Another good day considering I hit a new bench PR...finally. I've been going for 105 for a few months now. I have been able to push 100 up like it barely weighs anything, but add 5 pounds and it's like I'm trying to push a mountain. I'm not sure if it's a mental block or a physical weakness, so I've been working on both with visualization techniques and ancillary work- paused presses, rack press, incline press, close grip press, doubles at 90 and 95 and then shoulder and tricep work. And finally it paid off as 105 soared through the back to the pins. Now on to 110.
