Got my opener with 452lbs and missed my 2nd & 3rd attempts because I couldn’t get myself stabilized on the bench. Guess I’m going to get the Velcro strap back out and start strapping myself onto the bench again

That was it. I used the 3 board for bench because I ended up injuring both of my shoulders, especially my left one at the meet. And this was about all they could take. I’m hoping this will make them heal by pushing some blood into them
