Delayed the final bench session due to psychological trauma of exam prep. Went into the uni gym today with one goal, to bench 110kg.
Bench - 10xbar, 5x40, 3x60, 2x80, 1x100, 1x110kg Never any doubt!

Nice work brother!

110kg twice, good to see your strength getting up there again.

What class was it, pretty cool class if you get to max out on bench.
