    The 150 felt heavy, but 155 and 160 were smooth. PR without pause is 175, so may be able to do more on next bench day.

    Thanks for the spots Pete, Brad and Alex!

    Alignment correction at 115# with Kevin’s fancy schmancy iPad app 😉 Thanks!

    Last time we did bench press I started hitting the wall about 4 sets from the end so I was more conservative this time but I still had some gas in the tank when I finished at 125. Boo.

    Cashout – 500 m row – 1:49

    My first ‘nooner’ class. Coming from my usual 5:45 class, I couldn’t believe how quiet it was in the gym!

    1. Yippeeee! Look at those bench numbers! And you still had gas in the tank??? You’ll be pushing even more weight next time.

  19. Mob wu X 2 (12 reps)

    Bench day (with 2 sec pause)

    45-55-60-65-70-75-80-85-90-95(1 rep, 1 fail)

    Always surprise how quickly benvh oresses gets heavy! Great job Julia and Tania. You girls were both lifting large!!

    1. You did great Heather! Great form! I love the way you always try to perfect yourself! Very inspiring! 🙂

  20. Mobility
    WU x 2

    Bench Day! 🙂
    10 sets of 2 reps with 2 sec pause
    65-75-85-95-105-115-120-125-130(1)-130

    As with shoulder press, I have one arm that is distinctively stronger than the other. My left arm always lags behind horribly as the weight goes up. So weird.

    Great sharing a bar with you Jason and Patrick 🙂 I don’t get to work out with either of you very often.
