srkelly Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 I hurt my back rock climbing two summers ago (doing a dyno when I shouldn't have...) and ever since then, every time I get close to 135 on bench, it starts to hurt and sets me back a bit. I took a break from the bench for a while recently and did pushups in the meantime, and holy cow, my 135 curse is broken! I benched plates for 5 sets of 5 for the first time in my life today, and I was so pumped. Now that this mental and physical hurdle is done with, I hope to keep going up and up and up!

Armada Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 Killing it! There was always this mind game with 135 for me too. Once you get past the mental part of it you can start making better gains. Quote Previous Challenges: 1Pushups: Green Belt Link to comment
srkelly Posted July 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 It's crazy how much of it was mental. This time, I psyched myself out, squeezed the bar as hard as I freaking could, and knocked them out no problem. 225...you're next Quote Wood Elf - Level 1 RangerBlue Belt in pushupsSTR: 2 DEX: 2 STA: 3 CON: 2 WIS: 3 CHA: 3 flickr | facebook | blog Link to comment
