So, I've never benched 225, which is some weak ass shit. I started 5/3/1 with a max of 205, and I thought that at this point, I would be able to bench 225. I purposely only hit the required reps on my 5+ set, then moved up to 205, which I got relatively easily, and then promptly got stapled by 225. I took a bit of a rest and missed it again. This was probably all an ill conceived plan anyway, and I should've just stuck with the program, but I really wanted it. The weight felt very heavy in my hands, so maybe some of it was just a mental thing, being scared of the weight. I don't know, but it sucks. My own fault.
