This is for Mighty_Mike or w/e his name was saying I lifted my ass off the seat. I don't know why it looks like I was training in a dungeon, so sorry for that.

I can't. I prefer to believe that either I get that or it will crush me. Force me to work harder.

I appreciate all the concern over my spotter, however if I did not make the lift I could of easily held the weight till my spotter came.

Thank you tho

Whew, just what I was waiting for. For a second, I thought people might get annoyed, but your post has definitely cleared things up. I have some Squat and DL PR's I hit last week, should I upload them?

Thank you

I know, right? People who are excited about accomplishing something are just the worst!

Oh and this lift may have been posted to show that he wasn't lifting his butt off the bench (which I had previously thought was a possibility.)

No it can't be that!! It didn't say "This is for Mighty_Mike or w/e his name was saying I lifted my ass off the seat." right above the video.

I can only guess. Tuesday I hit 235x5 with not a lot of difficulty. That's about as I as I go on reps.

Pretty good. I maxed out 1 week ago and got 440, working on some form issues and I believe I should have 465x1 by the end of the year. Don't quote me tho

I used to go by that motto too, until I damn near crushed myself. Nice lift btw.

haha fuckin pin. Good job man, keep pumpin and remember if something is feelin funny BACK OFF OF THE BENCH PRESS! lol and get your shoulder rehab work in if you arent, cause if you want the bigger bench weights...those little supporting muscles gotta be up to par.
Aside from that make sure you deload off the bench every so often..
Just some advice from a guy who had a major plateau on the bench, followed these rules and saw gains coming back again quickly. lol

I appreciate all the advice and I will definitely do that. I do have to do shoulder rehab since I fractured my collar bone and it never quite healed properly.

Hopefully next week I will be able to push up the convenient 300lbs. We shall see

Catching the underside of a hook without a spotter is a killer... my right shoulder is proof of that.
