Use loads of small plates then so you convince yourself it's only a light weight on the bar

yeh got 145 not to competition standard though which is my main aim at the minute to be honest. I think its a physcological barrier stopping me getting the 150!

Are you trying to tell me LMC that the fact my spotter was rowing atleast 50kg of the weight means that i didnt actually bench 150kg?

I can now do 140 for 3 but as soon as i hit 150 i lose it.

Anyone else got any updates?

Lol - I've seen lots of clips on YouTube of people upright rowing with their spotter lying underneath them on a bench helping them get the weight up. Apparently they claim this is actually a "Bench Press" but I'm not convinced.
