ok so the title is a little dramatic but that’s how I felt on today after my chest workout…like a "Benchpress Champion". For the first time ever I was able to benchpress 135lbs. Can you imagine that…..135lbs….a 45lb plate on each side…..little 127lb me who started off barely able to bench presss the 45lb barbell alone??? YAY YAY!!!! Now granted I only got 1 rep  by myself and 2 more times with a little assistance it felt GREAT. The accomplishment, though small to many has me excited as I have now mentally conditioned myself that I can do it. I can bench press 135lbs **BIG grin**…..so now the bar has been set (no pun intended). I now have the motivation to work on perfecting my new little feat so that one day I will be doing a full set on my own. ***no spotter needed thank u ***

 Stay tuned
