There are times in the gym when the try and try again motto just doesn't work. In the last post I talked about the desire to break 65 pound curls and how long it took me to break 125 on barbell bench press.
Monday I worked chest and back together. I was supersetting barbell chest press with T-bar rows when I realized that I had just pressed 125 for 10 - without a spot. So...I thought maybe I should go for 135 and see what happened. I grabbed a spot a proceeded to press 135 for 7 without assistance and 1 with assistance, for a total of 8.
When I stopped focusing on it and decided to rest for a while, I come back to it and it happens, seemingly without effort. I could have gone up from 135, I am sure, but I didn't. Go figure!
