I benched the bar!


Recommended Posts

I benched the bar...not just once, but 3 sets of 5.

15 TIMES!!

 

This is HUGE in my world.  I've never been able to bench the bar before!  I remember getting laughed at in high school gym class...all the other girls could bench the bar, even the smaller and thinner ones. I also remember getting laughed at just a couple months ago at the rec center when I still couldn't bench the bar.  :facepalm:

 

So, I started bench presses with light dumbbells, then went to heavier dumbbells, then little 30lb. barbells, then little 40lb. barbells...and now, I can bench press the bar and it's amazing!  This tells me that I really can get stronger, that just because I've been a weakling all my life doesn't mean I have to stay that way.  ^_^
