Benched 195 for 10 reps. Growing up, crossing the 200 lb bench was basically my peak achievement. Now, 2 kids and a job later, I’m repping the same weight like it’s no big deal
Nice! What's your max?
Based on that 195x10 it SHOULD be somewhere in the 250’s. However I’m discovering a psychological roadblock to lifting heavy weights that I’m trying to overcome. As of right now the best I’ve successfully done is 225, so I’m trying to get my brain comfortable repping out weights that start with a 2 and then trying again.
