what’s the * for? did you misload the bar by 2.5 lbs?
great work in any case![/quote]
LS - thanks and yes!
soldog - thanks and thanks for reminding me that I didn’t explain that!
So, my target was 320 – 3pps + 2.5 on each side. So, I load up the plates and I totally forgot to put the 2.5# on my side. My spotter guy, who I always bench with, totally did the wrong math and put a 5# and a 2.5# on.
I was so zoned out getting psyched up mentally that I didn’t even think to check the weight (dumb dumb dumb), and to add, my left biceps tendon has been tight for a couple weeks.
So, I get lift off and I brought the weight down slow and wobbly. First rep, then second rep went up slow, not impossibly slow, but slow enough I knew I didn’t have 3 reps today.
So, when I’m done he says “Did I mess you up with lift off because that first rep was rough?”
I says “Nah, my left arm’s been bothering me”.
I go to unload the weight for next set and see he loaded wrong, then at the same time he said “you only wanted 315?”
I say no why – he says “There’s only 3 plates and nothing else”.
LOL. Lopsided press. Funny that only 7.5# made a difference. I didn’t consciously think that the left side was heavier, but the reps did feel unbalanced, but I thought it was my tendon weakening out… LOL~!
