The BPS Rep
meh. this is going to make me look like an ass. so take it easy on me fellas. remember im sorta-ish new to this.
i just maxed at 225 on bench this past week. and just two weeks before i was the kid who dumped 185. had it for 3 reps and it just came down wrong any my buddy couldn't spot it. and it just kinda tumpped over like a bag of bricks. funny thing is i didn't feel like an ass afterward.since i rarely ever see anyone ever go bigger than 135.
isnt really a d-bag kinda story but just a one of those guys kinda thing.
1. A spotter who can't help you with 185 is worthless. Find someone who can actually keep you safe.
2. Change gyms - nobody every goes over 135 on bench? My wife can bench more than that!
3. Everybody makes mistakes; the key is to learn from them. Why did you fail with 185? Are you not paying enough attention to what your body is telling you? Is your form sub-par? It's all a learning experience.
