I put 500 on Nicks shirt a while back and he wouldnt wear it till he got it hahaha. Honor. Nick, call me on 540 915 4774. I got something funny to tell you.
: I finally benched 500! This one had been a
: long time coming. I was feeling so psyched
: from watching the lifting this weekend up at
: the DE state meet, and seeing all you guys,
: that I REALLY wanted this today. I also was
: noticing the guys' technique at the meet on
: Saturday, and I realized it wasnt a strength
: issue that was keeping me back - I was
: definitely strong enough, regardless of the
: fact that the shirt is so loose I could
: probably fit a 2-board under my shirt! My
: problem was that I was just screwing up my
: form and trying to muscle through the lift,
: and that was killing me. I was losing my air
: and my arch while trying to touch. So I
: focused on my setup and my technique, made
: damn sure I kept my arch, and WHAM - much
: easier than some lighter weights had been
: for me in the past! Dare I say, I had a few
: lbs left in the tank even!
:
: And my bodyweight was only 228lbs today, so
: thats a 2.19x bodyweight bench!!! I wish I
: could say I celebrated, but the first
: thought in my head after I stood up was
: "now what's it gonna take to get to
: 600?" I'm sure you all know what I
: mean... Anyway, just wanted to thank you
: guys for giving me the motivation and
: encouragement this weekend when I saw all of
: you! I'll talk to you all soon.
