Reply With QuoteHey, that's great.
No need to compare or gauge yourself based on the performance or expectations of others. Secondly, one key element in being successful is the importance of setting attainable short term goals in addition to your long term goals!
Keep at it man!

New Personal Best
Not much for some of you but i hit a new personal best today at the gym, I hit 215 max on my bench! This is the most I have ever been able to lift on flat bench and I was so pumped up and jacked I had to post it.
Probably not real impressive but I was excited, and my lifting partner was happy for me too. Nice to see some improvement, only 2 months ago I was maxing at 185!
ROCK ON
Be nice to me; someday you may be laying on the street, look up and Ill be there loading you into an ambulance.

Dude, that's fantastic. I have been known to start crying at the gym when I break through a plateau. Then my wife smacks me and tells me to stop being a pantywaist. As for the number, the only thing that matters is how you feel. Did you do anything special to break through?
Because I'm not on an Atkins Diet nor would I ever do one. I'm a BB not a dieter!

it's awesome when you hit a max like 215 that you've been working hard for and then in a few weeks you are benching it for reps! keep at it!

Hey thanks guys!!
When I was in high school, 12 years ago, I had a max bench of 205 but quit lifting when I got out of school. It felt so good to blow through the 215 mark....I practically jumped off the bench and shouted YEAH and gave my partner a high five!
I really appreciate all the support from everyone here!

I love to max out, i try to do it once every month or so...it gives me a sense of accomplishment and makes me fooel good about myself.
I think I better take a before picture before I get too far to say this was me, and this is me now. As soon as I get it taken, I will post it.
Thanks again for all the encouragement!!!!!
