Finally broke through my bench press plateau. In fact, I nearly got all of 225 by myself. I had been bumping up against 210. I got it first thing. Then, went through my whole workout. And, I put 225 on the bar just to get the feel of it. Only the third time I have even attempted it. And, I almost got it. The spotter told me that he may have lifted five lbs at the most.
Best workout I have had in a while. I just felt strong. So, next Monday I am trying 215lb. I am just going to max out every Monday and try to add five pounds.
I won't rely on a bench press calculator ever again, because according to one of those, I could do 225 back in December.
If I can increase my bench 5lbs every two weeks, I will hit 300lbs by the end of the year. Doesn't sound too hard....lol. Heck, if I do it every two weeks, I will have six wheels by the end of this year.
Hope springs eternal.
