Lift and Learn
Lifting taught me two lessons today.
My logbook said that my previous lift on the Incline Bench was 150lb (that’s 105lb on the bar), and today I decided to go for 155lb so I put a 45, a 10 and a 5 on each side.
I unracked and pushed out 3 reps, but it felt really heavy and the last rep was very slow. A little confused, I checked the weight and realised that I’d loaded 120lb on the bar for a 165lb lift.
Fucking idiot! I could have got stuck under the bar and really hurt myself, or worse…
But I didn’t. I got lucky.
I learnt two valuable lessons today.
- Always double-check the weight.
- I can push myself harder.
