315
I haven’t gone heavy on bench in quite some time. I goofed up my shoulder last time I did one of those "increase your bench" programs (see previous post) but things were feeling pretty good, so I decided to try heavy sets last night. FINALLY got 315 up. I know 315 ain’t that big a deal to a lot of the dudes on this site. I mean, come on, there’s guys on here benching in the 500s and probably higher, but I’ve been aiming for 3 plates for a long time, so I felt pretty good about it. There was just some psychological block about throwing that third plate on there that threw me for some reason. And to tell you the truth, it went up pretty easy. I couldn’t believe it. I’ll wait awhile I think and throw on 325 and see what happens.
Bulking is coming along ok so far. Speaking of which, I should probably go eat again.

No, 315 isn’t much, you greedy so-and-so, especially since you didn’t arch like an effin suspension bridge, ala how many so-called trainers, etc. You may have a "lifting disorder" as far as your perceptions go. It’s not uncommon.

Hey man three wheels aint no joke. That’s the point where the bar starts to bend in the middle. If you think of it that way, 315’s pretty bad ass. Congratulations on that. Keep up the great work and I’ll be watching for that three and a quarter.
