175x5@9 PR (This felt so good, decided to do another set)
180x4@10+ PR Didn't have it in me to try the 5th one because I paused too long on my first 2 before going touch n go on the last 2, so the 4th rep was a grinder

Very happy with the 2 big PRs. It's especially meaningful to be able to put up 175 for a set of 5 because I remember that being my max a year ago. Putting up 180 for 4 is also encouraging, because 3 weeks ago I put up 175 for 4, so that suggests that after the meet I should be able to put up 180 for 5 and probably get 185 for 4. I'm hoping I can continue this upward trend so that I can bench 225 by the beginning of next school year

Fatness update: I'm weighing in at about 186.5-187.5 in the mornings. I'm gonna try to gradually lose the weight, but honestly contemplating just competing as a 198 because I may need my fat to get through the winter

7/15/10--Bench

Pretty exhausted today after starting my internship at the Governor's office. It's some pretty cool stuff.

Bench Press:
warmups--when I got to 135, my wrist started giving me problems due to a not serious wrist injury that should be okay within 2 days. Decided to keep it light enough where it didn't hurt my wrist but do enough reps to get the muscle memory back.

Chest Press Machine:
75x10x2

Weigh In:
161 lbs--fully clothed plus shoes, post dinner
