Tonight was bench night. I came in tonight wanting to bench and do some I havent done before (or if I have I dont remeber doing it). I wanted to do some reps with something heavy(For me). It took two tries but I walked out feeling good. By good I mean exhausted, sore, dehydrated, dizzy, oh yea.....and proud.

455 for 4!!!!!! I wanted 5 and I missed the 5th rep. I was pissed off as I know I had 5. I rested 5 minutes and went again.
