Bench felt really good today.  Plan was to go 245 for 3, but that 245 flew up, so I decided to try to triple 275, my previous best was 275×1 and I got 2 good ones tonight.  Malcom thought I had a third in me, but I decided to play it safe since I already saw stars.  Haven’t done any heavy benching since last November, so this is ok.  My meet PR is 285 and training PR is 315, so I’m hoping to finally crack 300 in a meet this Sept.  We’ll see.  Training is going well so far.  Got a little twinge in my left shoulder, no pain, just feels “loose”.  Will keep an eye on it.  So we have the WNPF GA State in Sept, WNPF Worlds in Nov, then the AKC Southeast Regional KB Sport Championships in Dec.  Lots of training coming my way!
