new max bench and curl . . .. oooooorah!
I just got two pleasant surprises. I haven’t checked my max bench or curl in awhile. I’ve been lifting, but not keeping track of my max. Anyway, I went to the SMU Rec Center to work out and found out it was closed. Went home, ticked off. Decided I’d get on my benchpress at home to see what my max is. 208 pounds; that’s a big increase for me. Then I decided to check my barbell curl. 116 pounds; which was a big surprise for me. I was hovering around a 100 pound max before. I know it’s not that impressive to many of you, but it’s a significant improvement for me. I could tell during my workouts that I was getting stronger, but I didn’t realize I was getting results like this.

Congratulations - plus I see from your updated stats that your arms have had a nice increase in size too. Keep up the good work!
