Weightlifting: 245 for 8 Bench Press

 

The Bench Press PRs keep on coming! Dropping all overhead work and pressing three times a week seems to have done the trick. My right shoulder also feels great. It's strange, since most people seem to credit the Bench for messing up their rotator cuffs, while I can't press overhead without my right shoulder aching for days. Incline also irritates my shoulder. PR sheet updated below:
