The computer and all 1-rep max calculators say I cannot bench 225 (2 plates) while my other max records this week were within the realm of possibility by internet gym-info-sites' math. I'm thinking of making a blow out week, or calming down about goal achievement if I'm unable to do this lift which frankly is the more likely scenario.

I MUST HAVE BUMPED MY HEAD

First, when I'm done with this post I'm going to masturbate, and by masturbate I mean play the new ladder season of diablo II. For those of you who didn't vote that way.

About that attempt to bench 225: fail.

Details:
Warm up was not going well. More specifically, when I leaned over to pick a plate off the rack, I raised my head straight into another bar whacking myself so hard in the forehead another guy came over to see if I was ok. Hint - if any person ever asks a guy if he is ok, the answer is yes. You could have a wooden spike protruding from your heart and you'd automatically report "fine, thanks bye." Then on my next warm up set I was so distracted by whacking my head with metal that I failed to put the smaller weight on the other side...so on starting the left I noticed it was uneven and had to stop to put the rest of the weight on. TWICE. Moron.

The 200 I got 4 on only netted me 3, so it wasn't looking good. I got a spot.

The odd thing was - I was close. I got the bar a little less than half way before I really seemed to run out of steam. I might have actually made it but my spot stepped in and nudged the rest of the lift up.

So, fail, but not bad and all in all a good weak...week. I'm going to slot another attempt for 4 weeks from today.

Now I have a big slightly bleeding bump on my forehead. Luckily nothing up there to worry about.
