Press+ Tuesday: Ups & Downs

REALLY disappointed with my benching tonight. I was certain - one hundred percent certain - I had three reps of 152.5 kilos. It's just lucky I had Trent to assist with that third rep or I'd have been stapled. I made sure to pause them... that  obviously cost me the rep I would have had if benching touch-and-go.


But the number I hit on my axle overhead press has caused me to review my training log; I'm pretty sure I'm hitting personal records right now, and have been for the last couple of weeks.
!! And I can confirm that my axle OHP (and incline press) is definitely a little stronger. My previous bests were 7 reps of 90 kilos and 6 of 100... I'll need to hit another 7 reps of 100 next week if I want to keep the PRs coming.
