Exson beat me again today as we repped out 405. I had to go first since I lost last week and therefore had to set the tone. I got the first two pretty easy, but begin to fade on rep three and then rep four was nonexistent. I wasn't happy, but figured it would be enough to keep me close, but I was wrong. Exson cruised past three reps on his way to five and the destruction of my cocky attitude. I tried trash talking beforehand by making fun of his shirt and hat and how slow his reps were, but I think it only pissed him off. haha He refused to put on the slanger and see who could do more reps that way. Next week we are hoping to get a couple more guys to join us in the battle and make it even more entertaining. I made need to go with 2 scoops of whiplash next time.

Exson destroyed me today in our bench battle. I was able to do 405 x 3 here and then he went on to do it for 5. That's two weeks in a row he's beat me and I don't see things changing next week when we go for 435 x 2-3. Good work @exsonrodriguez! #obb #orlandobarbell #elitefts #teamelitefts #nubreednutrition #teamnubreed #beard #bench #powerlifting #builtwithbrokenpieces #destroyed
