Summary
So I’ve had a meme saved on my phone for a while now…
may or may not be completely historically accurate haha
and my main goal for the last fourteen months (or 422 days if you want to be slightly more precise) has been to bench three plates. In that span of time I’ve had to figure out how to correct my weaknesses, been through flu + pneumonia last winter that set me back, and had to figure out a long plateau at 275 and how to get the last few pounds up.
And tonight IT HAPPENED. Three plates for a single. It’s a bit cool to finally see 14 months worth of work pay off. I’m rating my form as not perfect but still pretty decent. It was a bit of a grindy rep but it finally happened:
On to the next goals! I’ll be putting in some good work this month and will be testing some other maxes later this month in preparation for the T-ransformation in January.
I was working out tonight with a friend, and it was a great workout. I skipped the shoulder exercise to save time (I’d rather get in more curls than do shoulders today) I think I added weight and/or reps to everything. Bench backdowns added two reps, dips felt strong, curls were amazing. Igniter and Surge remain undefeated for how awesome those workouts are.
