Last night was my last training session before Saturday. JC and I training in the fortress of solitude (my basement) and decided to work up to a max single. Things went really well and I ended up setting a new personal record. I did miss the weight I had set for a goal for that day, but I did not feel bad. I kind of burnt myself out on the first max attempt. The second one I know that I easily had it in me, but as I raised the weight off my chest I stalled about 3 inches off my chest. Then the bar dipped about 1 inch (which would of disqualified the lift in a competition) and somehow I reversed it and brought the bar back up to about 5 inches off my chest but stalled out again. The amazing thing is I actually moved the bar from a dead stop and almost had it. Very hard to make a lift once the bar stops moving let alone dipping back down but through brute strength I got the bar moving again. I think I just didn't stay tight enough as I brought the bar down. When you get to max weights very small things can be the difference between a good lift and a bad lift.
After benching I did a max single with close grip bench press and max single with incline presses. Nothing special here.
Then I finished up with dumbell bench presses.
