Workout 26 February 2010:

Bench Press 3-3-3-3-3

Results: 185-185-190-190-195lbs
Previous best: 150-155-165-170-175lbs (10 Nov 08)

Since I was working out with a friend today, I felt like it was time to do some heavy bench presses. The first three sets went up easily. The fourth required a bit of work, but since I had a good spotter, I felt like I could go up another 5lbs for a good finish. The last rep took a bit of encouragement, but I was able to press it up without assistance. Not bad!

As always, if you plan to go heavy with the bench press, you MUST have a spotter. If you don't have one, only go at about 90% effort to avoid getting stuck under the bar.
