For a long time, I have been fighting to get a 225lbs bench press. It's been something I've wanted to do for years now, even before I got into this crazy powerlifting world. I did my best to not get too emotional after this lift, but it really meant so much to me. What surprised me the most about this training session was how easy the weight felt. I had an IPF judge calling commands on this lift and even then the weight felt good. I know I have more in me, but It would mean so much more to save it for the platform.
