Bench Test 20140219

06:30 PM @ JW Marriott Hotel Gym

As planned I decided to test my bench today

1. Bench Press
After Extensive Warm Up of sets of 5 of 60, 80, 90, 100, 110 I went through to the test
115*3, 120*1 (New PR), 125*missed

I'm happy, just broke my record of 116, and i only missed the 125 by a whisker, maybe i should have gone 122.5 first or retested myself on the 125 but i was very short on time, but its time will come one day.

Special thanks to my friend Mahmoud Kheir for spotting, encouraging and supporting me today, actually his shout "go fast" at the bottom of my new 120 kg record, helped me do it, thanks bro.
