

315 x 6

345 x 2

380 x 1

225 x 20

Man what a great feeling. I'm so close to 400 i can smell it!!!!!! There were 6 people in the room with me and everyone was cheering me on at 380. Then they gave me props for repping out the 225 at the end. The bar looked crazy loaded cause we only had small weights after the 3 plates and the 25's If I can get to 400, I'm going to go ape shit.


BTW, it took me FOREVER to get it past the sticking point, but once I got past I was able to pretty much pop it up. It's at about 6 inches above my chest where the weight is the heaviest. Any spot before or after that is a LOT easier.
