I never know when I'm going to be buried in a collapsed building!

As I mentioned yesterday, my new goal for May to be able to bench press my own body weight. I'm comfortable up to 135#, and I can do a few reps at 145#. We decided to try one rep at 155#.

My first attempt didn't go well. I brought the barbell down to slowly, so I didn't have the energy to push the bar back up. I rested for a couple minutes and we tried again, this time successfully. I can now do one rep at 155#.

We went back down to 145# and I was able to force my way through 5 reps, and then we did another set of 8 reps at 135#.

I'm kind of astounded at how much you can lift...

Myself... I could barely do the bare bar ... then graduated to 5 pound weights on it.

Way to go Andrew!
