Realized I was using way too much weight on bench because I wanted to look cool in front of the guys at the gym

For months I was grinding out 225 for 5 reps but my form was garbage elbows flared and my right shoulder always hurt. Switched to 185 and focused on a slow controlled negative with a 2 second pause at the bottom and now my chest finally feels worked the next day. Anyone else drop the ego to fix their numbers?
