Finally I have reached my bench goal!

porphyria Posts: 106 Joined: 2004/04/24	2004/10/01, 11:37 PM Yes, thats right, today I finally as a fourth set got 10 reps at 135. This has been my goal since I started lifting in sixth grade... ( to do a bench with plates on, it gives you this certain dignity ). I am so proud... I am the only 8th grader I know that can bench that much :). I only weigh 146 also, so this is really good. My brother ( he is my mentor/trainer ) even is giving me props for this :). It feel so good. Just three months ago I only got 7 at 135. Today NO help , NONE, all ten by myself. I'm ecstatic... Thank you guys for answering all my questions and helping me when I needed help. Now on to that six pack abs.. :) Maybe I can get those by my fourteenth birthday. Go Freetrainers! :love:
