"It ain't much to look at, but it's honest work." 150, 170, and then back down to 155... lbs. I was tired today, and the warm-up not included, I pretty much hit this and moved on. Admittedly, I'd hope to progress further, but my options for spotters were lacking. . #bench #benchpress #povertybench #povertybenchboiz #lightweight #wantmoreweight #needmoreweight #notstrongenough #neverstrongenough #weaksauce #fit #fitfam #nerdjock #nerd (at Anytime Fitness Ruston) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYXHdOZLEi0/?utm_medium=tumblr

A 6x8 (random, I know), in lbs: 135, 140, & 145, 2 sets each, with the last set overshot by 2 reps (wouldn't surprise me if I overshot more than that one.) . Come the New Year if my shoulder obliges, I'm going to lower the reps and up the weight. I'm tired of working with light weight. .

Felt good enough to do another 10x10 on bench. Whereas as last time I had to lower the weight due to my shoulder this time I kept it the same throughout... 120...lbs. I also kept up with my time oddly enough. . Recorded sets 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, and 10. . #bench #benchpress #povertybench #povertybenchboiz #gymlife #gymtherapy #volumework #lifting #neverstrongenough #neversatisfied #gymlife #gymtherapy #nerdjock #nerd (at Anytime Fitness Ruston) https://www.instagram.com/p/CXPAsxXp8vx/?utm_medium=tumblr

"Should you happen to look up the definition for trash, you'll find a video of my bench press among the examples. . Recorded: 130 for a set of 6, followed by what might supposedly be Larson Press. . I was not feeling up to benching today. Today here felt long and draining with little sleep. Briefly considered volume work and settled for a 3x6. . #bench #benchpress #povertybench #povertybenchboiz #liftingweight #liftingweights #liftingdemotivation #gymlife #gymtherapy #needmoreweight #neversatisfied #neverstrongenough #nerdjock #nerd (at Anytime Fitness Ruston) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWZCeFVLImk/?utm_medium=tumblr

Did a 10x10 on bench, keeping my rest as close to a minute and thirty seconds as possible; though I did fail on at least three occasions throughout. The first five sets were 120lbs, the remaining 5 were 115. It's not much, but it's honest work. . Recorded sets 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 & 10. . #bench #benchpress #povertybench #povertybenchboiz #volumework #lifting #neverstrongenough #neversatisfied #gymlife #gymtherapy #nerdjock #nerd (at Anytime Fitness Ruston) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWG8OHkrtPV/?utm_medium=tumblr

"Well, that felt anticlimactic." . A set of 6, followed by a 4x7, all at a glorious 131... lbs. all close grip. Started, feeling trashed, ended it wanting more. . . #bench #closegrip #closegripbench #povertybench #povertybenchboiz #gymthoughts #gymtherapy #gymismylife #liftingweights #liftingthoughts #lifting #notstrongenough #neverstrongenough #neversatisfied #anytimefitness #anytimefitnessruston #nerdjock #nerd (at Anytime Fitness Ruston) https://www.instagram.com/p/CV03kNxLMXe/?utm_medium=tumblr

In lbs: 120, 135, 155 for a 5x5, followed by 3 sets of close grip (yes, legitimate close grip), for reps with 110. Surprised any resemblance to form held up as my elbows were agitating me. . Edited out as much extemporaneous stuff as I could. . . #bench #benchpress #closegrip #closegripbench #povertybench #povertybenchboiz #gymthoughts #gymtherapy #gymismylife #liftingweights #liftingthoughts #lifting #notstrongenough #neverstrongenough #neversatisfied #anytimefitness #anytimefitnessruston #nerdjock #nerd (at Anytime Fitness Ruston) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVi4nI7Lbko/?utm_medium=tumblr
