Bench Press Update v.2 .0

Exactly 1 month ago I posted an update on my bench press goals. Well take a look now!

	Sets	Reps	Weight
Week 1	5	4	50
	5	3	55
Week 2	4	4	55
	5	4	55
Week 3	5	3	60
	4	4	60
Week 4	5	4	60
	5	3	65
Week 5	4	4	65
	5	4	65
Week 6	5	3	70
	4	4	70
Week 7	5 5	4 3	70 75

I made it to 75lb. this past Thursday! I'm not done yet, because my goal is to bench press my body weight (which will mean completing a minimum of 2 reps), but I've made it as far as we originally charted. I'll continue following this pattern, and the next update you see will be when I make it!

Also, I just have to say... I was extremely encouraged and straight up proud of myself last Thursday, because I didn't just do 5 sets / 3 reps / 75lb. After I was done, Levi took 10lb off and said how many do you think you can do in a row? I was like...ehhhhhhhh. He said, 6? 7? Try to make it to 7. And I was like...ehhhhhhhh!! But you have to do what your trainer says, so I obliged. And here's what I did, consecutively:

15 at 65lb.
20 at 55 lb.
25 at 45 lb.

Levi then started depicting explosions with his hands next to his head. I was mildly confused until he said, Mind. Blown.

Mine too......mine.too.

P.S. - I also have to praise my man - he finished his Insanity workout program this week! I'm so proud of him! (And also selfishly relieved that 9 weeks of coming home from work to Shaun T on video and an exceedingly sweaty man in my living room doing jump squats in his underwear and tennis shoes...are over.)
