My Bench Sucks

But I am on a mission to hit 315 this year again before I turn 59.

I threw up a single at 295 before Christmas. Then my shoulder crapped out on me. Again.

It's feeling better....

Hit 255 for a triple yesterday:

Always impressed with your bench . You are one of the few that do it properly srs . You don’t have your arse off the bench a foot in a big arch, or a bounce the bar off your chest.
Also you don’t flare your elbows or go a hundred miles a hour , perfect bench form imo .


Disclaimer, I do a little bounce off my chest

Whenever I got injured in the past, which was often, I would always just go back to the beginning and add more reps and work my way back up over a few weeks.
When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.

I haven't hit 3 plates in YEARS now. I can just about do 125kg now (276lbs). I think I did 130kg for a triple in 2023.
