Im gonna brag a little now, youve been warned. I just shattered my personal record for the bench press by 10 pounds (15 pounds more that I lifted last week!), a record that hasnt budged in a couple years! Bench Press has always been one of my weakest lifts, Ive never been able to get very heavy with it and its frustrated me for 16 years. I try not to compare myself to other people, I focus on doing better than I did last time, but Im still aware that Im in very low numbers for this movement for men my size. After a stunt from an acting gig tore up my shoulder a couple years ago, I havent been able to get my press up to even my previous best... Until now. Today I started 5 pounds under my personal record and kept adding weight and kept pushing the bar up! I felt like Bruce Willis in Unbreakable! It was awesome! Too bad no one else was here to see it. Anyway, Im proud of myself and feeling really stoked, so I wanted to share. Also, a huge thank you to Taryn Ruppert for helping me rehab my shoulder, your skills and knowledge as a massage therapist are a big part of what made this possible, without her my shoulder would be a frozen lump of scar tissue! Shes amazing!
