11.30.09--Heavy Bench

I don't know exactly what happened to me, but something clicked for me and I was just in the fucking zone!

Beard Growing Competition:
There's a reason why the competition is 30 days long. Maybe it was the long weekend or something, but my growth came on very strong to give me a new beard PR and the winner of the best effort category.

Bench Press:
warmups
125x5
135x3
145x3
155x1
165x1 (New PR...old PR was 160. I probably could have done more than 165 the way I was lifting today. I really just was tucking well, keeping the core and scaps tight, arching well, everything was working for me.)

Foam Roller Bench:
155x3
165x3
175x3
185x3x2 (PR)
Once again, I probably could have tried 195 for my last set. Everything felt easy today.

Stability Bench:
20s with minisx8x2 (too easy)
30s with minisx8 (definitely the challenge I needed)

Incline Bench:
95x5x2
115x5

If there were some brick wall that was holding my bench press back before, I felt like I knocked it down like Juggernaut in X-Men 3:The Last Stand.
