Bench PR Finally got 315!!!

[VENOM X]

Aight guys, i finally hit 315 last night on bench for the first time in my life... for those who don't know im 22 5'8 at 176lbs all natural except for protein and creatine... anyway... everybody in the gym was behind me it was awesome. they all circled the bench to yell at me and pump me up. I felt like a celebrity lol. I blew past my old pr of 285 pretty easy so i felt confident that i could get it. Well i went to press, and i don't think i've done a slower press in my life lol. After the first three inches i didn't know if i was going to make it. it literally inched its way up, i was yelling at it telling it to go and so was every body else. Finally i locked it out!! i was pumped!!! Also for added motivation i had a friend who had been calling me out for a couple weeks saying i couldn't do it and he could blah blah.. not to mention he weighs 40 lbs more than me and is on the sauce. So i was sure to make a phone call afterwards to let him know what happened.

Anyways i feel pumped, im in the 300lb club!!

Congrats. Soon enough you'll be blowing by 315 just like you did the 285 on the way to your next PR. Pretty cool that the people in your gym cheered you on.

Thanks again guys, it means alot to have a lot of you veterans to the site and to the sport showin support.

2shy - thanks, i can't imagine 315 feeling light but i know its coming... And it was awesome to have them cheering me on, i've made it a point to get to know the younger guys in the gym and to give them support and motivate them in there training. I felt awesome to have them there for me, it was like the whole gym stopped and circled the bench to help me out. It felt great!! I know it doesn't seem like a lot of weight to some people but it was to me and it was to them too..... I'm still pumped! lol
