Background: I work at OSU as a graduate teaching associate and lift at Ludus Magnus. I am a raw lifter who competes in the 105lb weight classes, and am currently prepping for my next meet (when grad school finally gives me a weekend off) . Currently, I am in the process of trying to accomplish my lofty lifting goals,survive graduate school, and teach undergraduates about what I really love, TRAINING..

Apparently, I was generating so much energy that when I was touching the barbell each time before I benched I was getting a static shock. I was just passing on too many molecules from my body to the barbell. It was pretty funny since it happened on every set. So image this, there I was at four AM yelping, "OUCH!!" before EVERY.SINGLE.REP.
I wonder if it was aiding to activate my CNS though, since bench went very smooth. LOL
