I mean there’s no reason to leave it at 15, got to go for 20 and then you can call it a widow maker!

I am not sure I could have managed it, especially not when I didn’t plan on it ahead of time.

The urge to punch My monitor rises with every overhead PB i see here.
like, congrats, but also…lots of negative thoughts swirl. ya know?
Of course, i jest.
What is your best benching?

Your monitor punching is precisely the reaction I am looking for. I use your tears to flavor my PWO.
My best bench depends on which version you care about:
Incline: 125 (though with an imperfect ROM)
Flat: 130 (legit)
Decline: 145 (legit)

See, now I am feeling triggered about you being better than me on the bench. Currently working on some excuses.

Oops, I guess we need to update this.
First PR was solid. Second one was some grindy bullshit, but still managed it. RPS 1.5

Not really feeling super today for whatever reason, so this felt like crap. I think it is a rep PR, but not really an interesting one. Still, something for @alex_uk to go out and attempt to beat.

Another couple reps added to the PR of my Very High Incline Presses. This was hard as balls, that last rep was a killer. These are ugly and imperfect, but I don’t care. It is making me stronger I think.

Little PR here. Not sure if previous was 3 or 4. I was quite sure on paper I should be strong enough for five, but we don’t lift paper around here, so I was a little nervous about proving it.
