Bench
135x6
185x5
235x2
285x1
315x1 - PR
I knew not to go for the 2nd rep, but I was so nervous I wasn't thinking. I kept telling myself I was strong enough for a double. TBH, the handoff threw me off quite a bit, so I rushed. Pretty sure the pause was not legit, but I think I pretty much kept my ass down.
So I'm this much closer to being as confident with 315 as I am with 300. Funny how just a stupid number can make me nervous enough to raise my heart rate. I'm thinking I need a lot more reps around 305 to truly own these 3 plates.
I don't feel like I fully displayed my strength, but I'm happy with the small PR and big milestone : )
