I'm still not sure where to actually put this post. I figure i"ll post it here & if an admin or mod want to move it, they will (& hopefully tell me where lol).
I got up this morning all excited. I was pumped. I was ready. I thought "today is the day that i'm going to try & smash the 77.5kg BP barrier that i've been facing for what feels like foreve". During the course of the day, which involved a scenic drive, visiting relatives with the girlfriend & eating (like a horse), i kept picturing myself breaking the record, doing 80kg for example.
When I got into the gym, I did a warm up routine that i hadn't tried before. It's simple..
50% x 8
60% x 5
70% x 3
80% x 1
90% x 1
100% x 1
102%x 1
When it came to the 100% x 1 rep, I got a friend to help me with taking the bar off the rack, so i could conserve energy & use what i could to move the iron. And what do you know, i benched 80kg with difficulty, but it was smooth. It didn't bounce off my chest, it rested & then was pushed up. My mate then suggested putting an extra 2.5kg onto the bar. After a 5 minute rest, i tested 82.5kg & once again, benched it corrctly, no bounce. All the way up & down. My arse never left the bench, my feet stayed planted to the ground.
Today I benched 82.5kg while my previous record was 77.5kg. ONwards & upwards. I want that 100kg bench (raw)
