125x4 + fail (bringing bar to 1 inch above upper chest)
-> "fails" were with minimal help
-> TALKING WITH ANOTHER PERSON AT THE GYM, HE TOLD ME HOW BRINGING THE BAR DOWN TO MY UPPER CHEST PUTS A LOT OF UNNECESSARY TENSION ON MY SHOULDERS AND BY BRINGING THE BAR TO JUST 1 INCH ABOVE MY UPPER CHEST WHICH ACTUALLY IS A LOT EASIER ON BOTH OF MY SHOULDERS AND STILL SEEMS TO ALLOW MY CHEST TO STILL DO A LOT OF WORK (AND I CAN DO A LITTLE MORE WEIGHT!! HAHA!!).
