not sure how i am here but after immense pain Tuesday during the day I was able to make my back pop (to the point where i thought i broke it) and all the pain and discomfort left my body. I was sure this is what an exorcism felt like (seriously).
although this may have been the wrong decision my competitive nature and ego wanted to see if I was able to bench. All things considered it went well, I took 385 for a second attempt and to my surprise it did not move as well as id have liked. After discussing things with coach Gaglione we are going to bypass hitting a 400lb bench, go for a small PR and increase my total as much as possible because that is where my original goal lies.
