Ok guys

Last week, as a personal best i managed 1 rep of 122.5.

today on my chest day, with a SKINNY 10 stone spotter who works at the gym and can spot properly, i managed 3 quick reps of 130.

After making a couple of celebration calls to my mates (i'm sad...), i aimed even higher, 140 ! (so 3 big 20s each side no bolts).

And i dunno how i did it, but somehow I managed 3 medium paced reps. I could have done more but the spotter (and coz he works for the gym I can't push it with him) stopped me and said no more weight.

I told the spotter afterwards, you must have helped me! but he swears that he didn't touch the bar until the 3rd rep.

How the **** is it possible for me to lift 140kgs unsupported for 2 reps??

I was wearing a belt tightly supporting my back, perhaps that gave me a boost, I wasn't on an ECA or any thermogenic booster (although my normal 3 spoonfuls of coffee before gym).

The only change was that i trained in the morning, when usually i train in the evening. perhaps i'm alwayus a bit tired out from working and can't push as heavy !

Anyway, i'm in a bit of shock here and dont really believe that I lifted it. I got 2 witnesses tho so i can prove to my friends i did it ! lol
