I literally made a VLOG eariler in the day talking about how I wasn't going to put my feet on the ground for bench press for the next 6 weeks...only to go to the gym and do the exact opposite just a few short hours later. I could just roll my eyes at myself, or maybe my teammate Joe, who basically challenged me to use his shirt. You see, me and Joe are same human, as in, we are basically the same size, and quite frankly we have very similar asshole personalities. Besides the point, he was challenging me, and also throwing his single ply shirt at me. I figured, whatever, sure why not?

And so, I benched 325 in a single ply shirt my first time. I have to say, I didn't completely hate it. Actually, I didn't hate it at all, it was kind of fun. Maybe, just maybe, someday I will switch over to the dark side. For now, I need to get healthy, like actually healthy, and get back to raw lifting. :)
