i train for strength. i just like it.

and in case anyone was gonna ask, i've never juiced in my life. wouldn't even know what it was if it smacked me in the face.
135 x 4 is awesome though! i remember breaking the 135 barrier and thinking i was superwoman. actually, i remember when i hit it for two reps and i thought i misloaded the bar.

grrrr. thats a pet peeve of mine. the spotter never touched he bar, trust me. i get MAD if they do, and i don't count it as a rep.
these were done ALLL on my own.

great job - but the question regarding spotters: have you ever yelled at someone to get their hands off in the middle of a rep? Just need to confirm you r level of hands offishness.

before i bench, if its anyone other than my regular workout partner i'll tell them "i need a handoff, then DON'T touch it till i yell help or its on my throat. even if i'm struggling, DON"T touch it."
then of course, halfway through my last rep, they go to touch the bar and i'll end up yelling "I GOT IT!" and they back off, but i don't always catch them.
i won't count it as a rep if my spotter helps.

You have beaten 90% of my gyms populace. Nice lifts, imagine the looks you will get with 2 wheels on = )

lol... i hope it doesn't sound shallow, but those looks might be the only thing pushing me to 225.
i've gotten 205 before, but it probably didn't look impressive to anyone but me.
